It's Been A While

It's been so long since I have written here but so much has happened that I am ashamed to admit that I hadn't had time for my poor little blog. I want to update you on my boring little life because...well...I know you care. (lol)

WORK:
I have a real job. A career. That I'm enjoying. I work for the State of Texas (can't tell you what) and it's something that I have wanted for quite some time now. Things had to happen in God's order for that to come to fruition and there it is! I struggled for awhile but He had this job waiting for me. It just had to be the right time. And looking back, it was the perfect time. In a couple of months, the job will be mobile meaning I will be working from home. Say whaaaat? Talk about convenience. Doing my work in my pajamas. Using my own toilet. Going up the street to my daughter's school to eat lunch with her. Benefits are amazing and while I won't get "stupid rich" working at this place, the salary fits my low-maintenance lifestyle. It works for me. I am blessed. 

HOME:
Finally got my own digs again. I'm very happy about it. Moved in during mid-August so I plan to finish unpacking by New Years. Yes. You read that right. It's in a nice, fairly quiet neighborhood. It's so nice to come home to your own. From January to mid-August, I missed that feeling. I am blessed.

OFFSPRING:
My daughter. My precocious, sarcastic, funny, dramatic, beautiful, intelligent, big-hearted, sensitive little 6-year old. She's a 1st grader at one of the best elementary schools in the district. She's doing really well. So far, she's a straight-A student. Her teacher says that she is one of her strongest readers in the class. Her teacher also says that she likes to help out around class. She gets it honestly; her mom's a social worker! My kid cracks me up with her on-beat humor and honest yet innocent way of thinking. Once I can tame the social butterfly within her, she'll be the perfect student. I'm so proud of her and I am blessed. 

LOVE LIFE:
Haha. 

SEX:
Nonexistent.

POETRY:
Still a'writing. Not performing anymore though for my own personal reasons but I do miss sharing my poems with people. I write my poems on my Facebook page: Constant Truth and on other poetry websites. I'm thankful for the internet because in person, I don't have anyone I can share my poetry with but that fact doesn't sting as much as it initially did. 

I have nothing more to say at this moment. My life has its ups and downs but I try hard to focus on the positives. Friends, real ones, are few and far between. People grow apart. It happens. As a Cancer, I try to value my relationships but when things are one-sided, I have to do like Mariah Carey and fly...like a Butterfly. However, I'm gaining new relationships at my place of employment and I am very happy about that. I'm content with the path my life is going and I have to thank God for it. Good things come to those who wait and I've been waiting a long time.
