Philly's first snow
We finally got a little snow (2in), I'm staying in today to catch up on things so y'all will probably be hearing from me more than you care to.
Train your kids now, they will thank you for it later
(don't focus on how crazy we look, he make's me look shorter and fatter)
Kadeem is constantly complaining about his roommates and how sloppy and stinky they are, I recently received these pics from the nephew-son with the following message:
Kadeem's closet
Kadeem's desk
Roommate's closet
Roommate's desk
Kadeem: now you see!
Me: slobs!
Kadeem: see you trained me right
Me: yea, they obviously didn't get the training
Kadeem: I know, right!

ALWAYS BE TRUE TO YOURSELF!
Just in case you didn't know, you should always stand up for what you believe in, no matter who you have to challenge. I know certain situations can be intimidating but your beliefs are a large part of who you are and if you don't hold your ground when it comes to them, then you are not being true to yourself. You will begin to feel insecure and question things about yourself as people walk all over you.
I'm telling you this from experience, don't let folks change who you are. Yes, I'm a little heated and passionate bout this here but I hate when people take your kindness for weakness!
