New Dreams for a New Future

I've lived my life so long without hope of achieving my dreams, and it feels amazing to have shed that weight finally! I have made the decision to reach out and grab the success that I know is in front of me. Even though there are tough days, I keep the vision of my future in the forefront of my mind, and it is a constant inspiration. No more will I allow the disbelief of others or pessimism of well-meaning family and friends to keep me from attaining the level of success in my life that I feel capable of. I am anxious to share the taste of freedom with my children and husband, and to be a shining example of hard work and sastisfied goals for my little ones. If I want them to go for their dreams, I need to show them anything is possible. This is my new measuring tool for success: that I have done everything possible to reach my goals and share my dreams with my family!

Crazy Friday

Sometimes I wonder how I get myself into so many commitments, and then I turn around and commit to something else! Oh well, this is my crazy life and I love it just the way it is. So today, not only do I have homework and a lab due, and a quiz sometime before Sunday night, but I also have the house to get ready for tonight and calls to make to confirm party reservations. And oh yes, I need to leave the house twice today to go get my kids from school. Did I mention I also need to do some laundry and plan a dinner of sorts? Lol, I make myself laugh!

One of these free evenings (yeah, right), I also need to finish my story for my writing school and send it in to my instructor for review. Attending two different schools is almost over, since I only have six more months to go on the writing school. I'm really excited to almost be graduated from one of them!

Ok, so off I go.....somebody catch up to me later and bring me a glass of iced tea, would ya?
