Hi there, it's me again... Oh you already knew that didn't ya? Anyway, life here has been rather busy and I know many of you would love to know what exactly I have been up to.

So I will dedicate this post to catching up... and try to cover as much as I can.

Let's start with the kids...

Ellie is retaking 1st grade. She was extremely immature last year so I decided to hold her back. So far she is making progress. They have put her in special programs for most of the day to improve her reading and writing and math skills. She requires alot of extra attention to keep her in line. She is very hyper active.

Karin, now that is a story in it's self. She is getting ready to turn 9 and she acts just like Star. She has the preteen attitude and makes life crazy. She is constantly arguing with one of her siblings. I know it's just a stage but it's a bitch. I tend to send her to her room a lot which means she screams that everyone hates her... we don't hate her... we just don't want to put up with her acting up...

Dylan, My little man... the quiet child is emerging into his own. He just spent the last month grounded because he left the house, lied about where he was going then didn't come home til 1am... I could have beaten his ass! Instead I grounded him. Today is his 1st day out since then and here it is 7pm; way after dark and he isn't home yet.... he will be grounded again if his asses don�t get here soon. He is doing fairly well in school. 6th grade... man I can't believe he is almost a teen.

Star... my rebellious child... The BF just got out of juvie after 3 weeks. She is over there now. She left x-mas eve and now she isn't coming home again tonight. I can't wait 4 him to go to his mom's 6 hrs away! I can't stand that boy. He is a mess... She is home schooling again. She takes 1 class at the high school. But she isn't keeping up again... big surprise I know... I plan to make some really big changes come the 1st...

Now that I've covered the kids... lets cover more personal matters... "MEN"

David is still in prison, I see him when I can but not near enough to make things better. we have been writing a lil more but still nothing like we use to. I seldom get to talk to him on the phone, so I miss his voice... Communication is slacking which leads to the next male in my life...

My newest attraction... I won't disclose the name here but will say that he is amazing. He is very intelligent. He is 3 classes from a double bat degree in history and political science. We share many similarities and he is slowly stealing my heart. I have been taking things as slow as possible even though my mind wonders into the future hoping that this grows into something larger. I could see a future with this man. Besides being intelligent he is also extremely romantic. as I said yesterday, You can catch that portion under creative fantasys "Utopian Experience".

As for Michael... well he has been in the bi-polar down stage for three months. Yes he lives here but we are more like roommates instead of lovers. I think if finances were better I'd just call it quits.. I mean it's obvious that I am not happy w/ him... I just feel stuck. And he doesn't have anywhere to go if I threw him out anyway....

School... well it starts again Jan 3rd. I can't wait. All last quarter I was burned out. Now I'm back to being excited about going. You can check out my scores each quarter by clicking on my grades above on the left hand side.

Health... Well I'm alive... I suppose that is good enough...

That basically covers it.... I'll write more later...

Brightest Blessings,
