It’s Raining Lions and Hyenas!

Forget “When it rains, it pours” and forget “It’s raining cats and dogs!”

My daughter and I finished her Science Fair project and I couldn’t even go because I had a quiz in Statistics that I failed. I should have just missed the quiz!

Another reason I couldn’t make the Fair was because of my Management class and how he’s adamant with checking our names on the roll like we’re in 3rd grade. He didn’t even check the roll.

Oh, ANOTHER reason why I should have just stayed home is because I woke up happy, THEN my period comes. Periods are painfully sweet, yanno? It’s a sweet to find out you’re not pregnant by enduring pain. So, while enduring this pain, I had to walk what seemed like 5 miles to class and then back.

Oh it gets BETTER!.

I get to work, clock out for lunch and the truck WON’T start. I figured it was nothing and just ate at the cafe inside the building. I clock out to go home and the truck STILL won’t start. It takes me 30 mins to find the number to Roadside Rescue with Sprint. AAA comes and they say it could be the battery or the fuel pump. I had to get the truck towed home. The worst feeling in the world is the go to bed hungry because you can’t drive to the store and get something to eat or open your fridge because you haven’t bought groceries. The irony is that I had planned on going after I got off from work. FML!

I couldn’t even go and pick up C.W. because his car needs a radiator which marks a week since the last time we’ve seen each other. Everything is getting in the way of us. Is this a sign?

I took a cab to work this morning. I made it in the parking lot at 8:04 AM and I was supposed to be at work for 8:00 AM. Thank God for the 7 minute grace period. Sorta. I had to run up 6 flights of stairs JUST to make it on time. FML, AGAIN!

So, why am I still smiling? Why am I still happy? Your guess is as good as mine!

There’s a bunch of other shit that has occurred early this week that I care not to mention because of that exact reason — I DO NOT CARE. I’m STILL standing! I am amazed at my strength! Just call me Wonder Woman. Hell, even Superwoman will suffice!!!!!!!!

And it begins…

..the assignments, the projects, the quizzes, the homework, the sleepless nights, the days without enough time, the nights without enough time for sleep, the private calls, the continous nonsense with my son’s father, me not keeping in touch with the new “boo” because of all of the above…

I definitely need to do better. My focus is definitely where it needs to be–my children, school, and work. I’m trying to make time for C.W. but I really don’t have the energy. He hasn’t started complaining yet but he has called me EVERYDAY this week, continuously (I don’t mind) and I have not answered. I want to, but I’m sleep or too tired. Maybe this weekend we can spend some time together. I had to take off Tuesday JUST to get some rest in which I wasn’t too successful. I’m supposed to be resting now before I pick up the children from daycare but I’m “researching” things on Network Topology which isn’t due until next Tuesday. Who knows what will happen until then or how much I will forget. This week has not been a good week for me. I can’t wait until I get settled in my new place and be able to relax. Moving at the beginning of the semester was definitely NOT a good idea.

3 BR/2.5 TH — sm yrd — all appl incl.

Yep! You have read correctly. I have moved into a 3BR/2.5 BA Townhouse and I absolutely love it. I love it so much that I’m actually interested in making this my first “home” purchase. The owner is adamant in selling the unit real soon so just as God has blessed me with this find, maybe it was for future satisfaction as well. If you have read my post Humble Abode?, you can understand how I can move after only 6 months of occupancy. Wouldn’t a $562 water bill be your determination to GTF? C.W. came by and helped me move my bed in. (Of course, right? LOL) He was also impressed and asked me what I was going to do with all the space. I’m still trying to figure that out. He’s coming by today to accent a few of the living room walls, and the wall by the fireplace.

@Bella Rose He’s definitely a sweetheart!

The pictures below were taken on my shitty phone so please excuse the quality until I charge my Sony Mavica. *hehe

The living room/dining room –

My room–

My bathroom–

I still have to get photos of the kitchen, which is small but provides enough space for what I need to do, the staircase, my daugher’s room and her walk in closet, my son’s room, their bathroom, the back yard&patio, the 1/2 bath and the other portion of my bathroom. I was just so taken by the construction of MY bedroom that I went a little crazy with the pictures and my phone only holds 35 pictures. I’m still taken by the large bathroom AND two walk-in closets! BOW!

As far as decorating goes, I’ve set a $1000 budget since I’m paying the rent in advance for the term of my lease which is 3 months. Maybe afterwards, I’ll consider purchase. That’s such a big decision but since the offer has presented itself, why not take advantage of it while I can with the stipends from school? Ehh, we’ll see. I’ll add more quality pictures later! Also, you all are welcome to purchase items from my decor compilation via walmart.com! LMAO! #justsaying..
