I'm so Glad Christmas is OVER!!!!

I can honestly say I am so glad its over...My Christmas SUCKED!!!! First of all...at Thanksgiving, my family decided that they wanted to do a gift exchange. Now this would have worked for any other family, but my GHETTO-ASS family always has to fuck some shit up.....

They decide to include the T & J. Okay, T is 11 and J is 9. When are they going to have money to buy presents? My sister has 1 daughter who is 15 so at least she can earn some cash-ola. Then my ever-so-trifling-father and his new white wife show up. FABULOUS. So E didn't want to be rude and exclude them so they got included. Bottom line. T had to buy for my sister, J had to buy for my niece, E had to buy for my mom, and I had to buy for the "new white wife". Bottom line, I had to buy for 7 people including my kids and E, while everyone else had 1 or 2 people. Why am I the one with the biggest family, yet shouldering most of the expense? Why were the kids included, aren't kids ALWAYS excluded because everybody knows they aint' got no damn money? Nope, not according to my family. Then they set minimum spending limit of $30. What kid has $30?????

Sooooo, on top of that, I send an e-mail out 2 weeks before Christmas with the menu. My mom gets a free 2 lb. turkey breast every year from her company. So she's bringing that, and some damn potatoes. That's it. Now tell me how is that going to feed 13 people? So long-story-short, E and I end up buying the equivalent of 3 whole chickens and frying them up so everyone can get some meat. We also made a cake, potato salad, greens, Macaroni & Cheese and bought some soda. My sister, brought a salad and cake. My mom, scalloped potatoes and her little free turkey breast. Well, everybody FUCKED the CHICKEN UP and left the turkey breast there. Then my mom took the shit back home! Once again, we have the biggest family, yet shoulder the largest expense. It wouldn't be so bad if this was the only year, but its like this at EVERY holiday, EVERY year. McShady, also known as my father, and his new white wife decided to go spend Christmas with her family, but didn't bother to tell any fuckin body that shit. So he was supposed to bring candied yams, soda and ice-cream and he didn't the fuck up. For those of you that don't know, that is my dad's M.O. He MAY show up, he may not - you just gotta wait and see. So I buy the new white wife a present, and she doesn't even show up. No call, no e-mail. So I got no present, and her shit, is going right back to Target. Ya got me bent!!!

My sister's boyfriend had E and he's a cheap mo-fo. He got E a burned David Banner CD, a burned copy of the Butterfly Effect and the computer game Myst, which came out in 1998. Umm, wasn't the limit $30? How is burned copies of shit, costing money? E was so pissed off he didn't even want to let him eat our food. Then on top of that, that mo-fo took a gang of the leftover fried chicken home before he left!!! Black people, I tell ya....we be some triflin peeps sometimes!

McShady called me Friday and left me a voice mail, I didn't even return the call. How you gone call me the day AFTER Christmas with some bullshit? Wasn't the proper thing to do to let somebody know BEFORE hand? This is one of the MANY reasons why I am so cool off his ass, he is trife and selfish, as always.

So anway, the good part is that this will be the LAST year we go through this shit. People really ain't gonna like me next year because if they don't bring, they ain't eatin'!!!!

Damn...2 More Months Have Passed!!!

What can I say...A nigga has been BIZZZYYYY, goddammit...BUSY!!!

I think I'm at that point where I am like so focused on so many things, that I don't have time for anything. For example...this is my VERY LAST year of college and my GPA has not fallen below a 3.4....so I've been working my ass off to maintain that. Before I took that stupid-ass economics class in fall term, I hadn't fallen below a 3.5, but that mo-fo of a teacher gave me a C, the 2nd C I've gotten in my entire college years, so I dropped to a 3.4... BASTARD!!!

Work is kicking my ass...royally...I've never worked so many hours in my entire black life! I have been working my ass off all year....I can actually feel the grey hairs growing under my scalp. Maintaining these accounts and kissing a lot of ass to keep them is hard damn work I tell ya!!!

I can't believe Christmas is right around the corner. Usually I am Mrs. Christmas over here...house decorated by the evening of Thanksgiving...Lights up, Tree up, presents purchased and wrapped....etc. etc. Uhhhh, not this year. So far I've gotten each of the kids 1 present each and haven't purchased not one damn thing for anyone else. The sad part is that I can honestly say, I don't give a damn if I get it done or not, I'm so tired I just want my damn day off! I am taking tomorrow off though so I can attempt to get some things done.

My kids have been gone all week with their dad. He has them until Christmas morning and then I go get them and have them the duration of Christmas break. It's been kinda nice because I don't have them in my ear every 5 minutes..."MOMMMMMMYYYYYYY, how come there's no presents under the tree???" Speaking of tree, this is how stressed I've been. I go to Target like 3 weeks ago and bought a fake tree. I HATE fake trees with a passion, BUT last year I bought a real tree and never watered it, so I killed a vaccum cleaner trying to get up all the pine needles when we took it outside. On top of that, we didn't set it out with the trash, cuz we are cheap mo-fo's so E put it in the backyard. Where it sat until July...yesss my ass said July...Imagine how GHETTTOOOO we looked with a dead ass Christmas tree in our brand new house.... in our brand new subdivision..... in the backyard..... in Motha-Fuckin JULY.........Anyway, so E got pissed because of all the hassle so he's like no real tree this year! So I'm at Target and I see an OKAY looking 6 foot tree on sale. So I told J to grab the box and put it in the basket. Well that tree has sat in my living room in the box since I bought it...I finally pulled it out on Tuesday to set it up...ummm it ain't no 6 Ft. tree. J grabbed the wrong box...it's a 4.5 foot tree. I'm like what the F??? So I box that shit back up and went back up to Target to exchange that shit. They are sold out of 6 foot trees now. So guess what the fuck I got sittin in my living room? A 4.5 foot Charlie-Brown-Ass Christmas tree!!! Next year I'm getting my real tree, I don't care what ANYBODY says!!!

To top that off, I cannot get JS out of my head...why I tell you, why??? Isnt' it weird how you think about someone like really intensely and then it just goes away? I've always heard that when you think about someone that intensely, they are thinking about you the same way....Maybe I should send an e-mail.....but no that would just stir up drama....I dont' know.

Next year I have a goal to get some pics up so everybody can see what a hot BEE-YATCH I am!!!! I'm gonna try to post more often too, it's very therapeutic, I must say!!!
Merry Christmas People!!!
