A New Beginning

So I have decided that today will be the first day of a whole new chapter in this blog. In the past this blog was where I came to babble on and on about whatever was on my mind, and that will not change. What will change is what I will share with those who visit this site. I am not hiding any lonegr. I don’t care who reads this blog or knows who I am. I have a lot to say and share and will say and share it here.

So much ahs happened since I last posted on this site. I accidentally fell into running a celebrity blog. It is so far from who I am and what I am about. But little did I know that accidental site would change my life in such a way.

In the coming days, weeks and months I will share my life here in hopes of helping other women like myself.

Stay tuned….

Goodbye!

I know I have been ignoring this blog lately and quite honestly I almost deleted it a few days ago.I haven’t felt much like sharing myself lately and with school back in I don’t see myself posting here much in the future.I guess I’ll keep the blog open, just in case I want to come back to it later on.But as of right now, I guess this will be my last post for a long, long time.For those who hung out here with me for the last few months I thank you.Everything I ever posted on this site I posted at some moment when I more than likely was a little down, out and lonely.This blog was my friend when I had no other.Those of you who conversed here with me did so when I had no other.I thank you for that.

God Bless and Take Care

The Summer Is Winding Down

Wow, where did the time go? It seems like just yesterday summer vacation was starting and now it is almost over.I must admit this summer was better than the last and I am really sad to see it go.I rushed through last summer and just like that it was over.I was always waiting for something or expecting something and that made the summer fly by.I didn’t do that this time around and thus I was really able to enjoy everyday.

The children made new friends and went to lots of parties and I know the summer of 2006 will be one they never forget.Because the kids were away from home so much, I too was able to go out and do a lot of things I hadn’t done in a long time.I spent a few days upstate with a girlfriend and her husband and it was such a breath of fresh air to be out of the city and enjoy the peace and quiet of the country.

Next Tuesday the kids will return to class and I feel really good about this school year.Shane is going off to junior high and Essence is starting the 4th grade with her best friend downstairs whose mother transferred her to our school.All in all things are going great and for once I haven’t a thing to complain about.

The Kids Next Door

A few months back a new family moved in next door to me.As it turns out, the family consisted of a father and his 17 year old son and 13 year old daughter.At first I wasn’t too fond of them, ((They moved in 4 am in the morning making quite a bit of noise)) but eventually grew to like them as I discovered the kids were really sweethearts.

Though I am not sure how long they have lived here, I know it’s been less than six months and yet they have become like family to me and the other two families who live in our building.

The kids have become particularly close to my children as we live right across the hall from each other.The boy stops by daily to hang out with my older son and play Playstation and the girl has become like an older sister to my daughter.

Now, though these people have lived here for nearly six months, I had never seen or met the father until last night.His reputation however proceeded him.My children told me he was really strict and very mean and cranky.Tonight I found out just how cranky he can be.

I’ll Be Back

I know I have been gone for a while, or at least it seems like I have.I have not abandoned this blog, I am just without anything interesting to say.I have never been a prolific writer , or even a great writer, so no one should be surprised that I ran out of things to say.I will however try to start writing again as soon as the kids are back in school or maybe sooner.
