Hi! Welcome to my page! Fair warning, I've decided that this is going to be a venting spot, so if you don't want to hear...err read it...turn away now.
If you're going to stick around, you're in for a wild ride I'm sure.
Things have turned pretty shitty in my life in the last 9-12 months. My husband left me with our then 6 month old, living in the living room (ironic I know) of my mom's apartment, with no income, and lots of anger. I am no longer living in the living room, however I am still with my mom, which turns out is a saving grace for her as much as it has been for me, seeing as she lost her job the Tuesday before Thanksgiving and her car broke down the next day. So we're helping each other out now. Where it WAS just her helping me out, and I am NOT a mooch (I buy my own groceries, cook my own meals, do my own laundry, pay for my own gas for my own car, find other people to babysit when I need, etc) I did feel like I was mooching simply because of the circumstances.
I'm going to school to be a high school teacher...yes I'm aware how crazy that is, especially since I HATED high school...however teaching is one of the few things I've always felt I was meant to do. My major is English and my minor is History, even though I don't particularly want to teach either of those subjects...I really wish I could just teach Creative Writing and Public Speaking, however you need to teach English to teach those two so whatever. And English comes easily to me, it's what I've always excelled at and I enjoy most of it. It's going to take me roughly another 4 1/2 years to finish my degree, but I'm looking forward to it! Which brings me to something else...the pictures along the side <-- are pictures that I like, love, enjoy, inspire me, stand for, etc. Ireland is ALL of the above. I decided that a trip to Ireland is going to be my graduation present to myself when I do graduate...so that's there to remind me of one of the MANY things I'm working towards! :c)
My son is a little over a year old now (almost 16 months to be exact) and is the absolute light of my life and reason for living. With as much SHIT as I've had thrown at me in the last 9 months, if it weren't for him I litterally would not have gotten out of bed or done half the things I have. I saw 9 long, LONG, days without him, without being able to hug, kiss, hold, talk to or even see him, and it was NOT a pretty picture.
He's the smartest kid I know I swear. I'm seeing glimpses of terrible two's already and while they're not pretty, thankfully I'm more patient than I realized. (They say it's a virtue...well it's a virtue I wan't blessed with!)
Anyway, it's late here, and the kid will be up before I'd like him to be (although thankfully he's one of those kids that sleeps through the night, and is generally a late sleeper...like sleeps until after 9! I'm SSSOOO lucky!! I am NOT a morning person!) SO thanks for visiting and come back again soon!
