the adventures of pamalicious

Good morning to anyone who is trolling around the internet!  I know this is going to be a slow week, but I’m around!

Well not a lot today.  Getting ready to take Mini-me to the airport.  Ya’ll know that this is her visit Grandma’s time of year.  Don’t know how long as she get older this whole 2 weeks thing is gonna last, but right now - it’s on and poppin!

Ya’ll have a good day. 

UPDATE:  9:14pm  Mini-me is safely at her G-moms LET THE FREAKFEST WINTER 2007 BEGIN!!!!

As the year winds down, I wanted to have my year in review just kinda out there without a lot of obvious fanfare that this is years end.  To begin the series of wrap up’s I’d like to being with my child.

Mini-me Age 11

The other day, mini-me bounded down the steps fully dressed. I looked at her and asked aloud where was she going at 8pm on a school night. She was trying on clothes for the next day, complete with accompanying jewelry and needed her sneakers. As I watched her go back upstairs my heart began pounding and my eyes welled up. Caun asked what was wrong and I told him, "it just dawned on me that in 750 or so days, I’m gonna be having that conversation because she WILL be on her way out the door with friends and/or GASP a boy" - all of a sudden I saw my child as the budding woman she is becoming.

As I look back over the events of this past year, I thought about Mini-me and how my life has affected hers. I try to make it a point to make sure I’m listening and not only taking care of her physically, but emotionally as well.  I don’t want my moves as an adult to affect her negatively and as a child sometimes that can happen.  My childhood had a lot of ‘moves that benefited adults, but left us confused and scared’ - I didn’t want that for her.  I wanted to maintain the right to make moves and decisions in the best interest of both she and I, but not forget about her and her emotional well-being.

This has definately been a day for that thing called the J-O-B.  I must I must find my IT.  I know I know writing is one of them, but that don’t get my shit out of layaway, lol  Anyhoo - -  

Today was career day.  Goddess had forbade Caun and I from attending as per usual (rollin eyes) so I didn’t think anything of it.  Imagine my surprise when this walked down the steps this morning:

Hey folks!  I took the time to finally hook up the scanner and I wanted to try it out.  I thought a cool way to do that would be to scan in these pictures Goddess did of herself via a Clairol Site (sorry I don’t know the specific site).  It gave her an opportunity to adorn her head with all kinds of hair styles.
