Consider Me Unbothered Blessed and Beautiful

After a slight sabbatical from blogging, I was encouraged to get back into writing again. I should never let the detractors interfere with my love of writing because it is something that I take pleasure in doing. So, I'm back and I plan to stick to it no matter how much drama my family tries to kick up.

I haven't posted since April of 2016, ant its currently March 21, 2017 so it's been almost a year and a lot has happened since then. My baby turned three and is about to turn four this June(I'm so not ready for this but I never am). Ez is such a smart young man, he's helpful he takes out the trash, he helps me with the laundry and he loves helping his da(grampa) with the yardwork. We are getting ready to take the training wheels off his bike because he really doesn't need them but he's not ready yet emotionally. I'm already looking into schools for him to attend next year. I've found maybe two schools that I like because they have a more equal mix of ethnicity. One of my neighbors whose actually really cool(translation is awesome and not a stuck up dick) is sending his kid there, our sons are friends, says they have a really good academic system in place and I trust his judgement. I am trying to set up a walk through so I can get a feel for the school and possibly put E on the list now.

As for my education, I just started my practicum and I am having a freaking ball. I love the teacher I am observing. The first day I was observing her in class, she introduced me and it became very clear to me that she really loves her job and that she has no place that she would rather be than with her students. It is really inspiring to see how responsive her students are to her, and how she respects them as adults. I'm observing a college class of ESL students and most of them are starting over and have already had careers in their former countries. When they were telling me about themselves and I realized that I was sitting in a classroom with a former lawyer, calculus teacher, computer analyst, accountant, and a business manager, I realized how much wasted potential was just sitting. Watching her makes me very excited for the next few years.

Last year I saw my sister get married to her hubby, it was a such a beautiful wedding. I saw my bff/cousin Chan get engaged and successfully carry twins who might I add are some of the most adorable babies ever. I am just as proud of them as I am of Ezra. This year I will be in her wedding and I am so excited to be able to share in that joy with them. It is going to be LIT, because she fucking deserves it.

Honestly since my blog was invaded by the mole(asshole family members) people I don't share the most innermost thoughts anymore out of respect for my fathers privacy, but I am so proud of how far I've come this past year as both a mother and a student. I will always be a little petty, I accept that and don't ever wanna change it but some folks deserve it because they are shit human beings. *insert emoji shrugging human*

I am happier now than I have been in a long time.
