Girl talk with my eleven year old


Me- “So, how many boyfriends do you have?”
Angel (rolling her eyes)- “Mama!  I already told you boys only like girls that other girls think are ugly.  Boys are stupid.  My girlfriends and I just don’t get it.”
Me (grinning)- “O.k.”
Angel (blushing pink)- “There is this one boy that told me he likes me.”
Me- “I think he is [...]

Job search


I have spent the morning searching for higher paying positions in order to sponsor Vilay myself.  I have given up on Dayton and am looking in Cincinnati.  One of the jobs that appealed to me the most out of all the jobs that I have applied for is as a loan processor.  So, I will start [...]

My sweet little devil


Petite Clown wasn’t funny today. 
She was bothering her sister while I was pushing them in a grocery cart.  Petite Clown was in the front seat and Sweet Bear was in the basket of the cart.  I warned Petite Clown that she needed to stop being silly or I was going to make her walk since [...]

Happy New Year!
