Where do I start? Okay….. my moms BD
is tomorrow June 22, and we * my sisters and brother* are taking her out to
dinner. She normally likes to eat at her favorite spot * Texas Roadhouse” but
this time she wants to go to the Golden Corral. I’m really
looking forward to it.

I was suppose to make my dad dinner for
Father’s Day, but he was mad at all of his kids, days leading up, and haven’t
been answering his phone. LOL My daddy LOVES the grand kids, but he gets mad at
us. May daddy is a trip, when asked if he still wanted the dinner, he
said….don’t make me no difference. I called him tonight, and he wanted to go
into this story of “his kids” not visiting him like we should, and that he
regret not visiting his mom when she use to ask and beg him to come over. I
asked him… “daddy do you think what you didn’t do for your mom is back around
for you”. He said he thinks so…..then I got to thinking dang…..what if
Neisha do me the same way when I’m old? LOL Something to think about huh? My
daddy is too much for me, he likes to say his little stuff and say stuff he
shouldn’t say, and then when it leaves a “bad taste” in everybody mouth, he
wonders why no one like to visit him. We take turns taking him to the grocery
store, and to his doctors appointment. I’m not a person who likes to visit, he
isn’t either, or my mom. I will call you, and make sure everything is good, but
to just sit up in your house, ….can’t do it. Now with my dad he doesn’t like
to go dinner, or come over unless its a holiday, he wants what he wants when he
want it. And I feel bad to say, but I think he is guilty of how he didn’t do for
his mom than anything. Everything he said she was, I think he feels he is. I
love my daddy, and he has gotten so much better since he and my mom separated.
But he has to cut out that “woe is me mentality.” That……I won’t deal
with.

Sistergurls, and Raisingurls. Last week me
and 9 of my Sistergurls went to the Golden Corral for dinner, talks and laughs.
It was very crowded. After about sitting for 2 hours and about 40 minutes the
General Manager came over and told us ( I was making a plate) that the time
limit to sit was 11/2 hours. “Um excuse me Sir”? Where is that sign, and when I
got back to the table, I told him that I wanted to talk with him. He knew I was
not happy, and I let him know it my “nicest and quiet, direct eye contact,with a
smile… VOICE that the ONLY reason why we are leaving is because we are done. I
let him know that when we spend our money, we can sit as long as we want. A few
of my Sistergurls didn’t take the situation well, but we left anyway, and went
walking at the Riverwalk.
We had a good night talking over the Detroit River. In
my mind, we changed something negative into something positive.

This Sunday I’m picking up 2 of my
Raisingurls for dinner at Applebees. They are really looking forward to seeing
me and I feel the same. I love my gurls too. They have lots of work to do that
day besides eating. LOL Lots of paperwork and conversation.

I think I’m going to ramble because my mind is all over the place. LOL

I love using “words of endearment” to my customers and especially kids. When I greet a child and say ” hey pretty face” it really lights there faces up. I remember as a child,  feeling down for whatever reason, and when I hear an adult say to me, ” hello pretty gurl” or “hello sweety”, that would make me feel so good inside. I always said that when I grow up, I would make others feel the same way. And I love it. I believe that eye contact and the tone of your voice is very important when dealing with people daily. As a person in customer service, its very important to me to make sure that I make a person feel as great as possible. Some wont appreciate it, but most will. So, today I Thank God for the soothing tone of my voice and my ability to communicate in a way that makes me memorable. Thank you Lord, because at one time…..it would never be so. But you changed my whole way of looking at people, and life and I Thank you.

May 1, 2011 Raisingurls To Women starts back up. Oh, my goodness, I have be working hard on my projects for them, picking and choosing topics that we will be discussing. This year, IF THE LORD SAY THE SAME…. I want to have only 6-8 gurls. I can reach them better with less. I have had over 30 gurls in my group at one time ,and it was too much for me. WE had a hotel party and we had to rent 3 rooms, which I say, we could have used a few more. LOL I’m excited because last year I didn’t hold meetings from traveling and doing other things. My goal is to take them to Disney World. I’ve been twice, and Neisha’s been 3 times. Most of my gurls have never left the city, and I want them to adapt the mentality to be able to travel and do other things besides roller skate, and sit on the porch.Many teens feel limited and so they become bored and that’s where the idle time comes into play and before you know it, they are forced into a life that’s not God’s plan at all. I feel that I have a lot to offer the gurls and I look forward to getting started.

I’m on my way to bed, gotta work in the am, just wanted to stop by and show my face. Hahaha Take care.
