I am so proud...

I am so proud of myself lately. It is a wonderful thing for me to have my own money and be able to buy things myself without asking someone to buy it for me. Even though I don't make that much, I can still pay for my daughter's daycare and have some money left over. With Christmas coming up, school will be getting out soon, and I will be able to work more. If I can work more, I can make more money to be able to buy presents from me and santa for Lana. Givin that I won't be able to buy anyone else any presents, I think that they will understand. Everyone knows that I don't have enough money to buy things for anyone except my baby girl. On top of making money, I get to get out and make friends. I have been with my baby twenty-four hours a day for two years. I have spent enough time with her that I can spend a little time away from her to be able to do things for her. Even though I am proud of myself, if means more to me that everyone in my family is proud of me and what I am doing to better mine and my daughter's lives.

This semester so far...

This semester so far has been overwhelming. Between going to school five days a week, work four days a week, and taking care of Lana, I haven't had any time to do much of anything. It took me about a month to find a daycare, but I finally found one. It's called Graceview, and it's pratically right next to my school. Lana starts there next Tuesday, and she will be going three days a week. I'm nervous about leaving her with someone who is not family for the first time. I know that I am going to cry, but it will be a good thing for her to go. She will be able to play with other kids her age, and it will give my grandmother a little break from watching her.

With all this excitement, I haven't been able to determine out a decent schedule to do all of my homework. Because of work, I don't even have time to sit down and relax. I was able to talk to my boss and lighten my work load to two  and three days every other week. It has been so much beter for me. I'm still busy but not as busy where I can't even think about what I have to do next.
