Posting.. Finally!

HELLO... Hi, Howdy!

Here I am. What have I been doing?

Working, always working.
Here is my life in a blogshell

Work: Busy. I'm proving myself to be a valuable asset, getting things done ASAP and making things easier for the new boss. It's good, I love my job. I don't get paid for pooo... but I do love my job. I'll stick with it just so I can work somewhere I love.

Kids: Good.
Kara is strongly considering joining the military. I think she has finalized on the Army, though, she wants to get into the Air Force Academy. So, who knows what branch she will decide on.

Ashlyn is playing soccer. She has a bit of weight on her and so that is good for her to join a sport, get her off the computer all the time.

Joey is always doing some sport these days. He had also put on some weight, and since he played basketball (that season is over), he is now doing soccer with Ash (co-ed team with school) and when he comes home he plays basketball in the court for about an hour or so. He's losing tons of weight.

Faith is beautiful. She is too smart for her own good. She tends to be lazy when it comes to math however, she will get better with that.

Issa is good. She woke up at 5:30am when I got up... then she fell back asleep at Carols around 6:45ish. Then she woke up at 9:30 and didn't take a nap for the rest of the day. HA! Needless to say she is in bed asleep now. She needs her rest.

LaLa is sitting in the OLD bouncy seat next to me (I say OLD for a good reason, I'll fill ya in later :) ). She's just chillin.

News...

Amber left and moved back in with her step mother, the woman is a demon witch, but she is trying hard to keep Amber on the straight and narrow. However, I think something I said to her has stuck, because she told Kara that she is going to join the military. (I told her it was a great place for a child who's home life is less than strong. In the military she is working and making her own money, not depending on anyone other than herself. She can get a home loan, insurance, everything one day.) I also told Kara that I'd fly to anywhere to see her graduate from boot camp.
So.. she is hopefully going to straighten up and finish school!
I worry about her all the time.
