Okay Okay, so I'm back. After a long leave of absence, I have come back to relieve my readers that were just sitting on edge awaiting my next sentence. (o_0)
Anyway, this past year has held a lot of ups and downs for me and my family. I have come to realize that writing provides a release of the daily frustrations that I encounter. I also just like to have a place to come and mark my territory( insert mental picture of me peeing on my laptop screen).
I am enrolled back in classes with University of Phoenix and am still working as a teacher's assistant in a preschool class at a Christian private school. Not much else has changed on the home front, well, I take that back. Last February, we moved from the fabulous lifestyle of renting an apartment to renting a house. We made that move and also had my mother in law move down to Florida to live with us. (More on the Mother-in-law later). After living in the house, (I LOVE LIVING IN A HOUSE COMPARED TO AN APARTMENT) for a year, we find out that the slum lord that owns 5 other houses is filing for bankruptcy and this house is being foreclosed on.
Soooo, long story short, we gotta move......AGAIN!!!
No worries, I got moving down to a science now. I just gradually pack and freecycle our stuff and hope for the best. It actually is a very cleansing process. Allows you to get rid of alot of stuff you were holding on to, just in case. Back to the world of Rubbermaid, Ziplock, & Tupperware!!! You know what I'm talking about...everybody has drawers or even maybe an entire garage dedicated to all the shit that you hold on to JUST IN CASE.
Soooo, if you care to journey along, we may have fun. There might be snacks, dirty talk, craft projects, jokes and even a few tears. Won't you come along too??

Been a long time...
After being fussed out a bit by a friend about not updating the blog, I decided to get off my butt and do the damn thing. I'm not very good at catch up posts...since y'all know I love my lists, here goes.
Home
Life's okay, house is a mess, always something to clean, lease is up in Feb. wanna move to rent a house, still looking.
Spirituality
Haven't been to church in a month of Sundays, but still pray and meditate a couple times a day. Not feeling the church folk at the current moment.
Kids
Doing great, Professor on Dean's List, Drama Princess on Honor Roll, still hate the school uniforms and rules about dreadlocks. No Rec Basketball this year, really sucks.
Marriage
Going surprisingly well, spending a lot of time together tripping on each other.
Weather
In Florida, it's awesome. No hurricanes, not much rain. It ranges from 50 to 85 degrees. I like this time of year.
Dog
Doing good, hates to be alone during the day when we're at work & school.
Family
Haven't had any surprises lately from Drama Princess' mother(my sister), I maybe speaking too soon with the holidays coming up, she's likely to feel antsy and start more mess.
College
Okay, classes are back to back, no breaks, tons of work in the evenings.
Work
Love the job & kids in my classroom, don't like the admin. and some co-workers, NOTHING NEW!! Commuting working out okay, as long as gas prices stay under $ 1.50/ gallon.
Hair
Still growing, I usually keep it tied up in fear of picking up lice from kids at work, still needs some serious grooming and a good clarifying wash, looking for a new salon that's not gonna break the bank for regular maintenance.
Sooo, how's life for you??
