Beautiful song, beautiful sentiment

I love these lyrics...

This Is Love by Kelly Rowland

[Verse 1:] Can you describe the moment
When two people fall in love?
Some say the clouds will spin in circles
And the rain will turn to dust
The poor will start to laugh
Even the rich will start to cry
It can sneak up like a soldier
It can wake you up at night
Thats what i feel when i'm standing here with you
Its what my heart has sworn to be true

This is love
Its written on my face
Its the way i lean my body towards you
Even when i'm a hundred miles away
This is love
Like a diamond in the sand
It took so long to find you
I cant wait another day to say
This is love
This is love

[Verse 2:] You take my imperfections
And turn them into art
If i can change one thing about you
There would be no place to start
You are safety without numbers
You are dangerously wild
But you're sweeter than rock candy
And you ease my inner child
Its what i feel when im standing here with you
Its what my heart has sworn to be true

This is love
Its written on my face
Its the way i lean my body towards you
Even when i'm a hundred miles away
This is love
Like a diamond in the sand
It took so long to find you
I cant wait another day to say
This is love
This is love

[Bridge:] No im no easy angel
I'm moody like the wind
I am impatient,complicated
I am fragile deep within
But you're no fool
And I'm no little girl
Have we not found
There is love in the world

This is love
Its written on my face
Its the way i lean my body towards you
Even when i'm a hundred miles away
This is love
Like a diamond in the sand
It took so long to find you
I cant wait another day to say
This is love
This is love

It's Kemani's World

You may or may not know I have twin boys... almost 5 years old.

Raising these busy men alone ain't no kinda joke. I have blogged about the “joys” of twins before…

Kendi, is jive laidback and chill.

But Kemani, the older twin, is 4 going on 24! He tells me, Mom, I am a MAN! I'm like okay.

Last night he discovered a Frederick's of Hollywood catalog.
Comes into my room with it in his hand. "Mom?"
I am playing the Sims 2 (my addiction), "Hmmmh?"
"Imma read this magazine in your room." That sounds suspect, so I look up and see what it is.
"Where did you get this?" taking it from him
"In Jadyn's room" my 11 y.o. daughter
"Son you can't look at this. Why do you want to see it." Can't wait to see what he is gonna say
"But I want to see the girls. The women. I like girls." Eyes all glassy and bright
"Boy get out of here!"

That lil boy is too much! One of my favorite things to say is “I don’t know what is going to happen when Kemani is released onto the world.” The world ain’t ready for him. Hell, most days I ain’t ready for him and I pushed his azz out!

A couple of weeks ago, I was in the kitchen getting ready to make dinner. Here he comes in his everchanging RED PowerRanger costume/get-up.
(I say everchanging because on any given day he will find every RED thing he can get his hands on and lay it out on the floor : one winter PowerRanger glove, a red sock, my measuring cup, a Spiderman glove, a headscarf, 2 or 3 various McDonalds toys, some Lightning McQueen stickers, a red sweatshirt, Mickey Mouse t-shirt, flag printed swim trunks, a PowerRanger hat… then proceed to find someway to put every article of clothing on AND find a way to attach everything else to his person in some kinda way… all the while yelling “S P D Emergency!” I swear I HATE whatever Japanese businessman thought up that ish… but I digress)

Anyway he sees me pulling out hotdogs and proceeds to say “ I want a hotdog”.
I say “ok. I’m fixing it.”
he says “put it in there” (pointing to the microwave)
I say “no, because I am going to fix some fries with it and I want them to get ready at the same time so you can have them together, ok?”
you know it’s not okay… right?

This lil niglet points that PowerRanger sword at me and proceeds to say “I want a hotdog” about 75 times in the span of one minute and a half. so I turn around crouch down, look him in the eye and tell this little big-eyed boy:

“Kemani get away from me before I hurt you.” thru clenched teeth.

you know, the I’m serious momma face

He drops the sword.

takes 3 steps backwards

looks up at me

and says,

“Is this far enough?”

I rest my case.
