Happy Birthday to Me!!! Ow!

So, as many of you may know, today was, in fact the birthday!

Sexytwenty7 (written and pronounced, just like dat!) Ow! Ow! Ow! Owwwwwrrrrrrrrow!

I was supposed to work today, but a kind friend, Nadia- who shares 4/20 as a birthdate, suggested I take off. And it was done!

It started off with my Mass Media Final... I'm kind of a genius. :0) What! What!

Afterwards, I went to pick up my niece, Leiara and we did go shopping! Ow!

Boyyy, lemme tell you how TIRED a sista like me is right now!

I decided to hang out with my niece all day long and to tell you the truth, I could've completed a triathlon and still had energy! I though I was a hand full! Whaaaaat! I ain't got nothing ( I know it's a double negative, but let's not get all bougie about it! I'm fittin' to tell you something!) on her! No-thiiiiiing! Lol!

"Mmmkay, well, what had happened was..." #1:

So, I have no shame, right about now.

I'm calling myself out!

Before we hit the Florida Mall, I was taking her out of her car seat and decided, hmmm... I shall change the diaper! Dunnn, nah, nahhhhh!

I put a jacket down to protect the leather seats and I went in. She had a flippin' Pull-Ups diaper on! Ok?! I wasn't trainnnnnnnned on how to remove this contraption! Arrrrright?! Why don't they put frickin' arrows to show you that the sides detach?! Huh?! I'm going to write a letter of complaint! Yo, I messed up my jacket, her shirt, and I waisted about 20 wet wipes! I was sweating profusely! Profusely, I tell you! PROFUSELY! And you KNOW I hate sweating! It took me near 10 minutes to change her diaper and get her presentable before I could even get her into the stroller! What the heck?! Oh, dear goodness (placing the back of my hand to my forehead)! Are you judging me?! Don't judge me!

Moving on...

I found it to be fun that everyone kept saying, "Ya'll have such big hair!" Lol! Well, thank you! I try and it comes naturally to her! :0)

I picked up a Sexy Mama dress that I will sashay in, right down the sidewalk and straight into Texas De Brazil with a group of old friends and new pals, on Thursday. Oh! Did I mention that my little-big bro bought it for me? Awwwh! I know! That was sweet of him, right? That's my brother! Ow! Hi5!

"Mmmkay, well, what had happened was..." #2:

So, after we finished eating at the food court I decided again... the diaper! We headed to the family restroom. This time I knew to rip the sides off instead of trying to pull it off like a regular underwear. Throw it in the bag! Or garbage, rather! Ow!

I decided I wasn't going to place her directly on that table thinkymabobber for the kids. I went and grabbed a butt-load of those tissue cover thingymajobbers that go on the toilet when you have to do a no. 2 and laid them all out on the table thingymabobber, so her skin wouldn't touch it.

And thennn... oh, sweet goodness...

She started crying so loud and hard!

I was shocked!

I turned to her and started asking what I did wrong!

She cried to me, "Auntie! I don't want to go to the doctor! Ahhhhhhhhh! Ahhhhhhhhhh!"

Poor girl. I messed her up for life!

Lord knows I gave it my all today... I truly really did. I'm not perfect. Just human.

I took a picture of us at the food court and oooooooh, WEEEE! That picture will never surface! OK?! We both look like we been through it. But truth be told, it was an experience to remember. I spent the entire day with my niece and that was a beautiful gift all it's own.

I'm blessed to have seen the light this morning.

I'm blessed to be loved and even more to have the ability and understanding to love someone else.

I love my life and I wouldn't trade it for the North Star.

Life is beautiful. Thank God. <3
