it's been awhile since I've been on here.
there's been so many changes to my life in the last 6 months or so that I'm having a hard time keeping my head from spinning off.
twin and i still don't talk. 90% of the time i think that's for the best. 10% of the time, i still miss my best friend.
i finally had the courage to walk away from someone who will never have the courage to walk towards me. after 8 years of friendship, passion, hatred, pain, love, drama, laughter and amazing memories, it was the hardest thing i've ever done. i ended communication with that person, and yet again, it's the loss of the friendship i am already mourning.
i am sensing a pattern dear readers.
i finally have my own apartment again. it's a little 2 bedroom about 7 miles from where I teach. it has a little wood burning fireplace. the cats and i are settled, and ross the pooch visits as often as i can barter him away from my overbearing loving mother.
the 2nd bedroom is all set up for the foster baby i am still fighting DHS to give me. this process is taking much longer than I had anticipated, but the wait will indeed be worth it.
teaching is going amazing. my principal tells me all the time how blessed my school is to have me. i know i'm where i belong and that is an amazing feeling. my kids... they're monsters and angels all at once and i feel i'm the one that's blessed to be near them. 6th graders are definitely the ideal age for me.
so life is a jumble of wonderful and painful things, a balance of sorts i guess. and i'm ok with that. because more often than not, the good outweighs the sad.
