I’ve come to terms with myself that parenthood, school, and work is taking a toll on me health-wise. Lately, I’ve been extremely tired and lifeless when it comes to executing what I would normally do. I’ve missed a week of school because of a really bad cold due to this cold weather and Iyanna has been late for school because of my apathy. Graduation is not too far away and that fact alone gives me the motivation to want to go to school but my body just won’t give in to my scholarship. I need some vitamins. Or maybe I just need another prescription of FeoSol. My doctor’s appointment isn’t coming soon enough.
March 2, 2010 will mark a year of me being at my current job. As a result, I’ll get to take a well-deserved vacation for a week. Hopefully this weekend, if the weather permits, Iyanna, Imari and I will go someplace fun and exciting. Our plans to go to the zoo have been postponed because of the Saints winning the NFC Championship, then winning the Super Bowl, then Mardi Gras, and the Jay Z, Trey Songz, and Young Jeezy concert. So, I’ll just continue to save my money until New Orleans is a little less visited in March.
Maybe Monkey Biz this weekend..

I said I was going to take the kids on an outing. However, after my sickness and my son’s asthma attack, we’re just going stay inside. Maybe later tonight I’ll feel well enough to take the kids to Monkey Biz. Even C.W. asked to tag along. This guy is a winner!
Here are the pictures of Iyanna and her Science Fair project “Egg in a Bottle”.
Here’s more of the Townhouse:

He called. We talked. Why do I feel like a little breezy in love? He explained that he had been trying to get in touch with me all weekend. I forgot all about my phone being dead and me leaving the charger at work. That’s one thing I miss about Cingular. I would have quickly switched my sim card. Anyways, he seemed like he was in a more joyous mood. Hearing his voice makes me melt… Can somebody please bust my bubble? LOL. I’m too happy!
[/EDIT]
I haven’t talked to “the old friend” (C.W.) since it happened. I don’t want to seem like a nuisance by calling him so I sent him a text message explaining that if he ever needed me, I’ll be there for him. I truly meant it. But, I didn’t get a reply back which was expected. Maybe I’ll call later or maybe I’ll just wait for him to come around. If we were meant to be, we’ll cross paths again like we did unknowingly. As I said before, there was always a soft spot within me for him. I think there always will be.
School is starting this week. Yay! Well, not really but it also means I’ll be closer to graduation. I’m excited about the semester and my focus is really on point. Last semester, I was on the Dean’s List and that just made me want to do better. I almost cried when my mom expressed how proud she was of me. It’s not like I’ve never made the honor roll or the Dean’s List. Hell, I’ve been doing that all my life. But, she said what really made her happy was the fact that I was able to balance it all. Hell, I even surprised myself. Balancing working full-time, going to school full-time, and being a mother full-time is definitely not a cake walk. But, at the end of the day, I’m proud that the “bigger picture” remains within my view. If all goes as I plan, I will be graduating Fall 2010 or Spring 2011. I get all emotional when I think about it.
