First Night Away

So, Vincent is 10 months as you all know and he’s been with Andy and myself for pretty much all of that time. He has his home based daycare that he goes to for a couple days out of the week and we visit friends and family of course. Now typically, he’s spent the night with me by his godmother and also by my late grandmothers home. But I’ve never spent the night away from him and his dad.

Welll, Andy and Vincent went to spend time at Andy’s second house in Brooklyn; Vincent’s godfather and one of his grandma’s. So guess who was home alone in Jersey? This lady right here. Weird doesn’t even begin to explain the feeling I had lol. It was definitely needed though. I cooked the night before so I didn’t need to cook again. I straightened up the apartment that morning, so another check. I did do a load of laundry and I mopped the entire apartment that day because 1. We just had some work done and I hadn’t been able to mop up after the work men. 2. My mop broke :-( [I loved that mop] and I was finally able to get a new one from one of my favorite discount stores Lot Less Discounts. Yay!

After all of that, I sat down at my kitchen table and journaled and listened to Sarah Jakes Roberts on The Potter’s One LA live broadcast.

Oh! Your girl finally got her eyebrows done again too guys! Loll I’m getting my groove back. *does a dance* I’ve never been super crazy about having my nails and feet done all of the time; granted I feel like that could be changing soon. But my eyebrows? As long as my eyebrows are done, I feel like THAT woman! Loll

I’ve always had super thick eyebrows courtesy of my dad. I grew up with my aunts and god mommy always smoothing them down and making them neater. But it wasn’t until my aunt and cousin took me to get them done for the first time at 14 that I truly appreciated the awesomeness of my brows. Thick brows still weren’t a thing back then either but they were slowly working their way in :-) [Gosh, that sounded & made me feel old smh lol]

All that to say, this post is because I miss both of my guys dearly. But I definitely needed those few hours to myself. I needed to do the mopping and laundry that is more difficult to do with Vincent around. I needed to just sit, relax and not think too much about anything else. Self care is truly important for everyone and especially us women who are trying to get it all done and keep things together.

I wasn’t expecting their trip to turn into an overnight thing lol but I’m okay! Thanks babe for the well needed break. Xoxo
