The end of another year

The end of the year is coming up and i feel i have completed more this year than i have in the last six. I was happy being a homemaker. i didn't feel i needed to do anything else. i lost my grand father in 2005. That event showed me that being a homemaker doesn't give you many options when you end up on your own. i didn't want to have to relied on my husband for income. God forbid if something happened where would that leave me. A single mother with a GED. you cant support a family with that kind of education anymore. So i took it upon myself to get a degree in a field that i would be needed in. You can not outsource medical care and people are always getting hurt or sick.

My last six weeks

Well lets see where do I start? I have been under a lot of stress these last couple of weeks. Christmas is coming up and I still have some last minute shopping to do. I have to take anatomy and physiology over again because I failed last term. I am in the process of moving on top of everything. Last but not least i had to go out of state to fight my ex in court for child support. So there are times when i feel like pulling my hair out. And through it all my daughter is the brightest moment of my day. Don't get me wrong sometimes she drives me nuts but there are more good times than bad. She smiles and i know everything will work out. She is wise beyond her years. I sometimes forget she is only six.

my writing style

When it comes to writing the first thing i do is brainstorm ideas. Once i think i have a good idea i do the research. You never want to write something just to have someone tear it apart telling you things are incorrect. Next is my rough draft. That way i can get a basic understanding of what i want it to look like. Next i do the proofreading and editing. Making sure i have no grammatical errors. Finally i write my final project. Once i think i am happy with the results. I believe you should always be throe. If you get stuck don't under estimate the usefulness of an outside opinion.

Too Much Excitement

Well this month will be a busy one for me. Not only do i have to do two Christmases i am also moving and going out of state for a week to be with family. The move is a good thing. I am moving to a better neighborhood. The Christmas thing i do every year. It is the curse of having divorced parents. And i can't wait to go out of town i am going to my grand parents house. I do not get to see them as much as i would like to. So even though it is a lot of work it will be so worth it.

The blog-o-sphere

To be honest this is my first blog so i am still trying to get used to it. I try to think of it as a diary that everyone has the password to. weird huh. It does help though when i am frustrated and need to just talk about it. I feel like I'm not alone sometimes. I'm not alone here it is just that people don't really care or have time to hear what i think. And my mothers answer is you made your bed now lay in it. I'm not unhappy with my life just over whelmed sometimes. Does that make sense?

welcome

hello everyone to my blog. Feeling a little irritated today. Daughter got in trouble at school today. I also burned lunch and broke a glass while doing the dishes. I came very close to going to my room and shutting the door for the day. But then nothing would get done and everyone would starve because my husband can't cook. My mother called and told me to take a bubble bath. she said that is the one thing that got her through raising two girls on her own. she is also taking my daughter for the weekend so i might have some quite time to be with my thoughts. I miss those. you know quite times.

First entry

My name is Patricia. This is my first blog. I am 25 years old. I have a wonderful husband and a precocious 6 year old little girl. I decided to go back to school because i was tired of working dead end jobs for little pay. I can't tell my daughter to go to college if i didn't. So i also went back to set a good example for her.
