101-111 Hells and Heavens

My hells and heavens this week... this week as been a crazy week. Ill start with my hells, my mom lost her job a couple days ago and she helps me pay my bills alot because i am a single mother and i am a full time student so its hard to find a good paying job to afford everything. I also had to meet with my exs mom so that she could see my daughter because she hasnt seen her since Christmas, thats always dreadful! Of course that family always tries to make me look like a terrible person because i left a relationship that i wasnt happy in and i knew i could do better. I havent seen my daughters dad since before Christmas because he isnt exactly the type of person i want around her. After i left drugs became his best friend and he became homeless and jobless. He lives with his mom now but he usually doesnt come home because he parties. My heaven part is that i got a job that i really wanted and i didnt think that i would get it because it is such a good job and i cried on the phone when he told me i was hired, Its a CNA job which is a great job for someone that wants to be in the nursing field and it was just a huge relief and it came at a good time. I also have done pretty well on my mid-terms this week. My daughter and i got to spend monday together because class was cancelled on monday. I also let my daughter sleep with me last night because she busted her lip on her bed rail and couldnt fall asleep. I think that i have more heaven than hell in my life right now. I have a wonderful daughter, a great new job and a beautful home.

There was a short, bald, young brown-eyed baby girl that was loud and funny. Later in life she grew to be tall with long straight hair and she became more shy and mad at the world. It got to the point of being rude to everyone that crossed her path or looked at her funny. She was very skeptical of the people around her and had a hard time trusting people, ever since her father decided to leave her and her mother alone. The older she got the more angry she became with the world, eventaully she dyed her hair blue and wore it curly,she also got her ears gauged and she was very pale skinned. probably because she locked herself in her room everyday after school and never wanted to go out with anyone. She was depressed, and angry with the world for allowing her father to leave her all alone, she needed him.
When she got older she was tall, with short blonde hair, and she wore glasses. She decided to forgive the man that had given her life. She was now smart and educated, and most importantly happy. Those days that she lived in the dark came to an end all because she decided to forgive the man that had abandoned her. Now she is in college and on her way to becoming a successful lawyer, she already works as an assistant. She is well on her way to living a happy and full life. She is engaged and soon to be married to the man of her dreams, a man that would never leave his family, or her. Her mother is retired and married to a new wonderful man and everything is all right with the world. Those years of suffering were worth the joy they feel now.



My friend Alisha could be the most complex person ever. I describe her as hilarious, volumous, frustated, but most of all depressed. Her father left when her at a young age, since then she feels like she cant trust anyone. I remember when we attended in middle school she ran away and dyed her hair aqua. With her  turquoise hair, gauged ears, and the sad eyes the color of the sky during a thunder storm she always looked lost. She would never go outside with me, she stayed locked up in her room, her skin the color of paper and she looked fragile. In our last few years of high school she looked more joyeous and she could be the smartest person that i know. She worked as a assistant at a law firm, attended law school and her hair returned back to being the color of the sun, she always straighened the long silky strands. She looked more professional and wore specticles that she didnt even require, she believed they made her look smarter, and they did! We ate lunch together the other day discussing our lives, laughing at old baby pictures, our mothers brought us into the world hairless, helpless, and innocent, unaware of how cruel the world truely could be, we learned to go with the flow and learn our lessons, now we could be describled as at peace with the tides that threw us around in the past.

Dictionary Words

Once upon a time there was a girl that drove by a house the color of butter everyday, dreaming of someday living in this beautiful house next to the beach. Its ridiculous the price they are asking for the house, but it definitely seemed worth it to LaKesha. One day she decided to talk to the people that were selling the house and she tried to talk them down on the wonky price. Instead they went up. She was totally upset by the "delightful" home owners. She walked away calling them Do-dos under her breath. She was walking by the house on her way to work the next day and saw a crazy couple moving in. They were jumping around and throwing boxes into her dream home. She approached them and asked if they needed any help and she realized that the man was her best friend's boyfriend.... This married man just bought a new house with his WIFE. really? This man didn't recognize me, hes a total dork. He wears thick glasses with duct tape holding  them together in the middle, he actually had on suspenders! I almost didn't recognize him. When hes with my best friend he has slicked back hair and seriously looks like he could be a model. Whoa! I told my friend about it that night when i got home and she didn't seem surprised. "So?" is the only thing she said. This girl was nothing like my best friend. I didn't even recognize her. I have to find out what going on in this wonky situation. Fungo! That's right ill do it by myself. I was totally shocked that my friend was OK with this rude man's behavior. The next day i went to the man's house and confronted him, asked him what he had going on. "Bazinga!" he yelled. In my mind i was thinking wow... this man is crazy. What a lunatic. Then he went on to say "I knew when you came over here yesterday that you are best friends with my girlfriend, the woman that i live with is my wife. But I only live with her to take care of her on her last few weeks to live, she has cancer and she wont be alive much longer. I don't want to tell her about YoLanda because i want her to be happy and enjoy life. She loves the bubbles between her toes on the beach and i knew she always wanted this house so i bought it for her." This man is knackered. This makes no sense. Why would Yolanda put herself in this situation with this man? I remained speechless and the man offered me a cookie, I declined and he ate it. The most outrageous snorffling noise came out. Ha ha! What a dork!

Heart shaped cookie cutter

My prompt is a heart shaped cookie cutter. I think this cookie cutter must have been used when she was making cookies and her and her children cut out the cookies together. Or maybe she made cookies and she used this cookie cutter to make heart shaped cookies for valentines day or maybe she just made cookies for her husband and loved ones. I think that making cookies with kids is a great and fun way to spend time with your kids, plus you are teaching them measurements and how to make cookies and how long to bake them. Its always a good idea to get kids involved in cooking and other things like cleaning out. My daughter is only 18 months and she helps me around the house a little. Mostly with laundry, i take the clothes out of the washer and i put a few small things on the lid of the dryer and she pushes it in, then she closes the lid to the dryer and i start it up. She thinks its a game and its a great way to slowly work them into always helping you clean. In fact sometimes she will clean up after herself, after she gets done playing with her toys sometimes she will put them back where she got them and when she does i clap and cheer so that maybe she will continue to do that. She doesnt do it very often but im working with her. I think that if kids start that kind of stuff really young they will always know its expected of them and they will just do it. My mom did everything around the house until my brothers and i were teenagers. By the time we were teenagers we were used to being lazy and having mom take care of us, so we had a hard time cleaning up after ourselves, and by that i mean... we just really didnt want to. Now that i live alone with just my daughter and i, i love things to be in their place and i hate clutter, im kind of ocd about all of it. When i still lived at home with my mom we would all make fun of her because she would totally freak out at how messy the house was and in our mind it wasnt that bad, now im the same way she was. Im not as much of a neat freak as her but i think that everything should be in its place.

Naked Chocolate

My prompt is naked chocolate, the first thing in my mind is that it is organic chocolate, the box is kinda fancy with pink and brown checkers and the word naked has the N, K, and D in a colorful box around them. Im thinking that this chocolate was an early valentines day present, maybe this was a present from her husband because he did something to upset her. Isnt that the only time guys go out of their way to do something nice? When they do something wrong they feel the need to do something nice to even it out. Chocolate is usually a good way to make a girl get over something, but im thinking that girls should never ever tell a guy that because who knows! Maybe eventually they will think chocolate doesnt work anymore and they will start giving you bigger and better things like a car or a diamond necklace! The only time my ex got me chocolate was when he did something that he knew i knew about or if he did something and he needed to tell me about it. He would tell me the bad news then give me the chocolate. Eventually the chocolate didnt work anymore, apparently because he is my ex now. ha! In all honesty he has absoutly nothing to do with chocolate or the lack there of...

People say chocolate is a stress reliever, im not sure if thats true, but if they think it makes them happy then who am i to argue? Chocolate is cheap and some chocolates are healthier than cakes and ice cream! I dont think i ever turn to chocolate or any food for that matter when im upset... Ususally i just lay on the sofa and watch sad, heart-breaking, im-crying-my-eyes-out-and-it-feels-good movies.

Mind Map

My mind map was about life, the easiest thing for me to write about was family. With my family i put spending time with them and being able to go on vacations and watch my daughter grow and learn new things. I also put going to the zoo because i fully intend on bringing willow to the zoo this summer. I want us to have game night and movie nights, family is very important to me and i dont want to get so wrapped up in the other things in my life that i dont get to spend time and enjoy my family. Willow is already 18 months old and that has gone by way too fast already i dont want to look back and know that i missed out, i want to remember everything and be able to have a great relationship with my family. I also wrote about friends. My friends and i are crazyy! I put dancing and singing badly because that is our signature best friend trait! I also put shopping and im not a shopping diva but i do enjoy walking around town, spending money with my friends. My work goals are to excel and earn money, i want to make it to nursing and in order to do that i have to go to school. School was another catergoery.
