All caught up

ok so i have been sucking at keeping up with this blog. I have had a lot of things going on since i last posted. First off I quit my job so that i could put my family back together. My sister went back to live with my mother and it has been a great deal of stress taken off my shoulders. dont get me wrong because i love her more than she will ever know but she is a brat and was causing to much turmoil in my home. Second, my kids both passed the grades they were in and now i have a 6th grader and an 8th grader. Two middle schoolers. Dominic passed with mostly c's but at least he passed. im very pleased he brought them up from d's and f's. Elyssa passed with all a's but really who is surprised by that. she also received the presidial award for having atleast a 90% in all subjects all year and she received the character award for her class because she showed great character all year to everyone she came in contact with. Third, i have started my own jewelry business. i have a real passion for jewelry and i love to help woman look beautiful and it not cost them an arm and a leg to do so. I applied for a small business grant for woman so keep your fingers crossed that i get it. Well i guess that has you all caught up in my life. now lets hope i can keep it up.

blog at you later.

time fly's

wow i cant believe that it is already almost the end of march. i have not had a chance to get on here and blog all year. at the end of last year our computer crashed completely and we have not gotten a new one. last month we finally updated our phones so now I'm able to finally blog again.

alot has happened in the three short months of this year. i have been working full time at The Youth Academy taking care of babies 6 weeks to 12 months. i love my job for the most part but there are days when i wish i could just be a stay at home mom again. i miss being around all the time for my kids. being able to help with homework and social issues. they just grow up so fast and we as parents dont get very long to be that involved in their lives. sometimes i feel like im wasting that presious time away. i know its silly but its how i feel. and i know i will always be their parent but i feel what i feel. silly or not.

dale no longer works for the police department. he finally relised that i was right and it wasn't a good match for him. he is now back at the prison and trying to climb the ranks so he can help make it a better place for the officers an the inmates. i have no doubt he has a great future there.

the kids are doing good for the most part. we have our days and moments. the girls are in a play at church called The Seven Sisters. Elyssa loves it but Chey wants to quit all the time. i keep telling her that she made a commitment and has to see it through. she doesnt like it but im sticking to what i said. she has always given up when thing are not going her way or fast enough for her but i wont let her do that now and she hates it, but i feel like im right and she needs to learn that not everything is about her.

well i have rambled on long enough for today. so im going to go now.

More to come later.
