I’m beat.  Need a weekend from my dang weekend.  From cleaning to making home made cookies Saturday and Sunday, to washing 4 loads of clothes, cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Running errands, grocery shopping and all that in between, I’m tired.  ROFL

I got up and was really trying to  get it to church today and then we had a flash flood warning and my tires really need to be changed so I was not trying to get stuck out in that mess.  But it didn’t even start raining until like 30 minutes ago, so I could have and should have taken my heathen ass to church. 

But like I said I did the laundry, cleaned the bathroom and my room, prepared my taxes and got them ready to mail out.  Got my daughter’s bag and change of clothes ready for the new daycare.  I mean it’s been a very productive weekend.

Now I’m chillin watching the stellar awards.  Wishing I had really gone to church.  The humdinger is, I even IRONED all of our clothes and everything.  Had my curling iron heating up and all…  I should have just went.

Yesterday my sister-in-law called me.  She never calls me.  Why didn’t I just ignore the call when I saw her name pop up?  I don’t know.  But I answered it.  And low and behold she eventually got around to asking me about me and her brother.  But I passed the test yal.  I didn’t open up a can of worms or allow her an in, I simply said, I don’t have any words for our situation, and changed the subject.  I wanted to high five myself. 

I thought that there would be more drama to follow but there wasn’t.  Thank goodness.

Movie Perspectives on Relationships

I was watching the forbidden channel BET today and they were showing Boomerang.  Remember before Eddie got with Halle, his home boy was dating her?  Now, the homeboy and Halle didn’t never do anything.  The first date was a complete bust and they were stating at the Thanksgiving dinner that they were just friends over and over again.  That same night after Halle and Eddie cleaned up the kitchen, they fell asleep and woke up and did “the grown-up”…  So is what Eddie did out of line?  I mean, can you get with your homeboy/girl’s “friend”?  I mean an honestly platonic relationship, even though Eddie’s boy probably would have wanted it to go somewhere else, it didn’t.  But because the homeboy/girl “wished” it were more, does it make the girl/guy off limits?

Then Lackawanna Blues came on, Nana was messing around with Billy.  Billy was a dawg!!! Nana knew Billy was a dawg.  From what I could see Nana rarely gave Billy any, cause she knew he was getting from other places.  So it raised this question, why do women stay with men, even when they know that they know that they are dogs.  Even when Billy took the little boy fishing and left him at the beach, Nana was begging the boy not to be mad at Billy…  And I’m thinking ain’t you bitchin’?  But why?  This is real life shit.  Women do this all the time.  Mind you Billy was down for Nana and things.  And he would do whatever she asked.   But he was a tramp dawg….? 

Why do men feel entitled to their cake and eat it too.  And double dog dare a female to do the same thing?  There’s something wrong with men thinking that women she stay in there place and they can just run rampid and free like a bird. 

It amazes me this mentality.  That they come home when they come home.  Don’t ask them questions, don’t call them while they’re out and ask questions?  When they get home is when they get home.  And so on and so forth.  It’s just amazing.

My husband had similar characteristics.  Go to the store and stay gone for 2 or 3 hours.  Or he would leave and say he’ll be right back and not come home for a few hours.  And expect me to be happy, normal me, like it’s ok for him to maintain like this.  This is how people cheat on you for years, have babies with other people and unbeknownst to you.  You think everything is absolutely normal and you are stunned and amazed when the bottom falls out of your pipe dream.   In Kenya’s voice: “I wish a nicca would!”

There’s no way to avoid someone cheating on you.  But I’ll be damned if I not know for years!

The other show I was watching, not a movie but a show, is cheaters.  The first scenario, I thought they were acting, but this one really made me believe the situation cause they way home chic reacted when she found out dude had been cheating with the other woman for a year and that they had a baby together, really stunned her.  And then at the  end of the episode, dude found out that it wasn’t his baby anyway…

Yeah it was a whole bull of fun, but that’s the kind of shit why we have shows like Snapped.  Ma-fuckas need to get their shit together, cause it all makes no sense to me.  NONE
