Heading down the stairs this morning--I lost my footing and dropped my baby. I'm still in shock--he cried for 30 minutes and I cried for an hour and thirty minutes. He's fine--but I swear--he aint' say this--but the look on Shawn's face made me fell like he thinks I did it on purpose or something...   more »

A lot of folks don’t understand Lisa Nowack, the female astronaut who drove from Houston to Florida in a diaper to confront her boyfriend’s “other woman” in a fit of heated rage.  I do! I don’t think she’s crazy at all; in fact, she’s brilliant and I like her style.

I’m no rocket scientist, but like my girl Lisa, I’m a stalker. Shucks, I even wrote a book about it: "Crazy is as crazy does--a stalker's guide to catching and keeping your man (cause you really don't want him to go anywhere)".   more »

Now he knows what I been going through! Shawn had to keep the baby for 12-hours while I pulled a long shift at work. When I got home, Andrew had beaten his daddy to a pulp--mentally and physically. I remember last week Shawn came home from work and ask me: "So, what do you do all day that you can't keep your hair combed?" Now he KNOWS!   more »

After a long day of shoveling 2-feet of snow, paying all the bills including the mortgage and working 10-hours without a lunch break, I told Shawn how much I appreciated him for being a good husband. His response? "Hell, I want a husband. I need somebody to help me out!"   more »

We were riding to a party downtown last weekend when I heard a Betty Wright song--I've been singing that damn "Don't Blame Mister Charlie" song for 20 years and her lyrics shaped my relationships--but I just realized--after all this time--she was way off base--not only did Mister Charlie need to be blamed--he needed his a$$ whooped!   more »

is like finding a needle in a haystack. I been on a scavenger hunt looking for my people... and the only one I could locate was Kevin Garnett. So I've quickly had to adapt to the "white folks" way of life...   more »

I’m typing with one hand, ’cause the other hand is holding an eight-ounce bottle of formula. My son Andrew doesn’t care about deadlines. I’m a stay-at-home mom and part-time comedian, but nothing humorous is going on right now - motherhood ain’t no joke. I ain’t had a bath in five days, can’t remember the last time I was able to brush my teeth, and my feet are so crusty, when I went to bed the other night, my husband Shawn thought I had on socks.   more »

You ever go to a single guy's house for a pool party or a friendly 'get together'? There are always a few girls in the kitchen--with their shoes off--wiping down counters--picking up drinks--keeping the house clean! We call 'em "Wipe Down Girls"--and only one will be left standing when the scent of Clorox clears. That my friends is the one who went from successful wipe down girl to housewife! (Note to Shawn: That would be ME!)   more »

We just couldn't wait any loner--my momma said to hold off until he turned a year old--but Andrew's hair was was longer than mine. And he had the nerve to be "tender headed". It was time to go ahead and shave off that hair--heck--it was so much hair left when we were done--I made me a ponytail weave out of it. I wore it to church on Sunday!
