Hey everyone! Sorry it has been so long since I have updated everyone on whats been going on around here. I am still working and still liking it. Its nice to have some of my own money to treat myself and to help with the household bills. The transition from stay at home to working mom has been interesting. Its not that it has been bad but its been challenging. Yes challenging is the perfect word for it. I am still working on balancing everything like working, cleaning house, spending time with the family and still working on things I enjoy just for me like blogging on my social sites and working on my magick and writing. So as I learn to balance everything, which I think I am doing a pretty good job for a newbie, I will be on here more like I used to be.
I am not new to working and thats what a lot of people dont understand. I am new to working while I have a family of my own that I am responsible for at home. This is a huge adjustment and its okay that I am not the master at it right off the bat. I am proud of myself for the progress I have made and for sticking with this job and doing well at it. I like it, I am good at it, and I actually enjoy going to work. Plus I never thought that I would be able to ever work again because of my disease. I am just so hopeful about everything now. All these dreams that I had put away because I thought my disease would keep me from them I can open again. I know that with the use of the tools that I have learned to use to cope with my disease and my therapy and medication and just basically taking care of myself that I can do anything just like everyone else.
So I cut my hair short and shocked the crap out of everyone. I cut about 12 inches of my hair off. I love it and I needed something new and fun and funky. I finally feel like after all these years of being a frumpy mom I have the found woman that I lost long ago. I wear make up now, I get my nails done and I have nice hair now. I love it and I feel even better that I am able to treat myself to these things with money that I worked for. I know I am a dork lol.
I started reading this series of books called The House of Night series. OMG I fucking love them. I love them completely. They are so good and I can't put them down. I am literally reading one book every other day. I am so glad that I have found them and that I am reading again as well. I have always loved to read just has been awhile to find something really interesting that I am really into.
Nathaniel and Taylor are doing great in school. The parent teacher conference with Nathaniels teacher went amazing. She said that he is so respectful and so kind hearted and that he has an old wise soul, I have always thought this as well. He has been picked to work in a program where every kid gets a buddy with autism and they are there to help them with things that they might need help learning and to be a role model of good behavior for them. He enjoys helping others and his best friend is autistic and is the cutest little guy that I have ever seen. He lives in our neighborhood and is nathaniels best friend and loves to hang out here at our house. I am just so proud of him and the wonderful progress that he has made. Taylor is doing well as far as I know. We havent been able to see her that much and its irritating. For those who don't know Taylor is my stepdaughter. She is supposed to come over every other weekend to stay with us. Before we moved this past April she lived ten minutes away from us and would come over every weekend. Now we live forty minutes away and she comes over every other weekend. Her mom hardly talks to us anymore and according to Taylor has just been ignoring her kids all together, but that is not my place to say or judge on that. Anyway, she gets invited to sleepovers and birthday parties all the time because she is so popular, and she wants to stay home so she can go to those events which is fine, just would be nice if her mother would tell us ahead of time instead of last minute where we are looking forward to finally seeing her and then being told we aren't. Other than that she seems okay and has enjoyed her time here with us atleast. As far as I know school is going well for her.
I guess that sums up everything for the moment. Like I said before really working hard at balancing everything and being able to work out a routine for myself again. I will be writing on here more and trying harder to keep up with everyone and to let everyone know whats going on with me. I love you all and I hope that you all have a great night!
