Yes, that’s right. I’m too lazy to go to the store and actually purchase anything currently. I’ve been sitting around the house basically doing nothing this entire weekend. Though I feel like on my days off, all I want to do is be lazy and catch up on all the crap tv I’ve missed while slaving my life away. Oh, and of course watching Vivi being hysterical. She’s old enough now that she’s so much fun to watch. She spend most of her days crawling through our house getting anything anything she can get her hands on. Actually, while I am writing this she’s ripping up my school binder. Wasting perfectly good paper, but hey, as long as she isn’t eating pennies, I am pretty satisfied. (Pst, before stopping this act- I took a candid photo of the guilty child, please enjoy.)

I think I’ve finally figured out a way to relive some financial strain. Government assistance- Though 90% of the time I think the only people on assisted programs hardly by any means deserve it. I’ve come to the conclusion, these programs I am enlisting in are created for people like me. People whom are having a rough time and need a little help from someone. It sickens me how much people take advantage of the system. I am receiving food stamps now(well it’s coming in the mail), and sitting downtown with all these people. I realize how LUCKY I am, and how ungrateful and pure lazy the people I sat among were. These were perfectly able bodies filling the room whom I overheard multiple times tell me that they REFUSED to get a job based on losing government assistance. I’ll stand up for the system stating that the assistance I am receiving is more than generous, and you’d have to make a decent chunk of money to lose ALL government assisted programs. Which leads to me back to believing they’re riding the coat tails of the taxes I pay.

I wish they would drug screen for programs like I am receiving. I hope one day that people will realize there is a lot more to life than to strive to be the lowest. These programs are here to assist you in living, not become you’re source of it.

But anywho, back to my batteries…I think I need to get up and grab some. Vivi needs some adorable updated photos taken of her.

How do you feel about government assistance?
Would you ever take the help they offer?

Things are starting to settle down for me, and I am settling into a new life. I’ve got a new house, and am able to spend more time with Viviana. I ditched two of my jobs and got one that paid just as much but less hours! I am excited to now be a certified pharmacy technician!

I won’t keep this as a long entry because there is just far too much to catch up, instead, I believe I will begin fresh. I don’t really wanna remember much of the struggles Vivi and I have faced, but wish to open a new chapter with new hardships, and amazing times in motherhood.

I am more than excited to be back! Oh, and check out my flickr update!

It’s been awhile, my last post was at the beginning of spring. I guess I need to pay more attention to this sucka.

I’m still working 3 jobs. I’m at my wits end and ready to snap. I have another court date in 2 days, hopefully coming out with some damn child support finally. The original date was extended because he lives in California, I’d assume I left because Viviana was a fusspot, and I couldn’t be in the court room any longer. I just hope this one is more successful so I don’t have to work like a slave horse anymore to literally barely skim by every month. I am wearing thin.

I plan on updating very soon, with a new layout and some new recipes I’ve discovered! So stay tuned, sorry this isn’t a great long update…

Bear with me.

Welcome back Spring! It’s good to see you, and it’s good to vast in all of your glory. But if you could so nicely tone down the pollen, I’d really appreciate it. My eyes are itchy and my nose is dry. I would like to feel normal again if that’s possible. It would help my cleaning.

That’s right it’s time for spring cleaning. But I’ve been so lazy from my allergies, I can’t seem to find the motivation to do much of anything. I hate feeling like this. But hopefully it will fade by the end of the month. I really do need to start cleaning and stop being so blah. It’s coming up on moving day. I cannot wait to move into a bigger better house! It’s such a nice upgrade from the small run down 50′s home we’re currently living in. Once we’ve officially got the house. I’ll take some run through photos and show everyone how nice it is! It’s a 4 bedroom, 2 bath, garage, formal dining room, formal living room, family room, and a bunch of other features. It will be great for entertaining for Viviana’s birthday that is coming up!

Well, I don’t really feel well today or that I am all here. So I think this is about the extent of my updating. Just thought I’d stop in, and dust off the old site. I updated my flickr account for the first time in ages and soon I will tweet tweet away! I hope everyone is enjoying their spring time!

How is your spring?
Any plans on spring cleaning?

It’s been a long time since I’ve had some time to update, or frankly anything worth updating about. Life has been busy with personal issues that are being tackled currently. But those things are well on the way. Hopefully this lull in the storm of life will remain this time.

Viviana is officially 7 months old. She’s growing up so fast it’s hard to believe in 4 months she’ll be 1! I can’t fathom it. It seems like just yesterday I was carrying her 7 pounds around in my tummy! I wonder if every mother feels like time just flies by?

She’s starting to walk in her walker which is extremely exciting for me. Her ability to interact with you is become greater every day. I can feel so many emotions from her and now she’s learning to express her grumpy attitude for the world to see! I can’t wait until chubby cheeks finally breaks down and speaks the “Mama” I am waiting to hear! So…

In other news, I finally have a court date set for child support. I hope all goes smoothly and I in fact do receive some type of support from Viviana’s father. I am also in the process of getting a lawyer to help with custody and/or parental rights. I am also hoping the lawyer can help me with changing Viviana’s last name to mine. I don’t think she should be carrying around some name that means absolutely nothing to her. She doesn’t need to be connected to someone who doesn’t even want her. It doesn’t seem fair.

How are you guys doing?
How do you feel about the name change?
