Lord Help Me Please......

....I have a 14 yr old in the house!!!!!

As most of you may or may not know....my 14 yr old little sister now lives with me. To say the least.....it's a big adjustment!! Its a tad different from having a regular roommate as I have to watch my behavior and think of the example Im setting forth.

My porn?.......Hidden away in a shoe box in my room.

Walking around naked?.........Only in my bedroom....with my door closed. No longer can I stroll to the bathroom or to the frig ass naked as I did in the past. Like I said......BIIIIIIIIG adjustment.

And LAWDJEEZUS dont get me started on the phone! I dont have a house phone. I was cool w/o it. But that shit is finsta change!!!!! I cant tell yall how many times she has returned my celly to me with a dead battery. Still dont know what the hell 14yrs got to talk about for hours on end.

But all that is little stuff though. The thing that is gonna drive me up the wall and speed my thinning hair process is MUSIC of all things. If I fucking hear Chris Brown, Kelis, Ne-Yo, Dem Franchise Boys, Young Joc or anything else that 106 and Park plays repeatedly just one more damn time........Im gon hurl myself out of my 10th floor window!

Were we like this when we were 14? Did we listen to the same 8 songs everyday all day and were we content with it? Yall....me and the child had a convo about music that went something like this.......

Me : You know it's alot more music out there than what they play on BET and the radio Angela.

Angela : Well it must not be good. 'cuz if it was good, it would be on BET and the radio!

Me : (mumbling a prayer to myself)
LordPleaseGiveMeTheStrengthToWorkWithAndEnlightenThisPoorChild....

*sigh*

She starts high school in the fall.

*double sigh*

How much blog material yall think Imma get outta this journey?

Boycotts BET<----Reese

AND YES, we WERE this annoying at 14, we just didn't realize it because we were... uhhh 14.. LOL
I used to watch BET, but back then they played the NOW classics which we revere so close to our hearts... plus, there was no freaking 106 N Park.. we had Donnie Simpson.. Video Soul (ahhh the good ole days)

either way, u will have to INVEST in a HOME phone and maybe a 2 bedroom.. LOL


and I will hold u close in my heart.. while I walk around buck naked in my apartment ALONE.

P.S. Wait until u CATCH the FIRST boy running down the hall.. hehe
I will pray for you Teej.

Your own live-in muse, huh? No more writer's block for you. As a matter of fact, you could probably start some kind of periodical.

"When we were in High School, did we...?"

OH-MY-GOODNESS! I feel you! I feel you! Ever since I took my "daughter" in (18 years old) my home life has drastically changed!

...I had to change home tele companies so I could get a call in edgewise.
...how do you text, talk on the phone, IM, AND watch TV at the same time but can't remember to take out the trash?!
...food disappears before I can lock the door coming in from the grocery store.
...who knew BET had programming 24/7?!
...why are there clothes EVERY-F***ING WHERE!
...can you pick up and clean your bathroom, PLEASE!
...Kanye is not the 2nd coming.
...it's my house, I should be able to walk around half or completely nekkid!
...well if you knocked before you came in you might not have seen my vibrator on the bed.

I could go on but she moves into her college dorm on the 12th. I think if I renew my prescription for valium I might be able to make it.
