There has been a lot that has happened since March of 2008.....mom had brain surgery, expecting my second gift from above in about 4 months, Alyssa started school, and after all these years I'm starting school an about a week :) So much happening right now I'm my life, its overwhelming and such a blessing at the same time....I will write more soon
March 31 ~ I ♥ My sisters
Wow..these past 2 weeks have been so wonderful!! Okay so all my sisters came to visit for Spring Break..and I had such a great time visiting with them...we got to spend a lot of quality time together and it really made me miss the days when we were all together. Easter turned out to be really good...we colored eggs, hunted them and then the fam made dinner together, which isn't something that happens very often. So It was really nice to spend the day with just family in somewhat of a normal gathering. The kids also had a lot of fun, which is what really matters....Of course the house has been non stop commotion with the kids running around..driving everyone crazy..but its worth it all just to spend time with my sisters...I love them :)

March 20 ~ Soooo Excited
I'm so excited that my 2 little sisters are coming for Spring Break. I love them oh sooooo much and miss them so much that words cant explain. I cant wait until they actually move back here this summer. My brother and my sisters are so special to me, I love them so much. We will all be together at once, so I think we are going to go take some pictures for my mom and grandma while they are here. Okay well that's all...just wanted to share my excitement!!!!

March 18 ~ Starting Over, Part 2
Okay where was I....oh yeah, the whole health kick..well Alyssa and I went walking twice last week...slacked this past weekend cause my sister came into town, and hopefully if it doesn't rain again tomorrow we will continue....Its so depressing wanting to lose weight...and then its sooo hard to stick to the actual process of losing it. No one really knows how hard it is until they have been in the situation themselves...its easier said then done. However i am officially sick of it and will be doing my best to lose the weight so I can be happy once and for all. Not that i am completely miserable in life right now, cause i have plenty to be grateful for...but it could definitely be a lot better...my main focus is to do it for myself and not because others want me to lose weight....I need to do this for me and my health..so I can watch my daughter grow up and see her children. Okay enough of that..
My next goal that I want to meet during my journey towards weight loss is school. I hated high school so much, and never cared much for college...it just wasn't talked about much in my household growing up so I just never really gave it any thought...Now that I am older I see how important it really is to have an education...you really cant get a decent paying job unless you have some college background, and I want so much more in life then to have to live pay check to pay check...i want to take my daughter on vacations, go shopping when I want to, have nice things in life...I'm not materialistic, but I do like nice things. So, in order to have those things I have to get my crap together and get back in school. My dream job is to be a make-up artist...always has been. I did the cosmetology thing in high school, and it was fun and I learned a lot, but it focused more on hair..which isn't my thing. There are beauty schools that offer estetician courses which goes hand in hand with doing make up...but now that I am a mother I really feel that that career would require a lot of time away from home...and when I was growing up my moms job kept her away from home a lot...and I don't know that I want that for my daughter...So...witht hat being said...my next choice is to become a Registered Nurse. I would be an awesome nurse. I was a nurse aide forever when I got out of high school..and I loved it...but after i had my daughter I never went and got re certified after being out of work for 2 years to stay home with her. So after I went back to work I did some home health and this past year I worked a couple desk jobs..which are fun and all, but I really don't need to be sitting on my butt for 8 hours a day. So next month, hopefully I will get to start taking classes to be re certified as a nurses aide...which will get me back on the path to becoming a nurse. What I mean by that is it will get me back in the groove of things so I can do that while going to school to become a nurse starting this fall. And if i stay focused I know I can do it...as well as my boyfriend who wont let me give up...he is kinda hard on me about it..but i do realize that its only for my own good cause he wants me to be successful, and I want to be as well...so I listen to his lectures and bite my tongue...cause I know it is what i need to hear to keep me motivated. Thank you for that babe =)
I really think that by starting school and losing weight...things will start to fall into place for me and my daughter. All I want is to be the best mom I can be for her and any future children I might have. As well as for my younger brother and sisters who are just as important to me.
Im really glad that I got a chance to blog tonight, I feel so much better after getting all this off my chest, cause beofre I sat down all I wanted to do was cry! Im glad I feel better now. Im really not sure how many people read this, but if I had no readers at all...(thank you for those that do) ...this is still a great self help tool when I blog...cause I rarely talk about my problems with people ( im usually listening to theirs) and this is a good way to get it all out. Okay well Im all done for tonight...thanks for stopping by :)
