Sometimes I miss the good old days. I remember hovering around our one family computer with my sisters, playing games such as “Who wants to be a millionaire?” and this cool “Titanic” game. It was really fun. We always did things together all the time.

Nowadays, it’s hard to get all of us together. We each have our own lives, work, and things to do. When one sister is free, the other isn’t, etc. It’s just so blah nowadays.

Even though we don’t get a chance to hang out everyday together, we talk to each other on the phone all the time. So it’s not like we are missing anything really.

From time to time, I start thinking about when I was in the hospital for the birth of my son. They put this little medical id bracelet on him with his name. I had something similar too.

Oh the memories…his first cry and my first glance at him in the flesh. The memories are so personal and I cherish them always. It’s crazy how after you bring another life into this world, your whole life changes. I can’t imagine him not being in my life.

His smell, his cry, his eyes…everything about him makes me realize how incredible this world really is

I’m a chick who loves to shop. For me it’s all about the brand names and designer jewelry. My purses - only Rocawear. My clothes - only the best. And everything else has to be top notch and in style.

I guess you can call me a materialistic girl. I can’t help but be one. We live in a world where it’s all about brand names and what you wear. I know…how sad. But think about it…how much “designer” or “brand” items do you own? I’m sure you have plenty yourself without even noticing it (that included Nike and Adidas too).

June is fast approaching. What does that mean? It means that our lease it up for our apartment. We actually want to move into a duplex or some sorts instead of another apartment in an apartment building.

There’s nothing wrong with apartments, but we need more room. We need a bedroom that is for our son only because there is so much baby toys everywhere.

We also want to buy new furniture and even maybe a memory foam mattress for our bedroom. There’s just so many things we want to get except when it comes down to it, how can we afford it. The only one bringing in the dough is my hubby. I’m still working on getting my diploma, plus we are raising a baby which that itself takes a lot of the money for formula and diapers.

Hum…I think I need a part time job or something.

Being still a teenager, I know way too many who are just out of control with their drug habits. Way too many times I’ve seen people passed out because of their drug use. It’s really quite upsetting.

How can you do that to your own body? Really…I mean it’s just not healthy no matter how good it makes you feel for that short little while. That’s what I never understood about some of my friends.

Like, get yourself together and look forward towards your future. There are plenty of drug rehabs facilities that can help you get clean and start a new life.

Thank goodness I never went that route. There’s no way I’d let myself get to that point especially after having a son and knowing how important I am in his life.
