Family love is like no other. Sometimes being around them you feel safe and secure, and you know that they are safe. Love and bond at times are real strong. Keep your loved ones close and let them know how much you love and care about them on a daily basis.
Family is important and special, and of course there when you need them and vice versa. It is always good to have someone to call on no matter what. And spending time and having fun. Nothing like being around family and you all are having a good time.
The last memorable road trip I took was back in 2021 with my mom, Sister, my brothers, and our kids. We drove to Kansas City Missouri. It is memorable as it was the last trip I had with my mom, and I also got to see family that I hadn’t seen since I was a teenager. It was nice to see them and spend time with them and my mom. The only thing is I didn’t take a lot of pictures and that’s kind of sad when I think about it. It was all about family and barbecue. It was an emotional trip because my mom’s family had to say their goodbyes to her, and it was hard I think about it a lot and was happy that my mom saw them before she passed a few weeks after the trip. Overall, the trip was fun and very memorable!
My family’s top 3 favorite meals are Number One- breakfast food. My kids love it when I make cinnamon or chocolate chip pancakes or French toast, southern fried potatoes, scrambled eggs, sausages, and bacon. Sometimes, that is what they want for lunch and dinner that would be our most favorite. The second one is Tacos, and yes, my kids want it every Tuesday night. Taco Tuesday, they like to say. So, on Tuesdays, I would do them tacos, sometimes burritos and nachos. I am not an enthusiastic fan of tacos like my kids, but I make them a lot because they love them so much. The third meal my family loves is Cajun Sausage, Shrimp, or Chicken Fettuccini Alfredo pasta with broccoli and salad and garlic bread on the side. We also like to try different kinds of pasta and sauces. I sometimes like to add steak to my pasta meals, too. Yummy!
Why do we sometimes feel like we cannot tell those close to us the word no, if we do, we feel guilty and question ourselves. We want to help and be there, so we do not like to tell people no. The thing is we know sometimes that the best thing is to say no and know it is the right choice, but we struggle with it. Me I have that problem especially with my kids. I try to please my loved ones no matter what. Yes of course there are times when I am like no and that is final, but still feel bad about it and there are times where I do not know why I feel bad. Why is that? I was also that way with my mom. Is anyone else this way? This is another thing I have changed in my life!
I want to say those two letters and mean it and not feel bad about it or selfish. It’s not to the point where I feel like people are taking advantage, it is just how I feel about saying no and thinking about the other person feelings. Yeah, I often push I how feel to the side, but at this age I am used to it-SIGH-. Just like to help people, I guess. Even though I get told that all the time (LOL).
But now days I have learned that saying no is the best thing to do. It is what is best for me in certain situations. No matter what your feelings are. You have to always put your feelings first.
Can you easily tell a loved one, no? What do you think?
Chilling and enjoying the night with family. Watching the Super Bowl with my son and excited. Going for my home team Kansas City Chiefs!!! Love it. My son going for the Philadelphia Eagles.
Also, I liked the halftime show. I am a fan of Rihanna. Good performance. I am multitasking as I am writing some poetry. Thinking about writing another poetry book, but not too sure. Well back to my writing, of course got to get a writing session in before bed. Finishing some goals tonight. A chill night.
How are you all doing? Are you watching the Super Bowl? Did you enjoy the halftime show and commercials? Working on any projects?
