Llama Llama, his mama has somedrama.
Is that one of those Llama Llamabook titles?
If not, maybe it ought to be.
I forget the author of thatseries, but I used to love
reading Llama Llama Red Pajamato my sweet little boy.
He enjoyed it too.
(00:27):
Also, Llama Llama Misses Mama.
Sure would be nice if my sweetlittle boy, who's not so little
anymore, missed his mama.
I certainly hope he does, and Ihope that my daughter does, too.
I'm Scarlett Davis.
This is my drama.
I'm the future single lady, andthis is my chronicle of forcing
(00:50):
a change in my life that, thoughI believe everything is better
in the end and that it's alldivinely purposed and divinely
suited, the fact is, It wasn'tan easy thing to do.
It wasn't an easy thing to gothrough.
And so this is the chronicles ofmy sometimes dramatic situation.
(01:15):
Sometimes, dramatically good.
Not always.
So if you're interested, thenkeep on listening.
I just have to tell you thatthis podcast is for
entertainment purposes only.
I am not I'm not authorized orqualified in any way to give
advice, really of any sort,other than based on my own
(01:36):
experience, but just becauseit's my experience doesn't mean
it's the same for you or whoeverit is that you would be getting
the advice for.
So I'm not qualified in any wayto advise you on anything except
maybe hair and or massagebecause that's what I do.
(01:57):
I am not a counselor.
I am not a legal professional.
I am not a doctor.
I'm not a nurse.
There's a lot of things that I'mnot.
But what I am is a person who'sgoing through some stuff and
who's sharing it with you.
And my hope is that it helps youin some way.
(02:20):
Whether it's just flat outentertainment, or if it helps
you know that you're not alone.
in going through your stuff.
If you're going through somekind of forced separation,
whether it's a marriage, arelationship with a significant
other, or maybe even a businesssituation where there is a
(02:41):
forced separation occurring, orif it helps you to understand
what someone else is goingthrough, or as I like to call
it, the ups and downs and allthe rounds, then keep listening.
I love you, my friend, and I'mso very thankful that you're
here.
(03:03):
Continuing on with thejournaling, February 16th, 2024.
This is a really short one, um,even with two entries being, uh,
the morning and the evening,there's only about a half a
page.
So, here we go.
For the morning, I said, a fullday of work scheduled, starting
with a perm and ending with mychildren.
(03:24):
Happy face.
I really, truly hope that we getsome good, fun, quality time
together this evening.
Happy face.
Yeah, I know, but I don't haveto pretend about the framed
marriage stuff.
I really want to be, want totake down a bunch of those
crosses.
We'll see after tomorrow andalso see about my framed stuff
that my aunt has, smiley faceexclamation mark.
Okay, I'm just going to explainfor a moment.
(03:45):
But there was a corner in themaster bedroom where we.
There was a corner in thebedroom where we had our framed
marriage license or certificateand also this additional thing
that the justice of the peacegave us.
And so they were allprofessionally framed and looked
nice and had a place of blessingin our home.
(04:08):
I am a person of faith and Ialso sort of developed a
collection of crosses.
Not, it was not something Iactively sought out to do, but
basically I put them in this,this corner.
I kind of think of this as mymeditation corner.
My great grandfather's easychair was in that corner, and
that's where I would sit notonly whenever I was reading or
(04:29):
just meditating But alsowhenever I would do some
webinars or stuff like that Andso it was in this corner, and I
just had things that Iconsidered blessings for me they
kind of increased my vibrationand There were crosses all in
this corner, so Since I don't,didn't care about the marriage
(04:52):
and I wanted it to end, then Ididn't need to pretend like
those pieces of paper or thoseframed things meant anything to
me.
And I was obviously looking fora place to put the stuff that
did inspire me.
So, to that evening.
The, the journal, the journalentry goes like this.
(05:14):
Busy day and good, though a tadcrazy, lol.
Told my grandmother what wasgoing on.
She was shocked but sympathetic.
Glad I caught her right beforeher morning meditation, smiley
face.
I'm asking everyone for goodthoughts, prayers, and energy.
Love and light for this being apositive thing.
Dash the best ever, exclamationmark.
(05:35):
Both kids came in for cuts.
My son decided on John Wick 4,and my daughter wanted Sherbert
Crunch, so she ran to thegrocery store after we stopped
off at the local auto partsplace to get a rear windshield
wiper for my daughter.
Happy face.
Taking care of business.
I made the monkey bread for myson that I forgot on Super Bowl
(05:55):
Sunday, happy face.
Was too full for salad or ribsafter having summer sausage,
exclamation mark.
I don't know if that was forSuper Bowl Sunday or that day.
And loving having the bestfuture me pull my strings.
Looking forward to tomorrow,happy face, happy face.
Looking forward to sleep, happyface.
(06:17):
And, I don't know, there's 22,oh, I think that maybe those are
some Z's in there.
Happy face.
It looks like four twos, but Ithink it's maybe some z's, and
there's some happy faces.
So that's it for February the16th, 2024.
It was a happy time for me.
The kids and I were doing well.
(06:39):
We were hanging out together.
We were doing special stufftogether.
It wasn't over the top.
It was just us being us, and itbeing good, because we were
always good.
Even when we weren't so good, wewere still good, because we
communicated, and we workedthrough our stuff, and we
learned from whatever it wasthat we did or went through.
(07:00):
So, I mean, I'm a parent.
That's my job, right?
So, I always tried to make themost of it because my job was
always, I told my kids always,that every parent has the same
job whether they realize it ornot, and that is to raise
responsible, respectful,productive citizens of the
world, not just of Portland,Texas, or Texas, the United
(07:23):
States, of the world.
This is a worldwide community,and It's one thing to be
responsible, it's another thingto be productive.
And it's one thing to beproductive, and it's another
thing to be responsible.
So, responsible, productivecitizens of the world.
That is every, in my opinion,that is every parent's job.
(07:46):
And I always told my kids, and Iincluded their dad in this too,
I said, we take our jobsseriously.
So if you want to compare us toother people's parents, that's
fine.
Just know that not every parentknows that this is their job.
And even those who do know thatthis is their job, they don't
take their job seriously.
(08:07):
But your dad and I do.
And we put thought and time andeffort into things that we ask
of you guys.
So, and as, was it yesterday?
Yesterday's?
Yeah.
So just the evening before, myson had expressed thanks for how
he was raised.
(08:31):
My son was 17 at the time thathe said that.
And I'll be honest, it wasn'tthe first time he said it.
And he wasn't sucking up either.
He has just been raised with anawareness and has been taught
to, both of our children have,to observe the things around
them and to think about it andto make decisions.
(08:52):
How do you want to be?
Do you want to be like, like theperson you're looking, looking
at?
Are you looking up to them orare you looking down at them?
If you're looking down at them,do you want to be like that?
If you're looking up to them, doyou want to be like that?
What steps are you going to takeor not take to either be or not
be that person?
(09:12):
There you have it.
That's my drama for the day andI think maybe we've both had our
limit.
If not, keep listening becausethere's another episode.
There's more.
There's always more.
