I gotsa J-O-B!!

After graduating, I was working as an temporary employee of the college I graduated from, the beautiful, the prestigious College of Charleston ;-)within a couple of months and after filling out countless job applications,going on a few interviews, I began to feel a little discouraged. Finally in December, I got a call back that sounded truly promising!!! It was from the College of Charleston, I was asked if I was still interested in the position. Lord knows I tried not to sound too overjoyed or excited (all the while I was jumping up inside, cheesing from ear to ear and feeling so humbled). I had to work at my other part time job right before I had my interview. So I had a mad dash to change out of that uniform into something MUCH nicer. And wouldn't you know on the way to my interview, a sista got a visit from "Aunt Flo" O_o I didn't let that deter me, did what I had to and kept it moving!! The interview was no longer than about 15 minutes, I was so confident and thrilled! I had a knowing that the position was mine. A couple days later, I received the offer!!! A sista girl was crying and praising the Lord honeTy...and you know I ACCEPTED!! January 7th of 2013, I began my new position as the Administrative Specialist II in one of the BEST departments on campus!!!

April 21st 1998...The day that changed my life for the better....

April 21st 15 years ago my life changed for the better. Sure I was an 18 year old college freshman...so of course my life was suppose to be FA BO LO US <---yeah I know that isn't the way to spell it but I just felt like reliving rapper Fabolous' continuous and annoying spelling of his name in every rap song he sung back in my day (or as my kids would say, "back in the olden days") My life had become fabulous not because I had met some incredible dude, not because I some over achieving student, but it had become fabulous because I'd become a mom at 5:52 p.m. on a Tuesday evening! Christopher 2nd name 3rd name last name (I can't divulge my baby's whole name up here ;-) had come into this world and made me a better person, but more so he provided me with the title of Mom. The circumstances in which he came to be and who the "donor" of the sperm was, no longer mattered to me, because he was beautiful, perfect, precious...PRICELESS. I would become mama and daddy, since "daddy" wasn't man enough to step up (sad to say some 15 years later he still isn't, but I digress... To my boy, I say that you were fearfully and wonderfully made and there is no one like you and I love that! You're intelligent, funny, brave, lovable, an awesome big brother, son, grandson, great grandson, nephew, student, friend, young man, athlete and so much more...

I'S BAAACCCK

So....let's see here. I've been pretty slack with this blog of mine. :-( A lot has happened in this past few months, both good and bad...all dealing with issues with my family life, hair, new job <--- whoot whoot But I'm back now and I'm promising not to leave you hanging....AGAIN!!!
