I'm so proud of my husband… it's hard to be away from him, but we're SO blessed to have his undivided attention when he's home. #lovinghim #
Thinking of my Pappaw this morning *smile* Sitting in his lap "driving" to "the little store" … Bluegrass festivals in his camper. #bliss #
Hubby won't be home for Easter – has to work an extra week. Gotta break that to the kids. I better do it now before they see it online lol #
Wow. The toilet bowl totally busted. How does that even happen?! http://t.co/9hQZ5VFL #
Spoke to a mom today who does childcare out of her home. Really like her – plan to meet with her next week about babysitting mine. #nervous #
Making Kylan's favorite meal tonight – lemon pepper chicken – made me miss my stepsons :( I love you guys! #family #
I made brownies in a cupcake pan so the inside would be gooey/fudgey, then topped each of them with Oreo sprinkles ice cream for the kids :) #
Don't wait until matters are "important" before honoring God. Honor Him in everything you do… #faith #lifelesson #LiveAndLearn #
Kissing my kids is like a drug. It's addicting & every time I do it, at least for the moment nothing else matters in the world. #mommymoment #

Listen to me singing Mary J Blige: Be Without You – My Remixed Acoustic version: http://t.co/YbECsGO4 via @youtube #
This is too many people in one bed! http://t.co/CMooZZSF #
Ava woke up vomiting this morning. :( Poor thing… Now she’s hungry. Praying I don’t see this oatmeal again in a few minutes! #
Sometimes even when you ARE right, you’re still wrong… Life is complicated. Live and learn. #
New month. New week. New day. I’ve had enough frustration, tension headaches, and worry. Leaving them behind in this moment and moving on… #
I do solemnly resolve to embrace my current season of life with a spirit of contentment, without hurrying through any portion of my journey. #
Just watched “Glory Road” with the kids. I love inspirational true stories that hold the kids’ interest while incorporating Black history. #

Stop blaming God for your circumstances when you screw up. God didn’t force you to make bad decisions, but He’ll deliver you just in time. #
Ava is sick today & I’m getting her & Zoe to Chick Fil A… Zoe: “You are the best mama in my life I ever seen!” … Ava: “I know, right?!” #

My baby sleeps so weird! LOL Only Zoe… http://t.co/iXd2Zq6W #
Chronic fatigue is miserable. It makes everything about life exhausting. I force myself a lot but some days I just physically *can’t* do it. #

When someone is attacking you — beating you relentlessly, slamming your head into the sidewalk (as Zimmerman claims was happening to him just before he had NO other choice but to shoot Trayvon in the chest, ending his life), you do NOT have the energy, breath, nor TIME to let out ONE long HEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPPPP let alone several – I mean, test it out if you want… get someone to pound you repeatedly about the face and ram your head into concrete while you’re laying on your back and see if you can get some HEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPs out into the atmosphere in resounding quality. There was no interference – there was no cut-off to the screaming – there was no breathlessness – obviously time to take relatively deep breaths in between each… and the last scream ended with the gunshot.

It’s frustrating to have to share these things with my ten-and-a-half year old son, Tre. It’s hard for me to explain that sometimes he won’t be able to just be the happy-go-lucky child that he is — sometimes he will have to be very aware, very intuitive about what’s going on around him. Sometimes he will have to know instinctively that it’s time to retreat — time to get away from a particular situation. Sometimes he will have to think twice about his choice of clothing for the day depending on where he’s going because it could mean the difference between an uneventful afternoon and being profiled and harassed by civilians or authorities. He asked me sadly, “Mama… do *I* look like a suspect?”
