But it's Good For You...

My kids are gone for 3 weeks. I won't lie, within the 1st hour I wanted to drive back to my momm and get them. But I didn't. I'm a single parent and breaks come few and far in between. I made up in my mind to enjoy this time. Who knows when I'll be afforded the opportunity again.

Lastnight/ This morning... Sheesh where do I begin? I was hungry( since my kids aren't here I'm not pressed to go food shopping) I mean hella hungry. I thought to myself, it's the perfect time to get the girls together. We made a few detours and ended up at Fellini's Pizzeria on Peachtree. I know, kinda late to be eating a slice but oh well. We grabbed a table outside and the pettyNess began. 

I always say, being in Atlanta has afforded me the opportunity to meet great people but everyone is NOT a sisterfriend. These 3 though are the best. I'm glad we sat outside because the four walls could not contain the amount of hollering and laughter that went on. Petty pictures, petty names, petty posts. Yup, that's what we do( if you're not following me on Instagram I'm CheNeka T. Hobbs) 

I'm glad they all know my children and allowed me to talk about them for a brief second( I'm the only one with kids) but chile after I got it out my system, the conversation went straight south. When it's a bunch of women and 1 male( hey Marq) Sex is bound to come up. I must admit, it's good to have a guy's perspective when talking. You may hear some crazy stuff AND stuff you don't want to hear when you have a son but it's all good. 

Talking about sex is so risqué at times but it's a natural conversation. You're either getting it or you're not. And I know this comment may get back lash but if you're going to do wrong, you might as well enjoy it! And let's not forget about 
C-O-O-K-I-E-S..... A blog for another day, shrugs

Being around good people, food and a good beverage is ALWAYS good for the soul. I'm a bit sluggish this am because I haven't hung out that late ( I got in bed after 3AM, I think) in a while but it was well worth it.. 

So listen up, my kids will be gone for 3 weeks and I don't mind driving! Lol
I'm here for the fun and late nights. They make me happy. Call me, shoot a text, email me, leave a message. I'm here for it ALL and I want to live a little... Lol I mean it isssssss, " Summer, Summer, Summer Time"...( yessss Fresh Prince).

Lil Boy Bye....

I absolutely, positively loathe SOCKS!! I know, no socks your feet will sweat and stink but I don't like them. But I'll sleep in them when it's chilly because they hold in heat..Or, I'll put them on to walk around in the house because I feel like I need something on my feet.  Please don't judge my life! Lol It works for me... 

Keeping up with socks in our house is like a chore. In the laundry room we have a basket just for socks. I wash them and I promise the dryer bandit takes a few everytime. We also have what we call the sock bag and we just grab socks and put them on( well for me it's very sporadic). 

This morning after working out and showering for the day, I was sitting on the edge of my bed lotioning my legs and feet( which by the way my toes are absolutely yummy with this new color by Sally Hansen<---- plug) I put on a pair of non matching socks. I walk out of my bedroom to proceed with my day and little Mr. You know who Boychild, taps me and says, " Mommy you don't know your colors, your socks don't match"... I looked down at this soon to be 4 year old and said, " excuse me". He pointed at my socks and said, " that one sock is purple and that other sock is pink". 

All I could do was laugh because( and I hate to admit it) he's right. They don't match. Lol
This adds to my reason for me not to wear socks. We lose them.. But if you look closey, in MY defense they match because the colors are the same. ( yup I'll disagree with a kid too) lol

Well lovies, what can I say. There's always a laughable, teachable moment with children and I'm glad he's paying attention. So what if we're wearing mismatched socks. If I'm happy, you should just love it... Yes son, you too!!
