When Questioning Goes Horribly WRONG

I saw a former student sitting alone looking down. I asked what was wrong. (Mistake! I was hoping he was waiting to go to the restroom or was just sad...but that would've been easier than the sh!tstorm that followed.)
"I got put out by Mr. Blank because he said I was-"

Another adult then jumps in...
He continues to explain himself. I feel bad that I even asked and attempted to address the matter. 
"You've been working so hard to do better. Don't make bad decisions. Mom has been supportive. You don't want to embarrass her or yourself after you try and do right then make a bad decision that changes what you're working towards." I say.
Immediately another adult jumps in, followed by another adult addition, which only heightens the situation and consequently antagonized the situation. 

"I know what I'm talking about...(the student goes on a tangent demonstrating what he did explaining his two uncles whom were in the army do it and he was doing it too..."

The adults disagree.
He BLOWS up! 
Next thing I know he's being suspended for banging on the walls, turning over tables, and hollering obscenities as he paces the halls like a rabid dog having stare-offs with the teachers.

Principal Certified

FINALLY!!
I passed the certification exam in July, graduated in August, (thought I had) applied for the updated certificate in August, called, clowned, emailed, fussed, and presented receipts of (what I thought I had) applied for and now FINALLY my credentials are added to my certificate!!
I am certified to be a principal.
...it only took Lamar University and the state of Texas Board of Education eight months and my mouth to get it expedited in one day after they told me six to eight weeks...and I want to thank them! LOL Certifications

2017 Observation

The world we live in has people so disingenuous as it comes to their indiscretions and wrong-doings. Most people expect you to "take them as they are" quickly "forgive and forget" or simply "get over it" as they continue to make bad decisions in life and coincidentally affect you with their mistakes, mishaps, misconception, or misconduct.
Now a days there is no true accountability for actions. There is no remorse for bad behavior. Very seldom is there acknowledgement on the behalf of the transgressor.
The apparent lack of restitution or restoration for violations of any sort has left those of us with actual consciences to feel jaded.
When did this begin, you ask? How did this behavior start? Who's doing these things?
Sit back.

Observe.

Certain groups of people feel as if they can do whatever to whomever and live however and then make excuses to justify their circumstances. Play victim. Become cowards searching for easy ways out.

If I had the answers to the above questions  I think I'd have hit gold! But...I don't know, I can't say, but I know it's becoming an increasingly prevalent culture.

My Greatest Accomplishment Thus Far

Khloe Nichole Allen is my greatest accomplishment thus far. She's such a SWEETHEART!! I'm in awe of her and totally obsessed! All the kicking, punching, stretching, bedrest, gestational hypertension, 13 hours of labor and 20 minutes of 4 full pushes to deliver is nothing compared to spending my days with her!
My second greatest accomplishment so far:

Lort it's difficult producing this liquid gold but I'm doing it! (Breastfeeding blog coming soon)

As The World Turns (In Real Life) Episode 8

"Contact me if you'd like to talk woman to woman."
"I feel the need to clear my name of any lies spread about me."
"I don't bother anybody."
"I know (x, y or z) is about to happen. I'm shocked and thought you should know (a, b, and c)"
"If you know (said name's) wife please let her know that her husband has a mistress."

I could go on and on with the different scenarios found in the inboxes of me and or people I know; perhaps yourself, but for the purposes of this blog I think five real life examples is sufficient.
Let's begin by addressing the biggest elephant in the room...more than likely if you have to attempt correspondence with someone per their inbox on social media that they won't see for months and in some cases years because that isn't there apparent form of social contact with "friends" you are way down the totem pole of importance or relevance to their life. You could possibly be having an accurate and beneficial conversation BUT with the WRONG person. Try talking to the person you believe has a reason to discuss you. Try speaking to the person that actually wronged or addressed you in the first place. If you've NEVER been in contact concerning a particular issue that is obviously disturbing you; seek the closure you need from the person you're actually in disarray with and not the person that has no personal personal investment in you. Speaking woman to woman will not change your situation. It only airs your dirty laundry and what doesn't come out in the wash WILL come out in the rinse. It's best to just go about your business and be more productive in other facets of life. Try a woman's group or some other social organization geared towards women.

To clear your names insinuates that you've even been discussed. *Newsflash* Entering someone's inbox gives you a false sense of self-importance. You've never been discussed and in most cases don't ever need to be especially if it's a historical presence. Expect some backlash and slander when it comes to a break-up...usually from both parties...God's timing is always best and He takes great care of His children, so if you're a child of God; you're in great hands. Watch Him work and you rest your weeping eyes. They did it to Jesus, what makes you so special?
The above mentioned goes for two through four. It could also go along with number five.

Obviously a mistress likes her role or she wouldn't be a mistress knowing the man has a wife or vice versa. Know your role and stay out of it! The mistress isn't the one speaking up...you are. Offer positive and inspiring messages to your friend because they are obviously lost, sad, and pathetic. Admonish your friend for their bad behavior instead of spreading their bad behavior to other people. All you do is help to spread negativity and you could use your power for good over evil!

That's all for now folks! I'm sure my inbox will blow up once again...it always does when folks think you're writing about them. Keep my episodes coming though...they give me great inspiration! Just know I don't have messenger so you won't get a response!
Toodles!

I's Married Now

I think everyone (well, my friends) waits to say the hilarious, made famous, line of Shug Avery after being pronounced husband and wife.  "I's married now!" 
Your soul-mate has arrived, your Love has finally come along, God has sent your counter-part so that, as a woman, you can begin to be a help-mate.  You fulfill a prophecy. 
I could go on and on about the sanctity and proclamation of marriage.  As a "single girl" I wrote and created open discussions about the joys, fun, trials, and mishaps of dating while now as a married woman I'll, no doubt, write and create open discussions about the joys, fun, trials, and mishaps of sharing my life with another person...for ever...at least in front of our family, friends, and God we said until death do us part. 
...Let us bow for a moment of prayer NOW...Forever is a long time.  Forever also is a short time.  It all depends on perspective.  That's precisely why prayer is required. 



2016

Despite all the humanly losses we had during 2016 the year was full of transition. TRANSITIONS. Change. Movement. I had a great year. It was FULL of transitions for me. I gained a husband, we bought a home, and we're going to welcome a baby girl into the world! This time last year I wouldn't have guessed it or even imagined where I am today...in this moment. I'm a wife AND a mom! Wow O_o Time passes and things evolve, and transition whether you're rehearsed or not!
Be grateful you're still in the land of the living in 2017. You get another day to get it right. Another day to make a right decision. Another chance at happiness. Another chance to forgive. Another opportunity to accomplish something. Another moment to praise, thank, and worship God.
Happy New Year!
2017 has more in store...let's try and be positive as we enter and travel through the journey!
