as i promised…

 here’s the rest of the update… 

let’s see so i talked about bub & dad’s health….and sort of touched on working…. so i guess i’ll start with that. Back in September, Jess & I realized that we made less money as a type A daycare center than we did as both of us being type B and in our own homes. So we split the kids down the middle… well the parents choose who they went with, but we divided the kids up and I’ve been doing pretty well here at the house with the kids. Since that decision, I have made another decision, and terminated my certification to go completely private pay. Which didn’t effect any of my parents because they were all private pay anyway. There was just too much paperwork and stuff that had to be done that took my time away from the kids, so I made a list of pros and cons and decided that being certified was more of a hassle for me and the parents than it was worth… so here I am with 7.5 kids on the roster and two more to be added hopefully. One of my parents is preggers, so she had 2.5 kiddos lol. I just got good news lol.. one of my parents got the new job she interviewed for…so her little one will be going to full time status in a couple weeks once she starts the new job! sweet for her and sweet for me 🙂

personal life, well that’s pretty much still going no where…. I have a friend, and he’s in prison…i won’t go into all the details right now about what he’s in for, because it’s rather complicated… but we’re close, and I think mainly we are close because he really has nothing else to do but write and with the writing i get what he is truely thinking about, all his thoughts and emotions and it’s something i’ve never really had with any guy, relationship wise or friend wise… i don’t think there is anything more than a deep friendship between us, it’s just so raw and different from any other type of friendship i’ve had. in the beginning i honestly thought i feel for him as in love, but i realized that it was just from the lack of that type of connection that got my feelings all twisted up. but so you might be hearing a bit more about him, but i don’t know if i want to share him yet. 

malachai is doing great. there is so much that she is into with her parades and social schedule, i swear she has a better social life than i do lol. she has been on the merit honor roll all year long, and she’s just such a social butterfly that she is comfortable in any place or situation she goes into. i can’t believe she will be 8 in less than two months… it’s crazy insane… i feel sooooo old and i just don’t want her to be 8! 

harlie and zoey have a new sister…her name is addyson grace… i honestly don’t know if i wrote about her in the 3 journals i did last year… yeah only 3… i swear i’m horrible at keeping up with this… but anyway, they are all doing pretty good… my sister and her hubby are having issues, but i won’t go into all of those… i honestly thing they jumped into marriage way too soon… but that’s just my opinion… i’ve never been married, so i don’t know what a typical marriage is like in the beginning years… maybe they will figure it all out. I hope so.

my biological father passed away this year… 9 days after my birthday… now i know this might sound cold to you all but i’m truly okay… i mean he and i weren’t all that close for years… when i say dad, my step-dad is who everyone thinks of… but i do mourn him in my own way, just not the sappy, teary eyed way his side of the family thinks i should be. my sister and my uncle took it the hardest, but life will go on…and eventually they will come to terms with it. 

school is still on hold, but i am paying on my bill and eventually i’ll be back into school… i haven’t given up on my degree…but i do have some thinking to do on it… i’m really thinking about transfering to another school to finish it… i really don’t think i like the curriculum of my current school…and the school i’m looking at has a few more added classes but i really like how their program is designed. 

well i hate to end this now, but i have to get ready for a couple of my kiddos to get here and get afternoon snack ready… more later, i promise… i will update this at least weekly… hopefully every few days… plus i just became a lifetime member, so i really should update more lol….
