Best Friends....

I truly have some independent, awesome, caring, lovable friends who I miss and adore. I talked to my best friend whose in Atlanta and she came to visit (Chicago). I just so happen to call then I learn she will be spending a week in Chicago. I was supposed to meet her but my 6 year old got sick and I took her to the emergency room, so I did not make it but another best friend who is already living their stayed 5 minutes away and didn't visit her which she truly was hurt. The other best friend knew she was wrong but didn't even take her phone calls, no emails because she knew she had hurt her feelings. But the two reconcile and we are a big happy family. My point if you can't make it and you are meeting friends just give a phone call to let someone know you never left we are friends and we worry too.

Surviving A Hurricane..

After living in Florida for 7 years I have learned to live and survive a hurricane. The very first hurricane I witness I was terrified. My daughters was 14,15, and I was 8 months pregnant and the hurricane was named Charlie. That year we had three other hurricanes, Francis, Ivan, and if I'm not mistaken Jean the look my girls gave me was bone chilling and I felt so helpless. They call them tropical storms for me I call them baby hurricanes. The reason for this blog on hurricanes is that I watch the news and I see we have Bonnie. To everyone in harms way my prayers are with you and stay safe.

When unemployment is no longer an option.....

I am a single mom who just as of this week umemployment is no longer an option. I have to say thanks to Kaplan I know there is still hope. I am so proud of myself for choosing to go back to school, to make it better for my daughters. I am really doing good at Kaplan, where's I have a dance I got when I see my grades(LOL). I received an very encouraging email from Kaplan today and it is awesome, I am doing it....

                                                                                                                       Good Luck,

How is school influencing my life at or up to this point?

How is school influencing my life right now, up to this point it is getting more complicated since school is out. The feeling of guilt with my six year old out of school for the summer, she just looks at me with these sad little eyes every time I am doing homework, she asked mom are you done yet. Amina is the 3rd of my 3 girls and with her sisters gone she is lonely. I am stress with trying to keep up with my assignments and keep her happy, plus hot days,car trouble,computer problems it is a bit over whelming. Tech problems with Kaplan, really it is over whelming.

Sister Kids....

OMG.... my sister is back in the hospital she is a diabetic and pregnant, so she is in and out the hospital. Etta, was admitted yesterday and I have her 8 children who all have their own charateristics and for me a mom of 3 which 2 have flown the cope, so it is just my 6 yr. old and myself this is a bit over whelming especially with on-line classes. The family has had 3 deaths in 2 months, no break from school and I don't want to complain to my sister that is in the hospital but her kids are out of controll. Alim is the 13 yr old who told me today he has beg for money, like it was o.k. to tell me that, and her 15 yr. old, lets just say she was feeling the heat and took care of it (lol). Their is no supervision with the computer, her 10 yr. old loves the computer and nobody is their to supervise her. I just pray I make it until she comes home monday.
