Allow me to vent....

‘You need to calm down…’

I don’t need to do shyt.

Some one told me that just the other night after he told me a story about one of his friends and his battle with the courts over child support. Sensitive topic. He knows this. And still had to nerve to tell me to calm down.

I needn’t do anything I don’t damn well feel like doing.

On top of everything else, G had to get his vaccinations and he was crying like the dickens for five hours straight… FIVE – HOURS-….STRAIGHT!!! My mom and I are at our wits end, I’m looking like who shot john and forgot to kill him, my mom is looking at me like, really, who did shoot john and forget to kill him?, while his father is up with some woman, freak-freak-freak. Now, I don’t care what the hell his father does… just take care of you kid. On top of all of that, I had 545 dollars to come out of my pocket with because G health insurance is saying he isn’t covered. WTF?!! A week prior, his dr.’s office called to say if this isn’t resolved, Grant couldn’t be seen. Come again? I went up in there, lay G on the table and started undressing him. Oh, yes, he was being seen… rather I had 545 dollars or not, he was going to receive whatever services it was that he had needed. Call the police, call the governor, call on Jesus, if ya want… He is always on my side, by the way, so you might want to try someone else. Best believe, when you get off the phone, I will be sitting right her with my naked child waiting to be served. I’ll be Joanna Q up in this piece, just watch me.

So I mentioned to his doctor about how it seems to me that his health was being held ransom for an effing measly 545 bucks. She asked me, ‘why whatever do you mean?’
I explained the phone call I received and so on, so forth. She was ‘appalled’ and that him not being able to be serviced wasn’t what was meant to be relayed. Anyway, she said in front of the receptionist, that it was only meant to be bought to my attention to make sure G is/get insured before bills racked up. Blah blah effing blah. I was through yesterday. And for you to tell me I need to calm down after I tell you all of this….

Kiss my arse!

Anyway, I forgot to tell you all about my wig. It has so taking on a life of its own… after giving birth to G, my hair fell out. I hadn’t been eating well while I was breastfeeding (double whammy), I wasn’t sleeping at all, and I was worrying about my decision to bring him into this world amongst other things. My hair literally fell out over night. I would wash it and wads of hair would be in the tub, in the comb, on the sink, in the towel, on my hands. That made me stress even more. So what did my informed undeniably genius ass do? Put braids in. That clean the rest right on off. So I went to a dermy and she shook her head. She knew everything I did to my hair/myself during/after pregnancy. She knew I dyed it, I wasn’t eating right, knew I’d stressed my edges with braids and that I stressing myself… she just knew. I love her. She treated my hair and gave me a lecture and then she sent me on my way with a pat on my ass yelling ‘go get ‘em, tiger!’. I went wig shopping later that night just to see if I can actually rock one. Needless to say, I can. I rock a lot of things well… ask Grant... and my ex's about their worlds.

My wig is FIERCE. It is a short beetles look but it looks pretty okay on me. I’m entertaining the though of getting a whole wardrobe of wigs but I fear the reliance. My mom and I look like twins now… she rocks wigs too. The older I get, the more Ms. L. I’m becoming. (Vomits in mouth… just a lil bit). * wink*

*pic removed*

By popular demand, here he is... my mini-me. Manaenuke, Paw, sexy lips, dirty mcgirty, ahun, Granty, MY. FIRST. LOVE. ...along with numerous other names, terms of affection, monikers etc. He bit my lip the other day. Gums are no joke. that or he has one strong ass jaw. in fear of photo thieves, i will be taking this pic down in five days. I wish i could have scanned a pic of me when i was a youngin to post side by side with G and you all can see what i mean when i say he looks just like his momma... minus his father's nose.

Here i am...

So I got the car. Honda. Accord. Mine. Finally. I effing rock!

Anyway, nothing much is going on (thank God and His plump-faced angels) no news is good news. I have been practicing driving. I don’t know if I’m a very good driver or a very bad one. I will tell you after my first accident.

Baddy is finally doing his thing… in increments, but his ass is finally coming around. I had to get in it a few times,… his ass that is,… but it was worth the stench. G baby is fantabulous. He is looking more and more like me everyday… except he has his father’s nose. My mom, the southern superstitious woman that she is says to me….'you know, when a child looks like its momma, that means she doesn’t know who the father is.' I looked at her, and said in a calm voice, I know who I sleep with. Plus, look at his nose. That right there definitely isn’t mine! And she left it alone. And people wonder why I am so damn crazy… the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.

Quick question: why does it seem the older you get, the bigger your purse gets?. (maybe even some of you metro sexual males to can answer this too) My purse weighs like 12 lbs. I have a row of quarters for laundry (yall southern folks don’t know much about laundry mats or should I say ‘washeteria’), a wallet as big as the purse, six pens, a pad, my keys, my cell phone, my cell phone’s charger, a highlighter, napkins and tissue, lotion (palmer’s baby, got to control the ash) three tubes of lip gloss, three tubes of chap stick, eyeliner and about 100 pennies. WTF you ask? You never know… I’m prepared for a lot of ish. Laundry, ashy lips, low battery. What cho need? A napkin for that donut? Four pennies for tax? BAM! I’m Eveready! Speaking of batteries, I have some of those in my purse too. Cause you never know….*wink*

Going to the club Friday with my BFF and her sisters. Get my Ciara bootie bounce on. Imma try to shake some inches off this tire around my belly so I won’t be embarrassed to hold on to the overhead pole while riding the train this coming summer. Having my belly jiggle along isn’t my idea of hot damn… maybe got damn… but not hot damn..

Coming up in Epi’s next post: ‘my new wig’
