“All your clothes are either see through or missing fabric.”
- Nathaniel
“You can't wear that! People will see your vagina!”
- Mo
“👀👀👀👀”

Or… Or…
“Oh how I've waited to say these two words to you old friend… Shut up 🤬 🤬🤬”

First things first...
It's Zyi's birthday... Happy Birthday Zyi' 🎂🎂🎂
The last couple days have been super duper uber very long. I've been on the go like nobody's business, ya hear me? This wasn't aided by the fact that I stayed up talking to Tony ‘til like, 3ams TWICE. (This entry isn't about him tho’ cuz I still have no idea where this is going so he's not getting one ‘til I figure out what we're doing. Just know I have feelings on the matter 💜💜💜)
Anywho…
This started Thursday with Mo and Nathaniel living it up in my room trying on clothes, basically shopping. (I tried to give them their space and go to my room but they just followed me in there *shrugs*) It was fun cuz we did quite a bit of dancing around to say I lost track of time. It was damn near 11 by the time I got in the bed. (And I talked to Tony ‘til almost 2:30ams like my ass didn't hafta be up to get ready)
Friday Mo and I made our way to our local Quality Inn and Suites.
^That room was nice as hell. I just need to say that.
^Also tried this.
In support of Nymphia Wind 💛💛💛
^See? Check out this boba look. Underneath are these balloons. We haven't had a reveal this good since Sasha Valour rained those rose petals down in Season 9, effectively stripping Shea of her win. Many have tried, Nymphia is the first, in my opinion, to actually succeed.
She just won season 16 like, 5secs ago and now Alstars 9 starts this week. (I'm already in love with the cast but dude, bruh... Do we really need Roxxxy again? I mean, I know the same can be said of Vangie and Shannel but jeez... 😑😑😑 Either way, still excited. Angeria is on here! And Gotmik! They're doing a none elimination, charity season so yeah, let's see where this is going. Honestly, I really think Drag Race would benefit from a 1st outs season. I would watch the hell outta that)
Sorry. Totally got off topic...
Anywho... We ended up buying some clothes and then we ate at the food court. It started raining while we were eating so we ended up playing outside in the rain and watching some show called Milf Manor. Lawd, why they had these women on there slathering these 20something men down in maple syrup?! I was like: “Whoa. I need an adult 😩😩😩” I'm lying. I was 👀👀👀 all over the place. (The youngest guy on there is 21! The oldest woman was 56 if I remember correctly! Then at some point they added in dads. Like, these guys and their dads competing over the same vaginas is wild to me)
Saturday we decided to mall hop again. While we were in Barnes and Nobles, Nathaniel was asking if he could join us so I said “yes”. I bought Burger King for dinner. After we ate, we went to jump in these people's cold ass pool. They jumped. I did not. OMC… They're braver than me. It was too cold! I was freezing out there. It took awhile to warm up but once it did, it was a way better experience. (We were gonna play Never Have I Ever Ever but there are just certain things I don't wanna know about my kids, ya know? I think separation of church and state is healthy)
Finally we made our way back to the room where I ended up on the phone with Tony. (I've been calling him Cam for the longest. I've gotta get outta that habit. I just like his name so much… Carmello… Rolls off the tongue. It's his middle name tho’. Today was my first time mentioning him in therapy so I'm guessing it's almost time for that entry)
Sunday we went and had breakfast before getting ready to go see a movie (It wasn't Charleston breakfast but they had waffles so Imma let it ride)
^This movie to be exact
We swung by our local Target first...
^I think we looked great. (You know what bothered me Thursday? Nathaniel made a comment about himself dying young and I sincerely hope that is untrue. He's going to do great things in this world if he puts his mind to it all he has to do is believe in himself. I truly believe that)
The movie was pretty good. My standards aren't high for these types of movies so ya know. I'm easily pleased. I loved it.
After the movie Mo's legs were hurting cuz she's in her mini skirt era but didn't have shorts on beneath her fit. Her legs were screaming by the time we left so we went to Barnes and Nobles and after Nathaniel dropped entirely too much money in both Bath&Body works and Spencer's, it was time to head home.
Soooooooooo…
Not gonna start a new entry for this.
^Right now I'm here for Mo and Nathaniel's awards ceremony. (They're in this pic somewhere) While I sit here, I wanna talk about how Player 456 called on Mother's Day (Sunday… A few hours after we got home) to wish me a Happy Mother's Day and ask about Mo's graduation. Mind you, it isn't my place to invite him to her graduation so I gave her the phone. She froze, saying she didn't know what to say. He started yelling at me, talking about I was gonna cause him to miss his daughter's graduation. Wait… What? I kindly informed him that Mo has barely heard from him nor has he been calling her so she wasn't sure. “Y'all haven't been calling me!” First, I made him apologize for all that hollering cuz neither of us should feel comfortable raising their voice to the other. Second, I reminded him that it was I who called him last and he said he was gonna call back and never did. That's not the same thing.
So what does he do? Start crying. Nope, not kidding. Talking about we don't know what he's been through and it's like we forgot he was homeless. Nope sir. We didn't forget. It's just a mute point. This was about quote unquote his daughter. It had absolutely nothing to do with his woes… Which he chose, mind you. (I'm never gonna stop pointing out that he chose to move out. It was an active choice.) I was disgusted. I know I'm probably overexaggerating but to me, for me, IT'S MY OPINION, the discussion wasn't about him so it shouldn't have turned into his CHOSEN problems. I have always hated when people did stuff like that… And then the crying. Brush, whatchu crying for? I should be the one sobbing. He left us high and dry and is now looking for sympathy. I didn't fold nor did the kids suffer because of his abandonment of us. He should be smiling knowing that anytime he got locked up, it had nothing to do with child support.
Stop all that damn crying. It's just gross. *sighs* Laurynn’s graduation is next Tuesday at 9. Imma hafta miss it cuz Mo’s is next Friday at 8:30. I bought her something to think of me so that she would know I care.
Guess who I'm looking at?
^Nelly. (She sent me this on Mother's Day) Which reminds me…
^Her senior quote is so beautiful. I've been clapping a little extra for her cuz I know Brittney would be right here if she could. She loved her kids. I miss how things were. I truly do… So yes, Imma clap a little extra. I know she's smiling right now proud and she has every right to be.
All these kids are going to do great things. I can feel it.
Bruh, I'm all teary eyed now. Nelly chose pics of her and Brittney and one of Mo's pics was of her and Cinque for their graduation packages. I knew Nelly was going to but I didn't see Mo's coming. Nathaniel was the cutest little baby.
I love all these kids. I dunno how I, of all people, landed in a space where I welcome so many that didn't come from me but here we are.
I'm so proud of them.

PS: This chick who started here this week looks almost exactly like Blanca from Pose. When I tell you I saw her and was like: 😍😍😍 She's also very fast so I'm in heaven. Gah, I hope she doesn't quit cuz Lily said she has a 2nd job. Bruh, I can't never have anything nice 😩😩😩
