A rough day

I love what I do I love working with kids watching their minds grow but sometimes it can be tough they all have individualized personalities and want to be heard a lot of times all at the same time no matter how many times you might tell them raise your hand and wait your turn Johnny Joe is talking they still well yell out and let it be known what they have to say is of the utmost importance even if no one hears them because everybody is doing the exact same thing.

Today was one of those days and as I sit here thinking about it I chuckle a little bit because I know that it is just because they desire to feel important and be heard no matter how much is going on around them and that is the most important thing to them. As kids grow they are so involved in everything that sometimes we forget that they are still little and developing and learning as they move along through this thing called life and we have to take the time out to sit down and really listen for them to express whatever concerns they have that’s going on in their world.

That’s one of the reasons why I love what I do even if sometimes I leave out with my head pounding I still remember they are such a great part of my life to watch them grow and learn and explore the world around them and I am so grateful to be a part of it. Then I can try to remember the headache I was at their age and how my teacher was when she left going home after dealing with me on a day-to-day basis. Happy Thursday TBT.

I am always interested

I love adventure and exploring the world around me I enjoy being happy and trying new things weather it be food, adventure parks, sight seeing, or meeting new people I am always interested in making life the best it can be.

I find myself looking for new avenues to build wealth and help people understand that everyone needs help every now and then. I am working really hard to get back in school and finish my degree up and move forward with my life of working with children giving them a love of learning. Starting at birth to 5 years.

I am excited to travel around the world and see how other countries teach and help their children grow into productive young men and women it’s a wonderful thing to see children grow and learn anyway happy Wednesday. What have you always been interested in let’s chat about it? Money, relationship, passion,sex, friendship, travel,men, women, what?

A good day

I work with 5th graders today and they are kind of hard head they want what they want when they want them sometimes they are combative but I think that’s only because they are used to having leniency and getting their way. I enjoy watching them learn and try to maneuver their way around doing what they’re supposed to do instead of getting done all that they can accomplish if they would just get right to their work.

Sometimes when they’re all trying to talk at the same time to convey something that they feel is of the utmost important which mainly is to keep from doing whatever the assignment is I find myself saying multiple times to turn around sit back stop talking to your neighbor let’s focus on our work wow still trying not to chuckle under my breath because of how they’re so insistent on being heard that they will continue to evade doing the work no matter what it will cost them and free time later. I absolutely loved working with them wouldn’t trade them for the world it is the joy of my life.

I also found out my daughter is okay and I am happy about that as well even if she is just as stubborn as these young ones I work with she still comes out okay in the end. Happy Monday. I also completed my meal prep for the week so I have my shrimp with cheese sauce with some bow ties with chicken in a honey mustard sauce and macaroni with green beans and a cheese sauce came out really good happy with that meal eating healthy to help me function and stay well anyway good night.

Happy Friday

Today was a good day I got out there’s some things I needed to do and enjoyed my day I hope all of you enjoy your day as well celebrate the people you love because tomorrow is not promised life is too short so live it to the fullest and enjoy every moment of it love those around you I love yourself always remember put what’s important first and the rest will fall into place have a great night.

Happy veterans Day

My brother Ben Junior is a veteran and my niece La’Keha is a veteran as well I am very proud of the two of them they served this country well I remember when my brother joined he was right out of high school and was leaving to boot camp my family and I went down to watch him graduate it was a proud day to see him he looks so handsome and we were so happy to be there we always supported each other when we did something great no matter how small.

When he went to Iraq it was a scary time for us didn’t know if you would make it back but wasn’t afraid because we knew if we kept the faith and supported him through it he would make it back home to us and he did he even did the reserves after he got out of active duty him and my knees both where in the Navy I’m proud of the both of them and I’m glad that they served this country well I had a desire to go into the service but did not make it because other plans were made instead.

Enjoy the rest of your holiday

Unexpected visitors

Today I had a pretty long day I was really tired and drained from dealing with very creative excited and overzealous 4th graders so by the time I was leaving the school I was exhausted. But that didn’t stop me from still leaving there to come home to a bright and happy face that I was glad to see.

When I left the school I had to do my usual routine picking up my charge and then heading to the house when I got here that bright smile greeted me at my gate I couldn’t do anything but cheese from ear-to-ear it was my youngest daughter I was really really happy to see her she had brought her two Siberian Huskies beautiful dogs and in tow she had my 6 month old grandson and her handsome boyfriend

I couldn’t do anything but smile because this was my first time holding touching kissing my grandbaby and the dogs were so friendly and pretty a boy and a girl I was really happy to have them here anyway that was the joy of my day good night.

Me and my grandson

Happy Friday it’s raining

Today is Friday November 5th 2021 I took my puppy outside I didn’t like that too much because it’s raining and the rain just makes you cold and uncomfortable I use to love to play in the rain as a child because in New Jersey when it rain it would get pitch black dark and you would see thunder and lightning and the rain would just pour and pour and pour it was always fun to just run through the rain.

When I got older and move to California the rain wasn’t so fun anymore because it was always uncomfortable made your clothes feel weird and sticky so I stopped going out in the rain especially after my mom fell on the bus and broke her leg in three places had a cast all the way up to her waist because it was raining and the bus what’s really wet and she slipped and fell.

I try not to come out in the rain too much because traffic be crazy people drive different and you always have to be extra extra cautious just to stay safe. I really miss those times as a child happy and just not worried about anything coming towards me in a negative way. Sometimes adulting is very difficult but when you have peace of mind it’s always worth it. Enjoy the rest of y’alls day!

Raining over here

Still in this everyday

I struggle everyday to get up and go I suffer from depression and anxiety and it’s hard for me to function in the world some days are harder than others I wonder why I’m still here and other days I have crazy bursts of energy where I want to go and go and go and not stop. I can’t remember the last time I slept through the night.

It doesn’t help that I spent an enormous amount of time alone without a lot of friends out here in Florida things are different out here. The best place I can remember is my street in Trenton New Jersey I know it’s not the same as when I was growing up but the camaraderie and the love that we all have for each other I haven’t felt or seen that anywhere else I have lived since we moved from there back in the 80s.

California was a whole different beast it was the first place we lived where you didn’t know your neighbors and everybody was very individualized it was so different but we were the same always loving supportive of whoever we was around that type of magnetic personality that made you want to be around us. I love the way my family has been throughout my life I wouldn’t be who I am today had they not been who they were as I was growing up. We did so many things together growing up traveling going places seeing stuff I’ll never forget how my mom opened us up to seeing the United States in a different light it’s a great thing when you have a parent who doesn’t mind traveling. I would have never been exposed to the things I was exposed to had my mom not done the things she’s done. I appreciate her a lot I wish I would have kept her traditions up like that conventions and the campground my kids will be different people had I done that.

I wouldn’t have been so open to moving to other states or exploring out of the country had my mom not showed me how big this world is. There are so many things that I still have to do in this world that I know that I want to do and won’t quit until I do. Have a great Tuesday. If you can travel as much as you can cause this is a big world that needs to be explored.

He says I’m a narcissist

I was having a conversation with husband last night and he told me I was a narcissist and that I think about myself always first it’s crazy. Because I always put other people first I have been told that to many times.

When I got with him his very first statement out of his mouth was he comes first he is always first place so from that point on I realized that (with him) I have to put myself first cause he will never look out for my best interest.

Then I find out he feels men need more then one women to be happy and that he feels this is biblical it’s crazy especially when he has never read the Bible. I was taught to follow the man that follows God how do I follow someone who is clearly the opposite of a godly man that will lead me to clearly to destruction do I ignore my morals and go with the flow or do I keep praying that he finds his way.

I know I’m not a narcissist and I definitely know he is and the way I am with him is a direct result of his treatment of me over time. I just hope he finds his way before it’s too late and he finds himself in a problem he can’t get out of. Anyway good morning guys have a wonderful Wednesday.

Sunday Vibes

Today started out pretty good I woke up late in the morning went to pick up my meds and then came back home. To a man that always feels the things he says are simple when everything he says or ask is always a prelude to something way more sinister and taxing but he doesn’t ever see it that way so I’m always left with feelings of inadequacy or like I’ve caused a problem when I haven’t.

Then he’ll attach it to something else that has nothing to do with the subject at hand like he did me a favor by doing something when in the end he was the one that got the pleasure out of it, it’s crazy but I don’t get upset I’m used to it by I know I shouldn’t be because it’s not normal. I’m working on working through things and getting myself together so that I can be the best me possible.

I’m learning to enjoy my life even if I have to do that alone because my peace of mind is the most important to me and living my life the best way that I can is to me the best thing that I can do for myself and my family. Have a great Sunday you guys.
