School

School is great. This is my first online class and I'm excited but nervous at the same time! My goal is not only to pass this class with an "A" but to enhance my writing skills. So far I'm doing perfect and I want to keep it that way. It has been a challenge working two jobs, having children, and a load of housework! I'm making it though. Trust me it takes a great deal to stay focused and organized. After this I should be able to hold down a full schedule. With a new job I will be less stressed and can take on more. I watch my online class everyday so I wont miss anything. I can say I have been doing well with it. I know this is just the beginning, and I cant wait until the end so I can really see how well I handled this class.

My son's 2nd birthday I really put in work I was very creative and it was so fun creating this birthday party. I want to do the same for her. This year Im thinking of inviting her classmates instead of having a mini party in her classroom. She is very excited.

Summer breeze

I love the summer. When the summer comes I feel so excited and happy. I feel like nothing can go wrong. The days are long and full of fun. Playing outside with my children and hearing the sweet sound of the ice cream truck as it comes around come the corner. Seeing the little faces light up with joy as they run back into their houses to empty there piggy banks. Just as the evening comes heading out to the beach. Feeling the warm summer wind blow through my hair as I walk down the strip filled with people and smiling faces. Entertainment on every corner with the shine of bright lights from the surrounding stores. The beach is full of life, it's so much to see and do there. Grabbing a bite to eat while listening to the live band play. The end, walking along the boardwalk listening to the quiet waters and watching the mysterious waves go back and fourth. Even when its time to leave; the ride home is also exciting. The music playing, the children smiling as they share reflections of the beach and how much fun they had, and feeling the warm breeze swish throughout the car. This night could last forever.. the summer breeze.

On a search for new beginnings

Have you ever worked somewhere you just didn't like? I do collections, It has it's advantages and disadvantages. the disadvantage of this job is the pressure to reach goals that are not always achievable, and when achieved its never enough. The managers always say it's like the lotto sometimes you get lucky sometimes you don't. Everyday I hear sad stories, and people cant pay anything, but I have to continuously push them for a payment they may not have. Not only that but we have too dig deep into there personal business sometimes to find out how they are paying there other bills , and I feel that isn't right. Its one thing to advise them of the payment plans we can offer, but these same people gets calls everyday or every other day from 8am to 10 pm . Majority of the clients are so mad they yell and scream at you just plan old rude for no reason, and I have to fight to let them know that I'm trying to help. What makes my job ten time harder is the incomplete information the company wants you to follow, but the managers don't know exactly how it works and mark points off your calls say you need more coaching, but later in the month or the next month you find out what you did on the call was perfect, but now when you try to go back to get that last call corrected the manager don't want to go back and now they have a different reason why you were marked off for the call, but they cant explain it.
The advantage is I have a job, it pays well, I am able to work the morning shift so I'm home early, and I have benefits. I have my own desk with my own personal space. Their is a cafe in the building, and the company allows my to contribute to different charities, and volunteer work . There are not many advantages, and as I been told their is always something you don't like about your job. I feel this job is above that. The funny thing is I'm doing well at the the job, but I don't care to much for doing it.That's why I'm on a search for new beginnings. I have to fined something I like to do.

New Life

I believe anything you want to be you can be. Any mountain that comes can be climbed. See having a positive attitude really allows you to see the bigger picture of life. Life can be anything you want to be. The perfect life you see on Tv. That can be you. Confidence is the key, putting in alittle work, and having strong determination. Its works. Now dont mistake it you will have ups and down but what will you choose? I choose happiness, and life!

After a busy work week I just need time to unwind and spend time with my family. Every Friday I try to host a game night! Our game night consist of tournaments in Wii sports. First we play some bowling to get started which it never fails I always Lose, but I'm getting better. My 5 year old daughter beats everyone in bowling. Then we play some table tennis..I'm good at that! We also play some boards games. I love to keep the laughs going.
