Trials, Tribulations, and Blessings

      Today I have manage to get most of my Unit 2 done for both of my classes.  I will start on Unit 3 Sunday because of my trip to Pigeon Forge.  It is nice that I am finally able to plan a vacation and follow through with actually going. I am sad that do to unemployment (for a year now) I won't have much to go up there with but my boyfriend has decided he wants to pay for everything which is a little weird for me.  

     Life for me, has been tough in the last three years.  I have been fired because the employer hired a girl I trained that was there for one year.  They told me i had to many days out, which is funny because they approved the days as sick days.  Also the girl had more days out than me and no call ins within that one year she was there.  After we lost the house (evicted), lost my dog (sheba), moved in with my grandma, aunt and cousin (which was heck on earth), and then found out my grandma lied about not needing dialysis, she had a mild heart attack, stroke and have to take dialysis three times a week.  I have endured a lot of hurt from family members, and just constant stress. I know I am 25 no kids.  I shouldn't have a worry in the world but I care to much for my family and I am the person that kind of cares for others more than myself.  The last of the bad news is the cutting of my mom's time and pay, maybe losing the house she is trying so hard to buy instead of rent, my baby sister hurting me the most, and my dog being diagnosed with heart worms. 

 

     The good thing is I am still alive, and well, and so is my family and friends.  I am finally back in school and doing good with a 3.81 GPA.  We did move out of my grandma's house and into another, the one that is hanging on by strings now, and my dog is not being effected by the heart worms.  Oh, my boyfriend.  We finally started dating last year after years of knowing each other.  He is still my best friend.  I am a very optimistic up beat person.  I try make every one happy and keep the peace.   But these three years have worn me down.  I know many people have worst stories than me, and no one can truely say you know how that person feels.

     I again say I like the idea of a blog.  I am a very private person and at first I didn't want to share.  But the difference is this is school and we are all adults, either younger or wiser.  This helps to tell someone else that won't be bias to what I say, and like a diary I was able to release my feelings to the pages, but with this can come wisdom, and encouragement, or tough love comments from mature people.

Next time....a happy post, and a old poem I wrote........
