Where Do I begin



So, It's been several years since I've put out any type of blog or vlog. A lot has happened over the past couple of years. Derrick and I went from being just the two of us to three, then back to two again, to three,  to two, and now we're back to three LOL. I'll explain...

Before I go into that, let me quickly introduce myself...

I'm Tammia, I'm a 34-year old mommy to 3 babies. Two of those 3 are in heaven. I have a genetic disorder called Spinal Muscular Atrophy. I do use a wheelchair 😊.  My partner and I have been together for 11 years and we have a sweet but very sassy one-year-old little girl. 

Okay, on with my birth story lol.

Back in 2015, I became pregnant with our first child. Of course, we were so very excited. We did the usual, made plans, prepared to buy all the baby essentials we needed. Even though I was in the early stages of pregnancy, I wanted my family to know we were pregnant. The news wasn't taken so well, I guess because of the fact that I have a disability and need assistance with taking care of myself, so "HELL, WHY BRING A BABY INTO THE WORLD WHEN YOU CAN'T TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF?" is the question I was asked. I say because I'm a woman, I have dreams and I'm not letting some shitty genetic disorder take that dream away from me. Just because I'm disabled doesn't mean I can't love and care for a child. Anywho! At I believe 10 weeks I miscarried our first child. I was so devastated because that was my first baby and I lost him/her. I'm not gonna lie, but I was pretty depressed but I got through it and I continued on.

I actually posted a vlog on Youtube about my miscarriage. I'll post it below

I'm Back.. Lets give this blogging thing another try



Heya folks, It's Tammia and I'm back.

A lot has happened, since I've last blogged.

Derrick and I moved to a new apartment. It's much bigger than the one we lived in before. I love it!! Derrick actually surprised me with the new apartment after Christmas. We were already looking at other apartments because the one that we were living in had a leaky roof. The leak was pretty bad, bad enough to where mold was forming around the leaky area. IT WAS CRAZY!!! The apartment manager kept sending out people to fix the leaks, but hell, the roof kept leaking, lol. To be honest, the people they sent out didn't know what the hell they were doing anyway. BUT ANYWAY!!

 We have a new fur baby!! He name's Zoey, she a Min Pin and super cute and so daggum sweet, but she's fiesty and VERY protective. She's also a mess just like her kitty sister Merryn, lol. 

She's a year old, I've had her since she was 6 or 8 wks. She was tough to house train, but with a lot of patience and love, shes finally got the hang of things. With me being home almost all the time, I figured I'd teach her a few commands. This girl's really smart, so smart she taught herself how to escape out of her puppy pin lol. She's my little escape artist, she can get out of anything, ALMOST anything lol. I thought, "Well, if she has enough sense to figure out how to get out of something, why not teach her some simple commands".  She knows how to sit, lay down, high five and give me paw(shake hands). I'm going to also teach her how to "fetch", so that if I drop something, she'll pick it up for me. We worked on it a couple of times, she go the hang of it and was picking things up, but then she got tired of jumping from my lap to the floor, so she was like "Ok girl, look...I'm tired, get it yourself". She laid down and went to sleep, LOL. 

I love this little girl to death!!!!








I finally have a new wheelchair. I've been trying to get a new chair for I don't know how long. It's a process, but it's worth it. My old chair was 7 or 8 years old and on it's last leg. The thing was going so slow; reminded me of those daggum Walmart scooters, UGH!!. I was so happy when I my new pink caddy, LOL. 


I also filmed the process of my Wheelchair Fitting and when I got Pink Beauty :)

I'm almost finished with school, I'm done with the academic portion of school( THANK THE LORD), now I have to complete an externship and then I can graduate. I've actually been trying to complete an  externship for about a year now, only because I was having issues with getting transportation back and forth to the site.

Now, for everyone that doesn't know, I'm disabled and I use a wheelchair. I'm unable to drive at the moment, so I have to depend on public transportation. I hate it, but oh well, lol. 

If you're wondering "well Tammia, what are you going to school for?", I'm persuing my Associates Degree in Medical Office Administration. I'll be the person you'll see at the front desk greeting you and asking for your insurance and other information, or I'll be the one billing your insurance :) 


Anywho, I enrolled back in school, took care of my financial aid and had the necessary drug screening and tests done, so now I'm waiting on the ok, to officially start my externship. I'm excited but nervous, but I know that I'll do fine.


I think I'm going to continue blogging as well as vlogging :) I may vlog once a week, maybe twice, depends on if anything exciting happens or I just need to vent. 

Everyone's asleep here. Derrick's sawing logs with his throat. Merryn, our cat is laying her fluffy butt at the foot of the bed, stretched out like she's the only one on the bed, and Zoey's in her kennel, curled up with her nose in her butt. Meanwhile I'm sitting here on my laptop, while the show COPS is watching me. I need to be asleep because Derrick has to get up at 7AM for work. When he gets up, I get up because I can't get out of bed by myself. It sucks sometimes because I would like to sleep in but, it is what it is.... 

Alright, I'm going to bed now... nighters!!!

Well, my birthday sucked

Well, today was my birthday. I'm 29 years old, and I can't believe it. I don't know IF I should be excited or sad that I'm getting old lol. I didn't really do much today, just sat around and played Battlefield 4. My birthday was so eventful!! *sarcasm*. My mom and little brother came up from Talladega (Alabama) to spend the weekend with me. I was excited about that, until today lol. By the end of the day, I pissed my mom off, don't know how. She said it was because of a post I made on Facebook, which might I add, had nothing to do with HER. All I said was, I was mad because I wasn't doing anything for my birthday and how I was disappointed because of the fact that I wasn't doing anything. See, my fiance, me, and my younger brother had plans to go to the mall. My younger bro decided at the last minute that he didn't want to go because he didn't have money to spend. So, I was a little disappointed about the whole situation, and like any other Facebooker who's upset about something, I turned to my trusty Facebook status and I posted a "disappointment post". Well, my mom saw it and commented on it, telling me to stop "being a big baby" and that "I act like my birthday is everyday" , and yadda yadda yadda.. I seriously think she took that as, "I wasn't doing anything for my birthday because of her."which was totally not the case. there was no need to try to explain to her that my post had nothing to do with her, because she wouldn't want to hear it, so I just left it alone .


While all of this was going on, my fiance Derrick was at work, working. That's something else that dampened my day, the fact that Derrick had to work :( 

Also, MErryn is super afraid of my younger brother lol. Don't know why, because he hasn't done anything to her. He tries to pet her, but all she does is runs and hides either behind the tv stand or behind my computer lol.

In other news, because of the whole Facebook confusion, I didn't get to video anything for my YouTube channel today because I didn't do much, and my mom was to busy being pissed. So I have to think of something else to do. I might do another tag video or something, I don't know yet. If anyone is reading this, If you have any suggestions, let me know :)

Hopefully tomorrow (or today) would be better, even though it probably won't because I have to finish  homework for a couple of my classes for the next few days. UGH!!! I can't wait until I graduate!!!

Hey ya'll :)

Hi folks, I'm Tammia and I'm from Birmingham Alabama [BAMA STAND UP!!!] I live with my fiance Derrick,  and we've been together for 5 years. We share a cute little furry kitty named Merryn Monroe; she's a hot A** mess hunni. Derrick and I both face challenges every day because, he's blind and I'm in a wheelchair. With our disabilities, we manage pretty darn well in this crazy city lol. I decided to give everyone a glimps into our lives through YouTube, so if you're into vlogs and don't mind watching a chic in a wheelchair and a blind guy talk to you through a camera, subscribe to my channel and be a part of our family :p
