KUDOS PLUS A RANT!

To all the mothers out there, you deserve the best!

To all the mother's out there this one is for you:

To all the mother's who are working a full time job, holding up big careers, working on their degrees, and raising their families this is for you. You may be a single mother or a mother with a spouse, kudos to you! I never realized how hard it is to raise a child until I had my own. Even then I was like, all the mothers do it I can do it to, it's no big deal. Boy was I wrong. My son is only 5 months old and i'm already struggling to keep afloat.

By staying afloat I don't mean financially, but mentally, by that I mean being a full time student and trying to give my son time it's hard, very hard. I'm very blessed that my parents are supporting me (my husband is out of the country). My mom watches my son while I'm in class. As soon as I get home all my attention goes to him, and if I don't give him my time he will demand it, may be with crying to fussiness, but he knows already at 5 months old how to get his well deserved attention.

Giving him attention meaning, other things get behind.

Most of the things that are being affected is my school work. I have another year to go and I'm already struggling. I'm not trying to make this into a rant. My over all purpose of this post is to say thank you to all the mothers out there who keep up with their careers, or trying to get a degree and raised their children, spending some quality time with them. How do you do it? I would love to know.

Comment below and let me know, if you have any secrets up your sleeves, I would appreciate it. I know I will get through this last year of my degree some how, but what i'm afraid of is that I don't want to lose the quality time (time that we will never get back) with my son. I guess this did turn into a rant, but that was not my intention. I just wanted to say great job to all the mother's out there!

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
