Today was a great day!

 I got to spend time with my babies children after what has felt like a lifetime. Thank you God!! They have gotten caught up on their school work and are projected to finish the year on time. My daughter has decided to start looking into colleges/universities that have marine biology programs. She is in 6th grade. I hope this new drive toward achieving scholastic excellence sticks around.
My ex and I are FINALLY on civil terms with each other...for now. KNOCK ON WOOD!!

 I got a call for an interview from a store (don't want to jinx it) that will be opening locally very soon. It is a definite change of pace for me, but still within my comfort zone. It could be FANTASTIC for us if they have a good employee discount. FINGERS CROSSED! They have great hours... for being retail. I am so excited but trying not to get my hopes up because I don't want to jinx it. I definitely can't wait until Thursday!!

The girls were full of drama today and decided to start a bunch of foolishness at the house. Damn, I missed it! The police were called though and in the end they took them all away to wherever it is they were going. Tomorrow morning they come back for the last of their things, then it's SO LONG! SAYONARA!!
No more drama in the house means my sweet hunny can start enjoying spending time with me in what will be our house. PEACE & QUIET. STRESS FREE.

I saw this beauty on the side of the road, just around the corner from the house, while hurrying home to make sure no drama caused problems for my mother. After all was said and done I hustled back over and YAY! it was still there. I have big plans for this baby.

I sure hope the positive changes keep rolling my way. I'm just not meant to be an unhappy person.  #StillBreathingandBelieving  #ThisHappyChick

My aunt treated us to dinner tonight for my cousin's birthday. I was afraid with the new job that I was going to have to miss out. So glad things worked out that I got to go. We had a great night...even if I did have to send my steak back twice. Cringe!! They wound up comping my meal. 

My little brother is insane. Just ignore him. We all do. LOL!

I don't think my cousin will forget this birthday.

         Happy Birthday Rie!!!

Coming soon... okay at least by the end of summer.

Our house is going to be FREAKING AMAZING!! I am so in love with it already. Now I just have to wait for the current tenants to vacate the premises.

This is what happens when I supervise yard work. TaDa!! Kitty face.

First official "Operation Wardrobe Expansion" purchase made for the boyfriend yesterday.

Windows are open and so far it looks like a beautiful day ahead. Also, good things are in the works for today. #staytuned

Got my dress. Got my shoes. Got my guy. Wedding tomorrow.
