Idol Finale....yay!!

Ok Sista's! Tonight is the night we have all been waiting for.....the season Finale of Idol! I can't wait to hear their song choices. I hope they got to choose their own songs. Looking foward to see who is performing. The word is that Carrie Underwood and Britney are both singing tonight. Not together of course, but both are suppose to perform. The truth be said....I love both Adam and Chris, they both deserve to be there. I think Adam has totally mad vocals, but I like Chris because he is so real and vulnerable with his songs. Either way we win because they are both great and they both will have major record deals anyway. I hope all of the AI Cast comes back to sing tonight! The only person I will say that gets totally on my last nerve is......Tatiana....you remember the girl that laughs hysterically and complained alot. She also would beg the judges unmercifully to put her through whenever she had the chance. I hope you all enjoy tonights show and have some fun chatting with your BFF's! Enjoy! Debi

Hey to you Sista's! All 8 of you! Is is just me of shouldn't things be winding down in the last couple of weeks of school? I don't think I've ever been busier! It's like wait....is school getting out soon and shouldn't the kids just be chillin. Not! Finals are coming up for Boo and this week is Teacher's Appreciation Week at Little Bon's school. I will have to admit her school has tamed things down a bit for that. That was always my favorite week and now everybody's complained that it's gotten way out of hand...and boom we're not supposed to spoil the teachers. BOO HOO! It's always one or two mom's that complain because they have three plus children in the academy and they don't wan't to send in more than $2 for each kid. Well this is what I have to say about that.......if you are that cheap...take your kids out of private school and put them in public and PUT THE SHUT TO THE UP. Now everybody has to follow all these rules and not send stuff in. Well...Needless to say that doesn't set well with me so on Friday.....Little Bon's teachers are getting spoiled. O Yes they are! Whew....I feel much better now! I think that ALL Teachers are under paid for what they do. I seriously don't know how they manage their time all day. I would get so sidetracked. I would need totally for Jesus to take the wheel....more than once. I worked the lunch room one time and I never went back. But I do love this week and I feel all the teachers deserve to have a great week! Idol totally rocked tonight and let's just say....my guy Adam will be in the FINALS I'm sure.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY.....SISTA'S!

Hello Sista's! Happy Mother's Day to You! I hope you all get to spend the day however with whoever you want....hopefully with your sweet babies! I am really really homesick and would love to be in Memphis with all my sisters and Mom today! I really could go for some of my Mama's Ham and dumplings...without a doubt! My sweet Soulmate took us all out to dinner at BoneFish tonight...for a little Bang Bang shrimp. I love that stuff...I just wished it loved me back. The kids were on there best behavior and they were dressed up so cute. My sweet soulmate told the kids they were going to play a game, of course this brings excitement to their eyes immediately. Soulmate said, " We are going around the table and tell Mama what you like about her!" Little Bon blurted out immediately, "Mama can sing so pretty!" I said, "Thank you baby!" Then it came time for my teenage son, Boo, he was totally dumbfounded actually. It was hysterical but a little embarassing...(he never gets embarassed!) He came back with something so fast....it was even funnier! He said, "There are so many things....I don't know where to start!" Quick recovery...but sincere! He's so stinkin cute! He then preceded to say...."Mom will do anything for anybody at anytime, she never stops! She does everything for us....and she's always thinking of others. This brought crocodile tears to my eyes! I will never forget the sweet words from my babies tonight and my soulmate for coming up with the idea....really scored some bonus points! I am truly blessed! I just want to tell all my friends that you all mean the world to me and I thank God everyday for family and friends! Have a blessed day with your family!Happy Mother's Day!!! Hugs to the Sista's!!

Hey to the Sista's! As promised, here is the pic of "Little Bon" as Shirley Temple at the Great American Expo at her school last week! Isn't she beautiful and seriously convincing! That would be a BIG OLE...YES! I have to admit I am a little bias! Not one to brag, but dang is she cute or what! Had a great day at the beach with some Soul Sista's yesterday. Just a little quick blog because I have a commercial to write! Hugs to you all! Debi I

Who is Mr. Linky & Where Does He Live?

Hey Sista's, What a beautiful day! It was a cool breeze tonight out here in our neck of the woods! Little Bon played with friends and the Soulmate and Boo played Lacrosse out on the golf course. One good thing about living on a golf course, your back yard seems really big. Tonight is American Idol so I have to like that! I must admit I am new to blogging, but all this tagging makes me feel like I'm not doing something that I'm suppose to be doing. Just when I figure something out it's like three days old, cuz you know like I do have a job too! Still I think it's cool to do all that stuff, I am not that confident....yet. Will have to bother some sista's to figure it out. I'm still trying to figure out, Who is the heck is Mr. Linky and where does he live? Fo Real. I read blogs and they tell me to sign up for Mr. Linky and don't forget to add this to that and the other. I seriously need to talk to Shawn!I'm ashamed of myself. I do have a great day planned. Yes tomorrow is a scheduled mental health day. I will be at the beach by 10:30 a.m. and I haven't told the soulmate or the chiren, cuz if I do, they will call me from school sick....right? Yes, I am on the downlow with that! I will get some much needed sun on some very pale parts of my body. I can relax, hide under my "brella" and take it all in. I will say that I am a little homesick for my hometown, Memphis. It never fails, in the Spring and in the fall, you can count on it like clockwork, I get homesick. Something about 4 seasons that I enjoy and miss terribly. Have a great Wednesday Sista's and change a heart, change a life, be a girlfriend today! Hugs, Debi

Can You Forgive....But Not Forget?

So what do you do when one of your BFF"s gets dissed by someone? When I say dissed, I'm not talking overlooked by not being invited to something, I mean someone literally talking smack behind your back. Is that a Christ like thing to do? That would be a Heck to the No! NOW please believe me I'm not being judgmental....just a little loyal when it comes to my friends, ya'll. You hurt my SoulSista's and you hurt ME! I don't really understand mean spirited, or jealousy because... from this SiSta....I want good things to happen to all of my BFF's! I mean....fo real! If I want it and can't have it....I'm happy for whoever gets it because I know my day is coming! Can I get an AMEN! Now, I'm taking a poll here...I need your help cuz my friend is hurting and I want to help her and give her some advice because she is really down in the dumps about it. She confronted the person who did this but it's really complicated...so any advice. Forgiveness is what's needed, but you can forgive and NOT FORGET what was said or done to you. I would like to hear some opinions. Thank you for commenting! I want my BFF happy again! hugs to all ya'll! Debi
