I know that I haven't blogged about much, but not much has been blog worthy lately. But since its been a while I decided to blog.
I was at the store the other day and heard a man talking to someone else and going off about how worthless single mothers were. I don't remember the specifics of what he said but I was seething and really wanted to give him a peice of my mind. He talked about how they (single moms) lived off the government and how he was mad as hell that he was the one who had to pay for them to sit at home and have everything handed to them. Now I know that some people do this and he does have reason to be upset. I really wanted to march up to him and say " I guarantee that probably half of the single mom's in the world don't ask to be put in that situation." I am going to step up on my soap box now and tell you how I feel about this subject.
*steps on box*
I never in a million years thought I would be a single Mom. Did I contribute to him leaving, you betcha. But I can tell you that I fought tooth and nail to try and keep my husband when I found out that he wanted to leave. But I can also tell you that I am a better person now than I was then, I have learned lessons, grown and bettered my self for my children. Do I use the welfare system? Yes. Do I abuse it? NO!
Ok I won't ramble about this anymore.
I've decided to go back to school, continuing my education to make my self more accessable to my kids is my goal. I love my job and the people I work with but 12 hour graveyard shifts make it very hard to be a good mother. So I am going to go back and get my MA (medical assistant) so that I can work in a Doctors office, with stable hours during the time my girls are in school. I am excited to go back to school and can't wait to start learning.
My girls are coming home soon, in a couple of weeks but still soon. I can't wait.. I have missed them so much. But I am also so thankful to have such wonderful "ex family" for lack of a better term. They are all so good with my kids, patient, nurtuing and able to give them so much love! The girls adore them all so much. I can't express enough how thankful I am for the support they are to me.
There is alot going on in my life right now, most of it good. Some of it is going to be very hard but worth every bit of effort exherted to achive the goal. I am excited that I am moving a head in my life and working towards the best me I can be.
Thanks to all for the love and support!
