Things have been so crazy here. Angel is suspended today for being marked absent too many times in the morning class. She's not really ever absent she just misses roll call so it's absent/tardy. She was supposed to go to Saturday detention and never told me so she's suspended today. Grr! That kid, I tell you what but really she's not bad - in fact, she's a pretty good daughter to have tardy or not. She's also still growing like a weed, if it's not her hair down to her tush it's her legs up to her neck... *sigh*
The work thing hasn't changed. I did talk to my "Mom" yesterday after church and I told her about my idea to take online courses for medical billing, I really want to be a stay at home Mom right now. After all, Angel isn't going to be around forever and I want her to remember me as a good Mom, not the Mom who was always at work. I think it's a good idea, I really really want to do this, what do you think?
Valentine's day is coming up, I am pretty excited. I am going to make the traditional pink heart shaped pancakes for the kiddo because she likes those so much. I think I am going to buy a case of Sweethearts too so she can give them out at school and some deflated heart shaped balloons (need to use that helium tank in my closet.)
Let's see, what else? I've mostly just been taking care of the house. This time off has been nice, I feel more centered being at home. I forgot that when I was growing up all I ever wanted to be was a Mom, someone who was always there to cook breakfast, comfort a cold and just love my child. I really think if anything I am only going to take a part time job in some tiny place and concentrate on the online courses. I want to be here for my daughter until she finally decides to leave home (God forbid.)
Anyway, that about wraps it up. Take care and don't forget to write me back and tell me how you have been!
Love always,
Linda
