Hey everyone! How are y'all doing? Me, I don't good, could complain about some things, but all in all, I am blessed and happy to have another day to call my own.
I got back most of the stuff the oldest took from me. Her school sent it back. My little one was happy to get her camera back. She asked if her oldest sister "didn't really take it?", but I did not lie to her. I told her the truth, "she sent it back". Straight to the point and no more sugarcoating. I don't want to dwell on this situation any longer so let's more on, shall we?
My goals list is being worked on for sure. I have made a workout plan for myself and I am following it. There is room for error and unexpected changes, but all in all, I am following it. I have 5 TaeBo videos that I have to get through. I have to do each of them 3 times a week for four weeks. I just finished week one of the first one. The results are going to take time and I am giving myself time to get the results. It's as simple as that!
I havent gotten back to the Ailey Center yet but I will. Trust me, I will.
I am going to scrapbooking crop this Friday night. I am looking forward to it.
I am still working on my book of the month, Paradise by Toni Morrison. It is kind of dragging but I am determined to finish it.
That's it for now.
Talk to you all soon!

Liars, Thieves and a Child's Heartbreak
Let's get right to it, shall we?
My oldest daughter saw my youngest daughter at the ex's house over the holiday weekend and tricked her into giving up her housekeys on the promise of new clothes. The ex found out and instead of taking the keys away, he made the oldest promise not to do anything "crazy."
Um, who was it that said if you have to tell someone don't do something, you know they WILL do it?
Anywho. So, the oldest comes to my house with her girlfriend and proceeds to STEAL clothes, shoes, boots, money, a camera and most of my handbags. She leaves the keys under the youngest's pillow as promised and proceeded to walk out of the building, carrying 2 large bags of stolen goods, and right past Love with a snide remark, who doesnt realize what has happened until we both get home later that night and put 2+2 together!
How do you deal with a 10 year old little girl who loves the ground her big sister walks on and now has her heart shattered by lies? How do you deal with a 17 year old woman who thinks nothing of manipulating and lying to get something that she could have just asked for? If she had been a 27 year old crack addict, then you know how to wrap your brain around it. When it's a 17 year old who wants to do as she pleases but wants to hurt her mother for some unknown reason, I am stumped.
I filled out a police report. I called and cursed the ex and told him I would have him charged with accessory to burglary. I spoke her school's principal, guidance counselor and school police officer. Most importantly though, I spoke to God and I need to speak to Him some more because, although I am getting tired of thinking about it, I still need His guidance to make the right decision on what to do next!
Needing some prayers, please

My Word for The Year
Pursue
Verb
1. Carry out or participate in an activity; be involved in; "She pursued many activities"; "They engaged in a discussion".
2. Follow in or as if in pursuit; "The police car pursued the suspected attacker"; "Her bad deed followed her and haunted her dreams all her life".
3. Go in search of or hunt for; "pursue a hobby".
4. Carry further or advance; "Can you act on this matter soon?".
I am definitely happy in knowing that this word is the closest I could find to explain what I want to do with the rest of my life. I tried 'engage' and 'involve' but they didnt feel right. PURSUE is right!
Here's to Twenty Ten!!
