Getting Behind

Well, I am getting behind on my work again. I try not to, but with work and the kids and staying up till 5 am is kind of getting to me. I didn't get to blog for Unit 4 and that took some points, but I am going to get myself caught up. Having some family issues this week. My son, Aaron, who is just 20, been married for 2 years, decided that he didn't want to be married anymore. If they both would have listened to me in the first place, they would not be in this situation. I feel bad for his wife, because she really does love him, but she has too tight of a leash on him and thats the whole problem. She tries to be his mother and he only has one mother. I want them both to be happy, but if they are not happy together, then they need to be apart. That is why I tell people not to get married. I was married for 12 years and I will never do it again. I live with someone and we are engaged, but I think that is a far as I want to go. I just hope he gets all this straightened out. I feel like a marriage counselor and I am tired of doing it.

Family

Well, I guess I can start by saying that I have a great family at home. Other than that, I have no other family that I am close to. My mom's sister died last week and I didn't even get to pay my respects. They all live in Pittsburgh and my brothers drove up and didn't even offer to take me or my kids with them. Its not about that, we could have followed them up there, but they didn't even ask. I don't drive in the city, so I could not have done it alone. But most of my family don't care about me and my kids, so I told them straight out, I am done I don't need them. I am the middle child and have always been overlooked and forgotten about, but thats fine, I have my kids and that is all that matters. My dad and stepmother haven't always seen eye to eye, but they weren't welcome to my aunt's funeral and that is sad, because families should stick together, not be torn apart. But that's ok I am fine with it. I have great friends, great kids and the boyfriend isn't too bad. I have school and work so I am good. Something else I would like to add is we bought my son Aaron tickets to a Bengals game and he went yesterday and he a blast. He was on cloud 9 and I am glad he enjoyed himself. He says he is going to go to another game. And I know that my other family don't appreciate me, but I know my kids do and I enjoy doing things for my kids.

My Life

As you all have read my profile, I five children, 4 boys and 1 girl. She just had a birthday in Aug, she is 5 now. The oldest child that is living at home, turns 16 next Friday. How time flies, he will be wanting to drive and all the good stuff. I am not ready for that, I guess I am getting old. This is the second time I have taken this class, I did not do so well the first time, so hopefully I do better this time. I have trouble starting homework, I just keep putting if off til the last minute and I need to stop doing that. I think I am getting better at it. I am not the best writer, either, sometimes its hard for me to put things I want to say into words. My oldest son, Bobby, who is 24, helps me quite a bit with all my homework. He is the smart, creative one in the family. My other son, Aaron, is the athletic one of the bunch, he is taking his GED classes now and doing well, he never was much into school, but since has been out, he does a lot better. He turned 20 in March. Ryan, the almost 16 year old, is into his computer and PS3, he is also a smart one, but he thinks he is dumb. I think he is just lazy. Sammy is the 7 yr. old, and he is going to be the entertainer. He likes to sing and dance and Abigail is the spoiled one, imagine that one. I think she is the rotten one out of the bunch. She gets into everything, but that's ok, she is the baby. I work in a restaurant, I have for 11 yrs. and its time for me to find something better. Well that is my life. Working, going to school and kids, sometimes I do go out and have some fun.
