So my aunt(the cool one) sent out a text about having Thanksgiving at my grandmother's house. I've yet to respond, because I'm not going, have no plans on going, and my son won't be going. One thing I didn't foresee was that my cousins aren't going either, well I knew they weren't gonna go if I didn't go. That's just how we roll though. We are doing turkey day here, here then taking the kids to look at Christmas lights. That weekend, I will bring Ezzie to his great gramma Liz's house again so he can see his cousins and family from Cali. It should be fun. I'm aware that I may go over there on Thanksgiving for a little bit, but that is undecided at this point.

I'm supposed to be writing a paper comparing and contrasting Piaget and Vygotsky's view's on cognitive development. But my stupid textbook won't load, ugh and I don't want to print it out cause that's a lot of ink. A TON OF INK. I think my off week starts the week of my birthday, which will be awesome. I'm thinking a new tattoo, its been a few years. But I'd be perfectly content to spend the day with Ez and Babe.

This class is pretty okay. I'm not down with all the extreme terminology but its really interesting to see how our brains begin to develop from the womb. Cool shit.

I suppose I should get off here. Finish my paper. Cook dinner. Take shorty to the park. bleeeeeh I want to go to the Children's Museum. My friend is in town and her daughter loves that place. We'll see. Maybe I will get babe to come too. He might enjoy it. Oye! I got sucked into that show Pretty Little Liars, omg white folks kill me the way they let their kids talk to them. If I talked to my mom like they do on this show, I wouldn't be here right now. I would say its just dramatize for television, but I have friends who speak to their parents that way. Mind boggling I swear!!!!

Toots.

Wait, I live here don't I?

So today I read an article in the Washington Post entitled " My white neighbor thought I was breaking into my own apartment. Nineteen cops showed up." By Fay Wells. I am utterly disgusted by the actions of the Santa Monica Police Department.  She locked herself out of her apartment on the way to a soccer game, and called a locksmith to let her in. Her neighbor called the cops, because obviously SHE WAS BREAKING INTO HER APARTMENT.

I've NEVER known a burglar to CALL A LOCKSMITH. Are you freaking serious?? Like bruh, go get your life. Bye, we are waiting! Furthermore this woman now has phobias about cops. Cops who are supposed to keep us safe, yet held a gun to her face and yanked an unarmed woman out of her apartment.  Why did they need NINETEEN cops for a burglary call? When my neighbors were being burglarized they only got two squad cars. I guess when the 911 call says that a brown person is breaking in somewhere you need more cops.

This is the world we are living in. A world were the murder of black men, women, and children is justified by not only the media, but by the police departments. A world where a traffic stop turns into a rally and a hash tag real quick. A world where white kids can issue threats at Mizzou to black college students and have the teachers disregard it. A world where no matter how old a black child is, they are still a freaking adult. A world where you can have a white cop using aggressive physical behavior against an unarmed black student on film, and still you whack jobs try to justify it.

This is what we see everyday on the news. It makes me fucking sick. Its bad enough when you have to deal with backbiting family members, but to have to be afraid and unsafe in your own home? That is the worst. I'm already apprehensive about moving to another predominately white neighborhood but this just makes it worse.

Its just so depressing.

Boopity Boop Boop

I've been so busy its ridiculous. I had a wonderful week off classes and now I'm back in the swing of things. Spent Veteran's Day with babe, watching the BBC and the Weather Channel. Intelligent men are just so damn sexy. We are going to family gathering this weekend, looking forward to it. We are bringing both the kids so that should be eventful.

Planning Turkey day dinner and the annual house hopping. I only ever eat my own house but I bring the baby to his families houses so we can spend some time with them as well. I'm so excited my cousin is back, cause he's gonna be cooking hahaha.

My sister is in town. I've missed her so much! I'm praying she gets this job she interviewed for so she can come home. I hate her being so far away from us. She was over yesterday and Ezra was just in heaven haha. He kept calling her auntie, auntie shay melts my heart. We are going to lunch tomorrow with her and her fiancé. Praying and crossing my fingers she gets the job.

I had several enlightened conversations the past two weeks. One thing that continues to stick out, is that God places people in your life to fulfil the needs that are lacking. Another thing that still sticks out is that I was blessed with my parents. They aren't perfect by any means but we always have each other's backs, and not everyone is that fortunate to have a relationship with their parents.

I have one more paper to write tomorrow so I can spend Sunday with my family and watch the walking dead. I still can't believe its been like two freaking weeks and they are still jerking us around about Glenn. Like is that man dead or what?? Inquiring minds WANT TO KNOW. LIKE TWO WEEKS AGO.

I've been up since five SO I'm going to take my behind to bed. Super tired I am.
