In January, I was....

In January, my daughter and I were at home enjoying the snow for a whole week. We were snowed in, but I had plenty of  food cooked. We both dressed ourselves up real warm. Of course I had hot chocolate ready after we finished playing in the snow. I made some homemade chicken noodle soup. As soon as the snow started to melt we were able to return to school. I think we lost about two days of school at that time. Which was fine with me:) During this time I also decided to do some early spring cleaning. I dejunked my house because it started to get a little crowded from things that people had gave me. It isn't that I didn't want it, I had enough stuff and now I have learned to just say," I would take it, but I just don't have any room for it". I don't like to hurt feelings. I try to be as helpful as possible, but I ain't bringing anything else into my house I'm not using. My January was not that busy, but I'm glad it was down time for me to focus on what I needed to do as far as my responsibilities are concerned.

Life takes some funny twists and turns.....

Life takes some funny twists and turns as you get older. By the time you turn 18 years of age, you have to decide if you are going to school or just work a job, any job. In 2000, I started working at a plant (McCord Winn) and I never thought that at this plant I would earn my management skills from there. I earned to pay in three months and I also was the shift leader if our shift leader was absent. Of course the older employees didn't like it but I guess I stood out from the rest. I was very good with my hands. But as time fast forwards to 2003, I started working at Eletrolux, I meet my daughters father working there. I didn't think that within a years time or any time I was going to be a mother. In 2005, I gave birth to my daughter. She changed my life forever. I was a stay at home mom for a year and a half. I went back to work at a plant, but a better job opportunity opened up and it was a fast food place (Dunkin Donuts). I worked there until they let me go and I was able to draw unemployment. While drawing unemployment, I decided that this would be the perfect time to go back to school. Here I am, a student at Tri County Tech. Never thought that I would see the day I would be back in school. It's really funny how life takes some funny twist and turns.

" Sometimes,I feel like a..."

Sometimes I feel like taking risks becasue I'm not getting younger. I am a single mom, and at this poitn it doesn't seem as if I'm going to have anymore children so, I'm ready to start exploring more about life. I have missed a lot being a single mom, and now it is time to do things that I have feared like, sky diving, fly from state-to-state. I want to be free as a bird one day, but for right now I have to do duty first which is be mom. Sometimes, I feel ike a nut and sometimes I don't. But In due time I will be able to do as I please and I won't feel so nutty.
