chaoooosss

i always get caught up in things.

people, places...etc.

i focus too much in one spot, and not enough in another. the result is chaos.

i no longer work for ihop, even though it didn't even last a year. i need to find a job that doesn't require quite so much dedication. i was working 60 hours a week, and bringing home decent money--but what good is money when i have to miss field trips with my kids? when i can't get off on birthdays, anniversaries, or even on new years eve to kiss my husband at midnight?

im a stay at home mom at heart, and my family will always come first. so i'm taking some time off to re-organize, and play with the kids.

for those of you i missedddd....i'm sorry! i've let a lot of relationships suffer for the past several months, and i hope you can find it in your hearts to forgive me. :)

Some things...

So, I think Amaya is too brave. Way, way too brave, and far too independant for her own good. Anyways, at three years old she's quite addicted to the pool and is learning to swim quite quickly. Here, she's going in circles pretty much, down the slide, to the ladder, around the slide, up the slide, down the slide, to the ladder, etc...

The kids always have a bunch of fun when we go over to my Mom and Dad's house. They have a huge back yard, filled with fruit trees!, cats and dogs to play with, grandparents to spoil the kids, and best of all the pool. My Dad loves buying the kids new things to play with in the pool. (It gives him something to do. LOL!)

Here's Zachary the shark. hehe

Anyways, off to work! :)

OH MAN!

I forgot to post pics, I'm terrible. I know. I'm sorry. :):)

Here's Amaya and my dad in the pool...

And these are taking forever to load and I have to get to Mom's so I'll post more later. BYEBYE!

Interesting.

Well, court was boring.

Mom went with me.

We sat in the holding room from 0830 til 1200, and never even got to see the courtroom. I didn't get to stand up and make the heart wrenching speech you always see happen in the tv shows, and there wasn't some badass A.D.A. backing me up to help tie up the case....it was pretty boring, really. We watched some tv, read some magazines, played checkers, and pretty much tried to stay awake.

Oh well, maybe next time.

WAIT! No, no next time. I'M HAPPY IT WAS SO BORING! Less drama is good in real life. :)

Court?

Did I put the story of my robbery on here?

I don't think so.

On May 11 I was robbed at gunpoint. I tried to play it off. It's messing with my head--a lot. I had to quit my job, and went for almost an entire month without working--fearing even leaving the apartment. I was deeply upset by the fact that someone (it turned out I knew him, even!) would dare to threaten my life. Life is sacred, and it scared me out of my mind to think I could've lost mine. My children, my husband...my life, it's too important. It's all too important.

Anyways, I have to go to court Friday and see this young man. His name is Mychael, and he's 17. His father is a police officer, and he was a good boy until he started hanging out with this group of gang bangers....anyways, he has now ruined his entire life. He's going to jail, he was caught less than a block away with the clothes, costumes, money and bank bag that I described to the police. There is no chance of worming his way out of it. It's really sad.

So, I guess I have a prayer request for anyone who's up for it. Please pray for Mychael, pray for his life that he can find the right path in life during his incarceration, work towards furthering his education while in prison, so that when he gets out he can be productive and happy instead of returning to the life of crime that has now ruined his young life.

Hugs to all!

oh man

WHY DO I FEEL SO OLD LATELY?

Seriously. I'm not that old.

But it seems like everything is going so fast, and sometimes I just want to scream for the world to stop. I don't have enough time to get everything done I want to do!!

Did my post go through about my story? I don't think it did. I'm formulating a story idea, and it's going to be lovely. I just need Sandra to answer a few questions for me, and give me a few permissions, and then...viola!

I suppose I should maybe get that email out with those questions, hrm?

Anyways...off to play with the kids!
