Well, it has been some time since I last wrote.  Things are going along...I can't say they are the smoothest streets riden in life...but we are getting places at the very least...

Recently we let our house go...and moved out...we moved into something bigger and better though and for a lot cheaper...so it was a good thing in the end...it was just Hell getting to the good part...

My Love's parents are now living with us so that has our house hold up to 10 people...8 adults 2 children...5 bedrooms, 3 bath...sometimes I think 3 bathrooms still isn't enough ROFLMAO...but we manage to work things out always...after all that's what family does right...It gets crazy hectic sometimes...especially when all the females in the house get crabby ( and there are 5 of us...including the 6 year old cause sometimes I swear she can be crabbier than any of us LOL...but most the time she is a doll...I love her to pieces always...) My suggestion to the men on those days would be "just stay out of my way" or whoevers way lol...

Carol and the kids are doing okay...we've got the kids moved to their new school since we moved...the transition went alot smoother than we thought it would with our little man...but our little princess was having some difficulty at her other school and it seems to have carried over...she isn't wanting to go to school for some reason...doesn't want us to leave her once we get there...she no longer wants to go to her little cheerleading practices...nothing that has any kind of group...almost like she is becoming agoraphobic...we are getting worried because she can make herself sick over it...the school is working with us though trying hard to help...this new school seems to be really great and very with very nice people...I like it a lot so far for the kids...My Love is doing great after her surgery...she pushes herself too much but she is stubborn and wont listen to me for anything when I tell her to take a break...I trust that she will take the break when she needs it though...and if I am really worried I know how to get around her and get her to listen anyway hehehe...

I did make it back into college.  I am going to get my certificate in medical transcriptioning...with my associate degree that should get me a better paying job than the one I have now and the one I have now is paying me almost 13 dollars an hour after just 1 year of working there...not to mention with the medical transcribing I have the option of working from home which will give me the choice of getting a 2nd job I enjoy...like I miss my daycare kids and everything...maybe I could get a job at a daycare again just part time or something...I don't know...just thinking...I should graduate in December I hope...if not december then definately by the following semester...

I have been on medical leave from my job for the last (almost six months) they ran tests and all to try and find out what was wrong...punctured my spinal cord and had me down for almost 2 weeks straight where I couldn't even walk...I hurt so bad...come to find out I have been having seizures...they just aren't the convulsion kind...I black out and lose my eye sight and sometime my hearing...so they are trying to get me on the right dosage of medication to take care of that...I should be returning to work in March though...not looking forward to it...that's why I'm pushing hard to graduate in december so I can get a better job ASAP...not that the company isn't great...just that the people there it is horrible...at least in my department..I see more jr. high bull shit working with adults than I ever saw in Jr. high and high school it is so terribly sad and I don't like when they try to pull me into the dead center of it...I want out of that place...before they drive me utterly crazy...

Well...I miss writing in my journal...I will have to make more time for it...it's just that extra time is so rare these days...

I hope all of you in braveland are doing well...

Stay safe...
