Moving On.

It has been a long time since I posted. Life is keeping me over my head busy. In addition to my 6 to 6 Monday through Friday schedule, I also work 25 hours on the weekends the kids are with their dad. I am lucky my weekend job is fun and I get to sleep for seven hours of my shift.

I started school again at the University in January. Only two classes (6 credits/half time). One online, and one Thursday nights. I looked over my plan last week. If I take 6 credits this summer I can graduate August 2013. If I take nine, I can graduate May 2013. I feel that the end is in sight! Will I start grad school right away? I am not sure. That depends on life circumstances.

My schedule is fairly packed. Sundays I work or have my kids with me. Mondays I work, then I take one of my three kids out on a one-on-one. Tuesdays I work, and the kids each have an hour of tutoring in English in the evening. Wednesdays I work and have an evening without kids to spend with David and catch up on shopping, homework, socializing. Thursdays I work then go straight to class. Fridays I work then go straight to my second job or chill with my kids and often our friends. Lastly, Saturdays I either work or spend time with my kids and catch up around the house.

Single motherhood. Home owner. Student. Many roles that keep me on my toes.

David and I celebrated (well, we didn't actually find the time to celebrate) six months together in January. Six wonderful months! We have been talking about future, marriage and babies. And I cannot imagine not having him with me on my journey. I am completely in love. David is so patient, loving, sincere, stable, fun, funny, intelligent. He doesn't expect me to be anything other than me. I feel safe and loved with him. Feelings that I have never felt to this extreme in any other relationship. I can cry with him, say the wrong things (I am good at that), make a fool of myself. I love him so entirely.

So, I am moving on. I am building my life the way I've craved it to be. Getting out, being social, loving and being loved, staying busy busy busy and dancing through life. So, sorry I haven't written. I guess it just isn't that important right now.
