Momma's Big Boy

Do they ever stop being your baby? NOPE
Do I mind? NOPE
Mommas Boys aren't bad to have when momma knows how to let go.

What MY Momma and Aunties DIDNT tell me

   



         I love being in my 40's!!!! I am more confident . My blog is naturalsince40.blogspot.com!! The 40's are the new 40's and I say that because the only good thing that came out of my 20's were my son's . The best thing for me being in my 30's were them being the bridge to my  40's!! Big ups to my 40's , BUT THERE IS A FEW THINGS I DISCOVERED OR UNCOVERED!!!!!
   
      I approached my 40's and my precious jewels I have learned to appreciate.   My momma and auntie's  didn't tell me new smells show up????!!!!! Now what do I mean? Everything I eat !! some how the aroma seems to seep out of some part of me!!! My Aunt she has always been holistic my whole life wasn't even phased at my shock.!! Why does everything I eat seem to deodorize my lady parts??????? Oh my goodness.  I eat a curry based meal every day, why? because it has turmeric and cinnamon which are anti inflammatory and reduces the aging pains that sometimes arrive as we gracefully become more distinguished.  I only like the aroma as I eat it not the stench as it leaves!!!!!!! Yikes!!!!!
 
      Well ladies the next time you tinkle sniff, lol. Especially the healthy eaters  !!! Was that asparagus? was that curry or coriander ? Juicers know what I'm talking about lol.

The first time I went to "hot yoga" a class room for yoga set to be done at a 90 degree temp.  I first asked the person who took me what did I do to offend her that she  would torture me like that? I was in child pose so much that you would have thought I was taking a nap lol. Once the class was over I smelt like who done it and why???? it was atrocious!! I'm a glutton for punishment at times and went back again.  I ate strawberries and drank water before I went back because if what I eat is going to come out of my pours it better be sweet. WELL I smelt better but far from sweet.

        There isn't enough soap and water or powder that can help.

My Mom's pearl of wisdom on marriage: " If they do something you dont like before marriage , keep in minD after marriage it gets worse!!!!" REALLY???? AWE MAN!!

1French fry

I went to McDonalds drive through and asked for one French fry. The girl said, one small fry,I said no one French fry. She said a small fry. Now what wasn't clear?I wanted one French fry . My youngest son said MOM ITS NOT FUNNY CUT IT OUT!!!!I thought it was hilarious!!! Teenagers are such buzz kills!! Lol

Unspoken bond

        I have noticed that there is an unspoken bond amongst the sisters who wear their hair natural. I'm elated when I'm walking past and we give eye contact then we  smile at each other and even sometimes say Hi. Why? would this make me elated well here is the reason. I work for corporate America and to be natural is not the ideal look for a woman looking to climb the power wall. The men are a  challenge but the women are the least to accept you. Now am I saying all women NO!!!!!! but as I walk the long cold halls of the office space. I experience the look!!. What look is that? the up and down head to toe maybe I have a bugar in my nose or I smell look. You all know what I'm talking about. I was business casual  that day blazer, linen shirt, A-line skirt, snake skin heels.  BAM!!! by the time I got to my destination, if I were a weak person about who I am!!! I  would have been crushed. Women of many colors were giving me the boo boo look. It isn't just women of color who do that even though its stereo typed that we do. I was like wow do I smell I did shower this morning!!!!
          I was stopped by one young lady , Natural hair bright red lipstick she had on strips and poka dots I loved  her  style!! such an individual!!  she smile and walked up to me and began conversed with me about an up coming event out of the clear blue. I realized my soap and deodorant was still working it wasn't me it was the undeniable , competitive , ingrained  unrealized snarf snarf women have with other woman. Sad but true. As my day went on the Naturals smiled and spoke and the Straights( permed, relaxed whatever) avoided eye contact. How crazy is  that?????  Finally at the end of the day another Natural approached me and she was locked we spoke about the venue that was this weekend and I wasn't going to be able to make. She said I wish your were I wanted you to meet my daughter. The sister hood bond is so amazing with the Naturals!!! the straights have their right to be straight but catch the wave!!! I'm free being just me  Natural and All!!!!
