Being an online student

I must say i do love to be an online student. I am a single mom so it works out great for me! I love the fact that i can work on homework, hand it in when i want during the week, and actually have a week to work on it. Finding a good day care in a small town is hard so that is also an advantage. I get to sit home and watch my daughter grow in her toddler years which i wanted to do. I dont have to leave her to go to class and i can sit comforatably in my own home and not have to raise my hand for a bathroom break =) She is also in the potty training stage so it works out great there also. I can stop what i am doing to go and take her to the potty. She loves it because she gets to put Elmo stickers up on her Elmo potty chart. Not many day cares will take the time to potty train her the way she needs to be. My daughter is a hands-on, feel, kinda girl. She needs that one on one with this right now. So i love it! My daughter loves it also, although she doesnt know what mommy is doing sitting on the computer all the time, she gets to see me everyday and i love the feeling of being able to be there for her and watch all the new things she is doing and not have to hear it from someone else, at least until she starts school, but even then she will be coming home telling me about it and that will be exciting. I was a little eerie about joining college, especially online, but i know that in the end it will all be worth it when i can give her everything.

Toddlers!!

My daughter is the cutest thing, i think, and so many people think she is so smart for her age. She hangs out with adults more than kids her own age and she acts like an adult alot also. She still loves being a toddler and playing but she talks like an adult (like she knows what she is talking about) Then a couple days ago she did the toddler thing. She's coloring in her coloring book and i'm sitting next to her looking at things i have to do for school. I spaced out for a minute and she went to work. First off i have white walls, (do you know where this is going? :) ) Yup, blue crayon all over my while walls and it won't come out. I was told a magic eraser so i have to try that and hopefully it will work. If not, i will have to repaint my walls and i dont really wanna do that because its already freshly painted by the last owners. Wish me luck on getting it off!!

never giving up

I got pregnant at 17 but i still graduated high school, i'm not a quiter. I've been doing nothing but working part time and seasonal jobs and i am looking forward finshing college and starting my career. Right now my daghter is 20 months old and i am doing my best as a single mom to take care of her. I want to give her a great life and give her everything. I feel bad because she has no father, he passed away Nov. 15, 2008. It's hard to be a young and single mom but like i said, i am not a quiter!
