Since I’m catching you up on the past I guess I should let you know what’s going now right,
Derrr Missy!
Well I’ll just start month by month for now since I’m coming to the halfway pt in school & have to upkeep 2 other blogs for assignments, bear with me. I may keep one up though b/c it’s actually kind of fun writing about my “other” work.

Who…let’s see how much I can remember – believe me that’s an accomplishment in itself.
January:
Started off with my youngest, Malik, in the hospital, he was running a fever on New Years. Then he wouldn’t eat for a couple of days so we decided on the ER (holiday season-ughh). It turned out better than we thought, him & the hospital visit. Usually it takes hrs just to be seen and hrs to get treated. FYI: he has to go every time he gets a fever b/c he has the less severe form of Sickle Cell, so it’s a precaution thing. But yea he got antibiotics & nausea meds, hr later he was eating everything in sight; plus we went almost immediately back and treated. POINT for the new town! (Still trying to convince DUDE the move was worth it! – another story).
The boys & I went back to school.
I had a resume' interview w/the new school district (went AWESOME!!) and met some cool & inspiring people! & Got some tips to increase my “desirability” as a candidate lol.
Decided to take a test (that put a dent in the mth budget – ugh) to get certified in Art K-12- extremely nerve-wrecking! But that would be my IDEAL job <3 it!
Left me w/2weeks to prepare in the midst of a major Lit. Review, movie & blog assignments; I apparently like to back myself into a wall lol – at least its support :)
Got all that done & a cram session 2 days before the test! Got to the, 2 hrs away, location w/2 mins to spare (which was used to run back to the car for ID lol).
PASSED IT!!! Go me! Now we wait…
Dude aka my bf; JB had his birthday, and Tristan (nephew) but couldn’t afford to do anything – not even a card :( , was happy just to relax for the day so...

Continue to stretch the budget since Xmas, unexpected bills, & the test put a strain on us…story of our life so we’ll manage, we're use to it.
More job searching, assignments, school routine w/boys and waiting…
Mom had surgery on her foot & down for 12 weeks at the most :( have to go visit soon
Jarvis’ bday on the 28th – sigh- RIP brother (my oldest of 5) ; not a day goes by!!

Got a call to possibly work on a project to illustrate a book, hopefully something comes from that…we’ll see. Both newbies so it’s going to take some work.
Missing my sissy :( & her fam!!!! (fill you in on that soon too- it’s def a story 2 be told).

That’s been my January, let’s hope February is a little more…something…anything positive, I guess, not complaining though – it can always be worse & always grateful for how far I’ve come…go me!
Right now: writing this blog, about to finish my last vid/blog assignment for my mth4 class & listening to Malik sing along to Pink Friday lol – don’t judge us lol, we’re just getting in party mode to clean & get things done! The playlist will slowly go from that to Glee soundtracks to Mike Posner, Ella Fitz, Katy Perry, Lyfe Jennings, Corinne Bailey Rae, Cher and a continuous odd mix of “ooohkay…” lol. JB thinks I’m weird, I call it well rounded – Thank U!
Next couple of days…we’ll see, plan to be routine but if anything comes up you’ll be the first to know…see you in Feb, unless I get more time to blog!
XO
