BeYOUtiful with AVON

Today was first grade's award ceremony and it went wonderful! They all sang in sync with eachother and they all loved the awards they received. I loved looking at their faces as they came up to me to get their certificates. They are such precious little angels! I'm really excited to see what next year brings me and I'm bummed about the thought of getting my room ready for the summer. They are painting this summer which means I have to take EVERYTHING off the walls...not cool! I'm hoping to enlist the help of some friends wink, wink... I'm at home right now, just got out of the shower...I got pretty stinky doing Wii Fit-It rocks! I love seeing my BMI go down! Goal: to lose 10 more lbs. Then I'll be at the weight I would like to be. The way I see it, I've lost 30...what's another 10?? I'm really excited about that. I feel like a new person! My confidence level has shot way up and I'm feeling good about what I see in the mirror. Brand...

So today will mark a milestone for me and Brandon...I'm taking him to a cookout with my dad's family! Talk about baptism by fire LOL!! It's gonna be at my uncle Billy's so I know it will be a blast! I told him I hoped he liked frog legs!! As for me...I'm hoping they dont' scare him off!! ;-) The more time I spend with his family, the more I realize that we had the same upbringing...good ol' country living. It's very cool! I was at his house lastnight til about 1 this morning just hanging out and talking...his mom several times said "yeah, she's gonna fit right in with this family" I'm so happy! I have 4 days of school left and then it's summertime!! Of course, I'll be teaching classes at the library...but it's DEFINITELY worth it for the $$. I'm starting to get sick of living with my NANA but at the same time enjoy paying off my debt. I hope to be out of it soon... I'm also thankful that my ex-husband ha...

So...I only have 5 days of school left and then it's back to the summer job! I'm really excited though! The library has been good to me and has allowed me to do some awesome work with the kids in Frankfort. I'm gonna miss my kids though. It's so sad to think but I really love them like my own. They are so sweet and have helped me learn a lot about tolerance and life in general. They have my heart!

I am headed to North Carolina this weekend to see my baby!!! I'm so super excited! So...I've lost some patience with waiting til Friday...so I'm taking Thursday off too! LOL!! It will be so wonderful to be in Brandon's arms again. I can't explain how serene and perfect it feels. So now I have to come up with sub plans for Thurs. Fri. and Mon. The way I see it, I deserve a break!! Today at work Wiggles started laughing at me...I asked what was up and he just replied "I can't believe how sappy you guys are!" Yeah I guess we are a bit sappy but it works for us. It's really cool to be with someone that cares for you as deeply as you care for them. I don't have to settle anymore! In other news...Brandon's mom and I are talking more! That makes me so happy but a little scared at the same time. I don't want her to think I'm a weirdo...but I like getting to know her better. She called me lastnight to say thank you for the Mother...

It's funny how stuff just happens for you! You come home and realize your husband's girlfriend is at your house...you file for divorce (still waiting)...and then, amazingly...you find love!! I just wanted to make record of the wild and crazy, but satisfying ride my life has been on since August. August 2007 -He tells me he doesn't love me anymore, he's not attracted to me anymore, and he doesn't want to have kids (which we'd been trying to accomplish for the past 6 months) -We sleep in two separate bedrooms and talk only on random occasions...like roommates that hate eachother -I begin talking to my good friend's cousin who is in the USMC. He wants us to meet but like every other woman in the world, I'm holding out hope that my husband will get off his high horse and want to be with me... October 2007 -I permanantly move out...I stay with my friend Mer first and eventually end up living with my parents sharing a room with my 12 year old sister...now t...

So...what in the world is up with the weather today?? It's 9 in the morning and I've already seen rain, hail, and sunshine... I guess that's KY for you! It is getting to be that time of year when we get to take cover for random tornado warnings...great! To all you crazy mothers out there: Happy Mother's Day!!! You rock! For me...yet another year goes by without the joy of saying I, myself am a mother...but that will be changing soon!!! ;-)
