I wrote a blog earlier.. and I just deleted it. It wasn’t as thought out as I’d like it to be. I just found out a lot about what I want to do.. so now I want to write it, but want it to be more organized.
Okay.. so my GED date is set for March 10th & 12th. I’m sure I can pass it. I may have to study a little bit, am not sure how to do that though, but I guess just look things up on the net? Anyway, I am sure I’ll pass it.
Then I know I want to go to college. So as soon as I do that, I want to go and sign up at the college over here. For online courses. Sarah is doing that, and she said since I’m “broke” and am a single parent, I’ll definitely get grants and stuff. Which is great.. I need that, because I can’t afford it. And I really want to better myself and my life. I know I can do it. I want to be the person I know I can be.. the person I would have been, had I not fucked up. But yes, everything happens for a reason. So hopefully I can start a summer course online.
With my taxes.. I am getting a car. Getting a car, and paying off my ticket. That will be great. With what I have left.. if I have anything left, I’m going to treat myself and Zach to a nice day out. Maybe pay for his birthday party. Then I’m going to put the rest into a savings account. Pay off my 300/400 dollar fine for LC and then I’m going to start saving about 100 a week into the savings account. By the time we all get the tax returns (THANK GOD FOR THAT! Bush did something right this time!!!).. which is 600 a person, 300 a child = 900 for me.. I am sure I’ll have enough to move out. If I haven’t done it before.
No idea what will happen with Chris. I am very happy with him, and am pretty sure this will last a while. I mean I don’t know if we’ll move in together or not.. I don’t know what will happen with that. I guess we’ll see, and that will have to do with me moving out.
I’m hoping to find a job that pays better. But then I think I may just stick this out until I get through college.. however, that could be a while and I don’t know if I can do the whole 12 hour shift, overnight thing for that long. Maybe I’ll try to find another factory that pays more? Who knows.
All I know now.. is that I have plans to do things. And nobody can stop me. I know I can do it and I will do it. I’m so excited that I’m finally getting things going.
Also.. there’s midget soccer here. That starts either in spring or summer. I want to get Zach into it. I’m not quite sure how, but I’m going to find out.. and hopefully I can get him in this summer. I think he’d do good, and have lots of fun. And I’d LOOOVE to watch his games! And as soon as fall comes along, I’m going to get him into HeadStart. In the years to come, I also plan on starting with t-ball and then regular baseball. He’s already athletic and enjoys sports.. so I want to start him as young as I can. Besides, *I* believe I have the smartest little boy in the world.
