[Music]
oh my gosh it has already been such a
long morning all he had to run out this
morning and go and do some business so I
have been home with the kids and I'm
trying to make a shopping list which is
never easy when you've got kids around
because if you're anything like me you
have got to keep 100% focus on what
you're doing
Omar put those away please thank you you
have to keep focused or on the list is
gonna be everything on it that you're
not wanting to buy so I pulled up my
laptop and got my Pinterest pulled up
okay hold on just a minute
I got my Pinterest pulled up and got
some good ideas for some dinners for the
kids for easy dinners because if there's
nights we're always gonna have to be
later then I can just eat salad
something easy for myself and then make
them you know something good but they're
I mean they'll eat salad actually not
Jeremiah but the babies will eat salad
but I you know I want to cook them some
food so I got them some stuff on the
list to make like the hot dogs wrapped
in I saw with some cheese and another
one is to use croissants again and then
you put pepperoni and a string cheese in
it so it's kind of like uh I don't
really know how you would describe it
but kind of like a pizza roll in a way
and then of course that goes on the list
because those are one of their favorites
and mutton and some good snacks for them
yes daddy's home he's gonna come pick us
up now we're off to Portland we have to
go run an errand up there so
we were just kind of waiting for him to
get home so we can go and take off and
do that good morning I hope that you
guys are having a great start to your
guys this morning it's been it's been
quiet here today I am really really
really tired I swear I did not sleep
last night for nothing so I was up most
of the night and then had to get up
early this morning to make sure Jeremiah
was awake for school and I just kept
dozing off my chair I just was like do I
have to get up so but once daddy daddy
left dying I had to get up because my
our trust these two for nuttin did not
have some type of viewing and they
decided to get into my hutch which they
know is a no-no and they got ahold of
one of my roosters and broke it and I
have my fitbit over here charging
because starting tomorrow I'm gonna
start wearing not again because I like
how it keeps me accountable - lets not
play with that please on the drive up
there because I am so sleepy I'm just
tired
I just want to crash anyways
I'm gonna jump off really quick and get
their shoes on them and get them ready

of it is all in Arabic but he always
comes out with like oh yeah so like it

cool like when I went to Egypt I'll
never forget that we ate at a couple
fast food places one was Pizza Hut and
then and you guys

that's where I ate is the best pizza I
have ever tasted and but they're so
expensive that it was like oh when we
wanted to eat there and then we also ate
from KFC to this day you guys
I saved the ham YP that they give
because it's got at the KFC logo and
then and then it has the Arabic I was

towards Salem so I'm sure we're gonna
hit some traffic around Wilsonville good
time so will signals always our our
traffic city but we're gonna head back
towards Salem and get home I am ready to
go home
I'm thinking of maybe doing a redo on my
nails tonight since I have nothing else
to do but a couple you guys wanted to
see step by step so I was thinking about
taking a little bit of time for myself
and doing something like that but it
just depends on what Ollie has on the
agenda first work tonight so anyways I
will check with you guys when we get
home because it's gonna be a lot of
traffic and mystery lady back there that

anyways okay so as you guys seen I did
do my nails tonight again on the second
these have this yet I don't know what
happened but I guess when I pushed
record and my phone decided to go to
sleep so I didn't get this band recorded
I don't know what happened so sad to say
that it was not recorded when I did it
but I'm hoping you know put it in the
garbage now but I'm hoping that you guys
got a good view of what I was doing
anyways because I think I show for the
most part I had those no polish
and now I'm destroying my full-bore
looking for them so I will have to find
them today was a very fun but long
filled tiring day especially because I
would just I have really been physically
exhausted tonight well I've been pretty
much physically exhausted for the last
week and so I am I'm ready for bed we're
just gonna have subway for dinner
tonight something simple I just I'm not
I'm not cooking tonight for sure no
that's not not that that's a joke
or a shop but Ollie was gone for a
majority of the quaint for him to come
home and cook dinner and all that cuz
it's already after seven o'clock and
when it becomes bedtime for these kids
it is bedtime tonight I am your claim
yeah yes please get down thank you
so anyways I am just going to have the
subway for dinner and then tomorrow I
told him just to give me a footlong and
I'm gonna split it in half so I'll have
six inches tonight and then tomorrow
he's gonna be gone all day tomorrow so I
told him just cinches tonight and then
tomorrow for lunch I can have the other
six inches so it will work out that way
then I feel like I got a sandwich or
something for lunch tomorrow since me
and the kids are gonna be home which I
can make them food daily
anything that I cook them but for me
it's like but for me I I need to go no I
need to go grocery shopping really bad
so I thought I was gonna do it today but
there was just no way and then I thought
it was gonna maybe get to do it tomorrow
but I'll like but I'm not gonna be able
to go grocery shopping tomorrow because
I won't take the kids out on this
weather because it is supposed to be
see the next couple of days today we had
like some severe weather which we were
here we were in Portland so we didn't
even know I seen it on the news this
evening that they were seeing that it
was like hailing and really windy that
somebody a storm watcher or something
said funnel clouds here and tornadoes
like seriously I'm just like feeling
like we're back in Wizard of Oz so I
told Ollie I'm like well God do we need
to start like making a cellar store like
those tornado safety rooms he's fair
laughing he's like no I don't think it's
that bad yet I'm like well shoot seems
like it's getting worse and worse so I
don't know but yeah it was pretty nasty
today and it's supposed to be like I
said tomorrow's supposed to be pretty
nasty
and either way around it all he has to
take the car tomorrow cuz he leaves that
six o'clock more in there ain't no way
my booty is getting up to go take him o
anywhere so I'll be without the car
anyways so we're just gonna stay home
and stay warm and toasty and probably
work on laundry because I didn't do any
laundry tonight or today at all and then
[Music]
no excuse me hey Ramadan hello no you
need to get down your beer okay then you
need to get out
[Music]
this child out of like nowhere like he
has been he's talked for a long time but
just the last like I don't know oh I'll
insert it oh I can't insert the clip
darn it because I'm not covered but he I
don't think I was covered I'll check if
I can if I can put it in I will it's a
clip of me and him today talking and he
was going on a rampage about how the
hutch is not mine
and that I need to give us her back her
book and do I understand where did you
learn your vocabulary child because I
sound just like your mother
so anyways and I just think that
tomorrow we're just gonna chill and like
I said do laundry um
ketchup want some emails cuz I've got oh
my gosh I didn't even realize I went
into my email box yesterday and roy's I
have like 1500 emails none of them are
from you guys though all the ones that I
get from you guys go into a different
imma set up to where I get them in a
different box so I automatically see
your guys's emails but um anything else
I it just goes into my regular email box
and I forget to always check it and so
yesterday when I went in I was like oh
my god so many emails so I'll probably
go through my emails reply back if there
was any replies otherwise just go and do
a big delete clean out my box
yesterday was cyber monday I didn't even
know about it until one of you guys told
me about it and luckily you guys did
because I was following the ads cuz I
really I mean even if I even if there's
ads I never follow them like I just
don't buy that it was cyber monday I
followed they out of Turin and so I
ended up getting
let's show our friends yes for me to
quack-quack with LEGOs good job okay
here you go princess girl yeah anyways
so I ended up going on
two torrid and they were having 50% off
of everything and they're like that's a
foursome in like in store online and
then it was free shipping with that so I
ended up getting two pairs of leggings
because like I was home you guys I've
been wearing the size six leggings but
they're just getting to the point where
they're getting a little bit loose like
uncomfortable oh I had to have some
authority come in and take my children
out anyways um so I ended up getting
because the size sixes have been getting
to like they're they fit me all my legs
pretty well but they're starting to like
get too big for my waist and then they
sag in my crotch area so I feel like
I've got a big Dookie in my pants oh I
told only I was like babe can I go ahead
and get a size down on my leggings and
he's like yeah that's fine
well the leggings end up being $10 you
guys $10 so they were normally 20 what
was ten ten twenty five or ten 75 so
that's awesome I mean that is awesome
and then on top of that I got a pullover
sweater which I'm really excited about I
have been looking for a pullover sweater
in four years and so this one was $45 so
I got it on sale for 2495 I think it was
so together with the sweater and the two
pairs of pants it ended up being less
than what the sweater would have been
regular price so basically I got my two
pairs of leggings for free and I got
free shipping so I didn't have to have a
ship to the store and didn't have to
deal with going and picking it up so
that was truly truly exciting I was
really excited so I did get a couple of
things off of the cyber some cyber
monday so that was truly exciting
and then I got the women within catalog
it's the holiday favorites starting at
$9.99 which for my my for my body for my
shape my size 9 and men will never be my
size but they have the most awesomest
awesomeness leggings I love these
leggings there's all these prints not
that I would get any right now because I
mean I did get just get those two black
pair that are coming so I'm not at any
rate where I want to buy some more I
just you know I truly want to you know
be as cautious as I can not just buying
clothes but just in general you know
spending money you know I I'm a spender
I really am and I've been really trying
to be more proactive with saving you
know and when I'm gonna make a purchase
asking myself ahead of time like is this
something that I need right now is we're
gonna have subway daddy's bringing a
Subway sandwich is this something that I
need is this something that you know
it's gonna benefit us right now or is it
something that can hold on until you
know later date or when we can save
money because we do budget our income
very very strictly and that's to you
know basically allow us to you know have
a savings and okay you guys need to get
off the bed please you're gonna knock my
camera over it allows us to have a
saving and it allows us to have you know
we have three children you know we have
three children that we're gonna have to
put through college we have a daughter
that's gonna eventually one day want to
get married you know one day we want to
buy our forever
you know in our dream home and those
things aren't just gonna happen because
we wish them you know it's things that
you we're gonna have to work for and for
me and oli we have had to work for
everything we have
we haven't been just given things left
and right which I'm very grateful that
we've worked for everything we have we
were just talking about that today he
said you know if somebody was to give us
a million oh no no what did I say I
don't remember how the conversation over
okay
please Jeremiah is not married please
don't don't force that one could you
please take your brother's picture and
go look at it in the living room oh
thank you do not be mean to it anyways
you do a nice row but I don't know how
the conversation went but something was
said and I said well you know if
somebody was to give us money to like
like I would never want somebody that's
what it was is I said I never would want
somebody to be able to say well because
of me they've gotten to where they're at
and I said because I have worked so hard
from the time that I that I said you
know I would never want somebody to come
back and be like well they got there
because of me because in reality I I
don't agree with paying people's away I
think that that is something that you
know you appreciate so much more when
you work base and so I'll he goes wolf
somebody wanted to give me a million
dollars I would take it he goes even if
it was a half a million dollars or
500,000 he goes I would take it and I he
goes I would definitely take him I was
like no and he's like why not he's like
if somebody wanted to gift me that much
money he's like I would definitely hands
out my hand and you know take it as a
gift and I was like okay well you're not
understanding what I'm saying I'm saying
I wouldn't want somebody to give me
something and say well you know I said
if somebody invested just say $1,000
okay and I took that thousand invested
it into my
business that I want to start I would
never want somebody to look back when I
start becoming successful and say well
she's only there because I gave her a
thousand dollars to invest in that
business because I worked my tail off to
make that business be something that is
working and something that is successful
and I've done that all my life since I
started out on my own is I've never
accepted help from people in this sense
of financial or whatever like I've
always figured it out for myself because
I never ever ever wanted to look back
and be like well okay I got this far
because X Y & Z is what paid for me to
get here you know I put myself through
beauty school I had to pay back I had to
put myself through it I had to pay for
it um you know I got my vehicles I had
to pay for them nobody bought me a car I
had to pay for it myself everything that
I have I can look around my home and say
I did it myself nobody has given me
anything everything in my home is
because of me and my husband's hard work
and I'm so appreciative more for it
because I worked so hard for it and you
know when we're gonna stall that with
our children the same thing you know we
just had a discussion last night with
Jeremiah because he had brought up
something about your IV and I was like
oh god please don't bring this up right
now you're pushing your age um but you
know I told him I said we you know when
you're of age where I feel that you are
mature and I feel confident allowing you
out on the street and mean your dad feel
comfortable that will be a discussion
that me and your dad have at that time
guess what you're not just gonna be
handed a car because you turned a
certain age I was like that's just not
gonna happen and I said you know what
happens is you will have to help put
money into that which means you're not
allowed to have a job until you're out
of high school which means I'm a
stay-at-home mommy to take my children
back and forth to where they need to go
I don't foresee children needing to have
their license when they're teenagers
because it's you know not in this day
and age they act like they're maniacs
but that's why in my husband's opinion
and you know everybody's different
everybody brings their kids up
differently
so I'm not dogging somebody if they
allow their kids to have you know
whatever at whatever age I mean that's
between you guys but for me I don't feel
that a child needs to have their license
at a younger age I think that's the time
when they are figuring themselves out I
think that's the time in their life
where they need to be focusing on their
studies and focusing on where they want
to take their life when they become an
adult and there will be a time that they
obviously are gonna have a vehicle but
again just because dad owns a vehicle or
just because dad owns a car lot doesn't
mean we're just gonna hand their car to
them no no no no it doesn't work that
way first of all you will come up with
whatever the amount is that you have for
a vehicle and me and your dad will match
it but you we're not just gonna go and
buy you a vehicle and you know you're
gonna work hard for that vehicle and
you're gonna work hard for carrying your
own insurance because again that is
bringing you up for responsibility and
that will be for every one of these kids
in my home and you know I just feel very
strongly about that we just finally took
the lodge of allowing Jeremiah to get a
phone and that was something that me and
Ollie really talked about because you
know we didn't feel that a child his age
needs to have a phone I think that that
takes away from focusing from what they
need to focus on and so opens up a lot
of doors for things that I really don't
need my kids getting involved in but I
also can't shelter them from the entire
world either and with Jeremiah you know
wanting to you know branch out and start
walking home sometimes and things like
that
I want to wave to either get a hold of
him or him to get a hold of me or check
in with him and you know he is getting
older and I understand that the world is
different today than it was even three
years ago so you know we revisited the
situation and we decided that we thought
it was a good idea but there's a lot of
regulations that are gonna come along
with this phone there is not you're
gonna sit and text your buddies and sit
on the phone all night because that's
just not gonna happen like your phone's
gonna end up on my TV stand at nighttime
when it's bedtime I am gonna be checking
your phone don't think it's not linked
to my account where I will see
everything going on coming in and out of
your phone and I will definitely have
location left on it so yeah I have a
helicopter mom and I will always be a
helicopter mom and I am proud to be a
helicopter mom my kids are not just
gonna run the world and have no no
guidance you know and part of guidance
is teaching responsibility and I believe
that well ardently so yeah it's been
it's been interesting as we're entering
another face of our life where you know
one of our children are getting older
you know and it's coming a little bit
interesting you know we're been having a
lot more interesting conversations at
dinner time you know and things like
that it's been nice but it's definitely
something new and it's teaching us for
the next two that's coming up okay honey
clearly I need to get going make dinner
for the kids I'm gonna go and prepare
their plates so that when all he brings
home these edges but I hope that you
guys had a wonderful day today I hope
you guys enjoyed I hope you guys enjoyed
I did
I will check in with you guys tomorrow
I'm gonna be home with the kids so I
have no idea what we're gonna be doing I
have not done my exercise the last two
days I supposed to do it yesterday and
take a break today
but yesterday I did not do it because I
was having my dizzy spells and I just
decided well my lightheaded and spells
whatever you well I did not feel
confident enough to get up and start
doing exercising so I'm just waiting
doctor called me today to get a couple
readings on my blood pressure and he
will call me tomorrow and then decide
what he wants to go ahead and do so then
at that point we'll decide if I'm safe
enough to start
so sizing but anyways I am going to
close this vlog town because my children
need to have all of my attention as
always but I will check in with you guys
tomorrow bright and shiny in the morning
and tell them you guys sweet dreams bye
bye
