Holli went to stay with my Mom for her Spring Break this year. She’s in daycare so she truly does not have a spring break, but she hears other people talking about and decided she needed one also. I took her to my Mom’s house on Sunday March 17 and decided to stay for awhile and talk to my Mom before she went to pick up my little sister.
Holli walks up to me and goes…
Holli – Mom I thought you said I was staying at Suga’s by myself
Me- You are Sweetie
Holli- Then why are you still sitting on Suga’s couch. Its nighttime outside
Me- Holli I know it’s nighttime. I am talking to my Mom and when I get thru I am going to go home
Holli- but when
Little Heffa. She had a great time at Suga. On Tuesday she started to cry for me so I went to pick her up. She told my Mom she had lots of fun and wants to come back, but she missed her Mom. Just when I am ready to put her out of the house she goes and says something like that.
Well the next day Holli is getting ready for school and wants to wear her St. Patrick’s Day tiara to school. I tell her she can’t take a toy to school so she can’t wear it. Without missing a beat she goes Mommy, a tiara is not a toy, its jewelry. You can wear jewelry to school. LOL yeah right kid.
Easter was kinda of a dud this year. First of all it was soooooo early. Thank God we will not be having anymore middle of March’s Easter’s for awhile. Saturday, Holli and I got up and went to the clubhouse Easter Egg Hunt; we then went to the one at the library and finished off the day with an early dinner at Chik Fila. Not to bad. Holli begged to play with the stuff in her Easter basket. So I had to give her a very firm NO and threaten to throw it away before she would stop asking. She is persistent if nothing else. Next year I am hiding the Easter stuff in my closet. I am not doing the Easter Bunny leaving the stuff at the house, but Easter goodies will not be sitting on the table for me to be asked about every single freaking day.
I had also presses Holli’s hair so this was her first Easter without Afro puffs. She looked so darling. I hate that my camera is broken. I plan to take pictures everyday once I get my camera replaced. I hate not having a camera. It is my next priority.
Anyway I digress; I woke up Easter with horrible cramping and was bloated beyond measure. I tried to wear my Easter Dress (got for $10 bucks at Goodwill – woohoo) but it was not happening. After going thru about 5 other outfits I finally decided on my black knit pants, black tank and turquoise top. Holli was in her very beautiful yellow Easter dress. We looked like Mutt and Jeff. Anyway I get to church and I was probably one of them most dressed up females. People had on jeans; it was so laid back and casual. I can’t believe I was making a big deal out of an outfit. . So we get there and because I was not feeling well. I had not started dinner. Little Caesars was closed for Easter so off we go to Wendy’s for an Easter Dollar Menu lunch. I the take a nap. Holli watches her movies and I finally find the energy to get up. We color eggs, I cook our Easter dinner and then we watch the game plan. I enjoyed it, but it was really too long for Holli. She had ever seen the ending.
So Easter was not what I was a hoping for this year. Hopefully since it is in April next year and I will not be paying off large debts we will have a really great Easter complete with an actually Easter lunch and lots of pictures.
living life one fabulous day at a time!

Life is good.
2007 ened and 2008 began with my life just in a mess. I felt like I was just going thru the motions trying to hold it all together. I can now say as today I can finally say the fog has lifted and things are about 5000% better.
Now my main problem is the upstairs neighbors from hell. They have 2 little boys who they allow to run nonstop untill 11 pm some nights. I tried talking the wife and all I got was this blank stare from her while the 2 boys wrestled behind her. I filed a complaint with the office and the husband lied and said that the boys are in bed by 9 pm. Tonight I had to call security on them for loud music. I got tired of waiting for a call back and jsut beat on the ceiling. Even Holli is complaining and wants me to go to the office to complain again.
Part of me wants to be an adult and work the the apartment staff to solve this problem. Theo ther part of me wants to go thru the apartment beating on my celing with a broom so they can get a taste of their own medicine. I really need to look into renting a townhome or house in the fall.
Other than that Holli suppose to be staying with my Mom for 3 days. My Mom usually flakes out on me so I am waiting for the call when she tells me she is sick and can't do it or she keeps Holli on Sunday and asks me to pick her up on Monday. My Dad wanted her this week also, but I did not feel like driving to Itasca in the middle of the week to pick her up. Now if I could get her Dad to get his head out of his ass and be a part of her life.
Well that's about it for now.

2007 Update - October
Hello I am updating from the past year and then hope to move on to regular posts at the end of each month
Well it’s officially fall, but not really here in Texas. We are having some cool morning, but the afternoons are still in the low 80’s My daughter wore long sleeves and a coat to school this morning, but will need shorts when she gets home.
I am a little behind in updates so here it goes. I will have to add pictures later. My digital camera has decided to go kaput so I am doing old school and now have to have pictures developed and loaded to a CD. The one thing that I am actually in the 21st century about and it has died.

Holli had her dance performance. She is in a pre-intermediate class and I can really see how much she has learned from her beginners class. I also got to see the competitive, perfectionist side in her even more. She got an answer wrong when Miss Jasmine asked her a question so after that she was bound and determined to get every answer and show each step the rest of the class.
October 26
Fall Carnival at her school. It was small and personable. Holli had a great time because she got to wear her official Cinderella costume and not last year’s Tinkerbell costume she had to wear to school earlier. She loved the bounce house the best. I did not think she would ever leave so I gave her tickets to someone else

We had a Fall Carnival at our apartment complex and I won a cake. They tried to give me the monstrosity of a cake. It was a large jack o latern, but I passed on it and got a little loaf cake. We had a great time. The evening was marred by vandals who decided to slash tires in our area. Thank God my tires were not one of the cars, but I feel so sorry for the others. Some people had all 4 tires slashed on their cars.

Princess Cinderella officially reigned in our home. She wore her costume to school and they visited a nursing home that morning and the evening we went to the carnival at Prestonwood Church – OMG that is a big church. I did not realize that it actually cost money, I am so glad I brought some money. I bought a book of tickets and had a blast.
Holli did the bounce house and we rode the train together, but her most fun was getting to join the kids on stage from PCA and sing the closing song to High School Musical 2 All for one something… She loved being on stage and afterwards I could not get her to do anything else. She wanted to hang out around the stage in case she got to go back up there. She is also so sweet to the little ones. I know she wants a little sister so whenever she sees a little girl around 2-3 she takes extra time to talk to them. She even gets down to their level and talks to them. One of the Moms at the Carnival told me she was willing to rent her daughter out if I wanted to take her home. Lol. We left the carnival before the crowds started to appear and grabbed some Chick Fil A. We were sitting on the couch eating and Holli lays her head on my shoulder and goes Mommy I had so much fun tonight. Thank you for taking me to the Festival. I love you. That was so sweet. All I could think was That’s why I keep you around little girl.
