What's up my homies? It's been a long time since I last blogged. I've been a little busy. Of course everyone knows that my baby girl, Chloe Eliah Fletcher, was born in December. Since that time Gail and I have both been busy. I've been working as many hours as I can so Gail can stay home with the baby. This has been awesome in a sense. Neither one of us want our daughter to be raised in daycare or by a relative. (No offense to any of our relatives!) We just want to raise our daughter together. We are both in agreement that the best way to go about it is for Gail to stay home. It's not easy though. We of course also have Gail's wonderful first born daughter Tabby. Tabby's a teenager and has all kinds of interests and activities as most teens do. So between running Tabby to all kinds of stuff and taking care of the baby Gail's pretty busy all the time. I feel like all I do is work. I've been working between 50-55 hours a week, some of those hours being on Saturdays. Here's the thing. I'm not complaining! I thank God every day for the overtime because we need the money. I just feel like I'm missing out on so much with my family. Chloe is growing every day. I miss Gail and Tabby.
What's bugging me the most is health insurance. Our health insurance at work is so dang expensive that I can't afford to add Gail once we get married. Nor can I afford to add Chloe. Thankfully, Chloe and Tabby are covered through the state. But Gail is not. I know there's a lot of people going through the same types of issues we are. Anyone else frusterated? Anyone else feel like our government lets us down with all this healthcare coverage BS?
Another thing that frusterates me is music. I feel like I have talent. I feel like I'm good at what I do. Lots of people comment on the music I make and say they love it. Why can't I make money off of this God? Why can't I make enough money to take better care of my family? I left it all behind becuase God told me to. I made a name for myself in the St. Louis rap scene. I did a show at Blueberry Hill that was off the chain. I had the whole place feeling my album Beats 2 The Rhymes. I had the connections to do shows for as long as I wanted. God told me to walk away. So I did. Now I know why. It was time to focus on my family that was coming. But what now Lord? What now.
