Im so excited for one of my goo friends who has had a lot of valleys to journey thru before she get to that sought after hill! Well the hill has come and she is reaping the rewards for all of the trial and tribulations of the years past..........My friend Lily was offered a FULL TIME teaching job today! She busted her butt for school, graduated FIU Cum Laude after dealign with having a son and all of the issues that come with that but she stuck it out adn maintained her goal. She was accepted into a program for schools that are not doing well as far as the grading that schools get. Well she has flourished in the training and even the trainers are amazed at her ease in a classroom, so much so they would swear she had taught before. And on top of that and other stresses she is 5 months pregnant which could have poised an issue but nevertheless after being called back for a 2nd interview SHE WAS HIRED!!!!!!!!!! Im so excited..........Were excited adn will be taking her to celebrate tonight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How cool huh??

I sit realizing that before my eyes my kids aren't so little anymore. Crystal is about to enter middle school, home of the hormones, cycles and BOYS!!!! Preteen land here we come full speed ahead.... From where coloring and watching blues clues has changed into listening the a CD player , playing the DS hours on end and hanging posters of boy teen pop starts on the bedroom wall. As I buy her clothes I realize she's not a baby anymore, she isn't the little girl I see her but a maturing young lady who is beautiful, smart, funny, loving, witty, shy yet full of life! Ahhh it's amazing to me to see this from where I stand as a mom now..

As for Kyana she makes my heart hurt and feel heavy with the love that grows for her every day. Its true that you never know REAL love until you have a child of your own. I never understood what it was to feel this unconditional love until Kyana looks up at me and says "my beautiful mommy, I love you" If she only understood how much I love her too! She is so smart, funny, witty, affectionate and giving. I love that she has my independent streak and quick whit. I love that she loves school and is so smart. She can be the death of me mentally sometimes when she gets in her IM NOT HAVING IT MOODS but damn it man I'm the same so how can I fault her?

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. And my life is everything that Id want it to be as long as I strive to be happy. I believe that you are given the chance to have the life you want bu you have to work at maintaining it or making it better. Every decision you make will determine which path you are shown and which direction life will go...........
