24 Things That Annoy Me

In a previous post I spoke about People Who Annoy Me. In this post I will speak about several things that have annoyed me. The list below is comprised of things I have encountered daily as well as over time.

Bugs...All of them .
People who wait to get to the turnstile to look for their metrocard.
People who do not say please or thank you.
When someone who is not smelling so fresh stands in front of or near me.
When male family members and/or friends leave the toilet seat up.
People who cannot think for themselves.
Parents who only feed their children fast food. #learntocook
Parents who do not keep their promises
People who concoct elaborates stories in their minds and they believe they are true.
When I say Good Morning and the occupants in the room do not respond.
Being accused of something I did not do.
When someone lies to me (especially about something minor).
People who do not take responsibility for themselves, their actions or the lives they help create.
Bicycle/Bike lanes. If I am required to have insurance, bicyclists should also have insurance.
People who tailgate. This also includes walkers.
People who do not try doing things on their own before they ask for help or say they can't do it. How do you know you cannot do something if you did not try?
It is annoying when I return someone's call within 2 minutes and the phone goes to voicemail. As soon as I disconnect the call the person decides to call back. Really! I do not have time to play phone tag with you.
When a product is finished and no one in the house says anything until I decide to eat or use the products.
When driver blow their horns and the light just turned green.
Nosey people (neighbors, family members, etc)
Injustice
Women with these thick, jet black eyebrows that go all the way up to the middle of their forehead.
When someone asks me whats wrong after I have said several times nothing was wrong.
Speaking in another language during office hours.#veryrude

Your Child Is LGBT..It's Not The End Of The World!

I am not a parent of a Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual or Transgender (LGBT) child, so I cannot say I understand what a parent of a LGBT child is going through. However, I have friends and family members who are and have children who are LGB so I can relate to a certain degree. Growing up I had friends who were gay and who were lesbians. A few of them told me and a few of them hid it from me. Why? I have no idea. What they failed to realize was I already knew, but I wanted them to tell me on their own. It is on no account painless for mothers and fathers to find out that their son or daughter is a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. Nor is it any easier for the child to tell their mother, father, friends or other family members that they are or may be a lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender. I remember the day someone very close to me told me he was attracted to guys. He was so nervous. As he began to speak, he started stuttering and sweating bullets. After he finished speaking I did no

A Prayer for My Brown Girls

One of my prayers for my daughter's is that God continues to guide them as they navigate through life. I pray that they will be surrounded by and interact with like minded individuals. I pray they really know and understand that the decisions they make today not only will have impact today or tomorrow but also in the future. I pray that God continues to open doors, the right doors for them as well as close the wrong ones. I ask God to protect them from anyone who seeks to do harm unto them. Protect them for hurt, harm and dangers known and unknown. I pray that they always put their faith and trust in him. Continue to strive for greatness and do their best in all that they do. “When you have faith in God, you don’t have to worry about the future. You just know it’s all in His hands. You just go to and do your best.” -unknown

What is happening to her? Puberty!

Today, our kids are exposed to so much information. Unfortunately, not all information is true and nor is the information from credible sources. However, discussions such as puberty among other topics should occur with the parents. Puberty is a very difficult stage for girls, boys and the family. They are very temperamental and often feel insecure. So as parents, it is our responsibility to reassure them that the changes they are going through emotionally, mentally and physically are normal. Puberty has reared its ugly head in my home. You would think I would be prepared since I have experienced this with my older daughter. The truth is I am prepared. However, I was not expecting it to happen so quickly. I have noticed kids are experiencing puberty a lot faster than in prior generations. Sadly, this has a lot to do with the meat and dairy. There are a lot of chemicals in our food and as a result of that, it is making our children develop a lot faster. As an adult, I do not recal
