Catching Up....

The weekend is over, it's Monday, time to get with it here. Daylight Savings Time is upon us once again, and I am glad....not so glad about the time change in the morning, but the extra hours of daylight at the end of the day are wonderful.

A little about me, now that I have decided to keep up with a blog. Hopefully I will figure all of this out soon, and how to get 'readers' and find other blogs to read. Well, I am a 38 year old divorced mother of 2 girls. My oldest is 11 years old and my baby will be 8 next week. For now, I do some stay at home things so that I can be here for my children daily. I babysit and I sell Avon. I really enjoy what I do, but a part of me can not wait to get back into the daily grind of a 'real' job. I have a wonderful man in my life who I have been with for almost a year now (wow) and we have a great relationship. To begin with, I never thought that I would find myself divorced and then when I did, finding another person to have in my life seemed like an impossible feat. However, I met a person who has a lot of the same interests and dreams as I do and we get along just fine.

Many of my interests include: Music......especially 80's and Rock. Photography...I don't get to do as much in this hobby as I would love to, but I enjoy it anyhow. TV and movies are something in which I try to keep up with, but I am not a fanatic about either, unlike some.

I have one younger sister who is like a best friend to me and we are closer than some siblings but not quite as close as I would like us to be. My mother passed away this past December after a lengthy battle with cancer and other horrible illnesses and my dad is still here taking it one day at a time.

One of my dreams has always been to write a book. I am not sure if a childrens book would be my thing or not, but maybe a pre-teen series for girls would be something I would enjoy. I have so many things that I would like to do and it just never seems like there is enough time in the day to do them all. Writing these blogs is going to be interesting, as I would love to get some of the 'writer desire' out of my system.

The thought of going back to school or taking online classes has also been something I have considered. I am really just in a 'slump' right now as to what exactly I would like to do and hopefully I can figure that out soon.

I do know one thing for sure.....nobody can make decisions for you, you have to live your life for 'you'.

Until next time......
