Getting a little behind.

WOW!

Where has the time gone? I let myself get behind on my blog, with no real excuse. So Happy Belated Holidays and Happy New Year!!

Life here has been hectic, yet uneventful. Every day stresses and issues, along with caring for a toddler makes life hectic. But I'll be honest and say nothing has been going on.

Until recently.

I have officially started my schooling. (YAY ME!) And I'm very excited to finally be getting thing on track. I still have a ton that needs to fall into place, but I'm sure at some point it will.

I still feel stuck in limbo a lot, and like my life is a disaster but I'm trying to work it out. I suspect there will be some big changes in the next few years, and I'm not too sure Im ready for them. I'm not sure what my direction is right now, so I'm just going to keep focusing on the smaller things for now.

Thats really it here on my end. Nothing new or exciting other then my schooling starting. But who knows what else is coming up.


Carter is doing great. He is 15 months old, 25 LBS and Im not sure how tall he is, but he is TALL. He says "Yup", "Yeah" and "Uh huh", and he has said "No" a couple of times. He can now get up and down the couch and bed by himself. He's trying to climb everything and it is a bit scary. He has recently learned that screaming while crying is much more effective. He learnt how to open the fridge and broke the child lock I bought for the fridge a few days later. He is doing well and striving, and Im sure it won't be much longer before he's doing something else new.


That's it on this front for right now. Considering I have a toddler trying to climb me at the moment, I should probably head off anyways.

Hope all is well for everyone.

First Step Forward. '

Here we are, 2nd post. FINALLY! 


I have been waiting and waiting for something to come write about and I finally have it! 


I went and checked the mail the other day, and low and behold my high school transcripts had finally arrived in the mail! 


Oh, I should probably catch you up first. 


I never finished high school, and now that I have Carter, I want to make a good life for us, and in order to do that I need to go back to school. I'm not sure why, but for some reason it's very important to me that I get my high school diploma. Not a G.E.D. , not be a mature student, but to actually have my diploma. So once I get my high school, I can go ahead and go to college and get a degree in something, so me and Carter will be stable and I'll never have to worry. 


There is a high school program I want to use. It allows me to stay home with Carter, and work at my own pace. I have set an amount of time as my goal to have it done by, I'm very excited to start this program and hoping everything pans out that I can keep heading in this direction. The thing was in order to participate in this program I had to have a minimum of 16 credits. 


So when my transcripts came in the mail, I ripped the envelope open and low and behold I had over double the amount!! 


So what's the next step? 


Well, the next step is to call the school and find out exactly how I go about enrolling, and then mail them anything and everything I need to mail them. At which point once they have all their information they will mail me what I need to begin. 




I'm super excited to start and can't wait to get things going. I've been set back already a few times and feel I'm falling behind on my goals. But this is a big step and I'm super excited to start and make things happen. 


Other then that, things are pretty quiet on the home front. Carter is doing well and striving each day. I'm working on making things happen for me and trying to get everything going so we can be where I want us to be. For now, things are calm. But, we all know there is always something around the corner. ;) 


Till next time. 

Starting Over.

Why hello there! 


I'm not exactly sure how to start this, or where to begin. So I'll just jump right on in. My name's Madonna and I'm 24. I'm the single mother of a very active energetic little boy, Carter who is one. 
I had a blog that I started shortly after I had Carter, but sadly I stopped posting in it and I felt it had just gotten so far behind. Things are a little different now that Carter is one and I'm starting new chapters in my life, so I figured it would be a good time to start a new blog and just start fresh. 


You're probably wondering what you should expect to see in my blog and well you can expect to be reading about everything from things I bake or cook to updates about Carter and updates about myself and I make my way through coming into my own and trying to figure where I go from here. 


So to start off, I'll just get everyone caught up on what's going on so far. 


Carter is now one. He turned one on Oct 14th and it was a very happy day but I was sad at the same time. Where did that whole year go?!?! My little baby is no longer a little baby but he is now a smacking, screaming, biting, giggling, funny, sweet little boy. It seems like he learns something new every week and has accomplished something else every time I turn around. 


As for me, I'm working on becoming my own person and figuring out what I want out of life. I'm trying to find my happiness and balance in my life. For the first time I am now living on my own, just Carter and I; and I am working on getting back into school. I have no idea what I want to do yet, it seems everything I have an interest in there's reasons keeping me from it. But I still have lots of time to decide and make an educated smart decision. 
Other then family I only have a few friends here in Nova Scotia. Two of which I barely ever see. I think I would be extremely lost without my family so I am very grateful to have them. 
I have no prospects of love in my life, other then family and friends that is, but this is completely different. It's hard being alone but I do it. Hopefully one day I will find someone who I can trust and love and who will love me the way I deserve to be loved and treated.


Well that is about as up to date as it gets. Not much new on this front. I look forward to sharing my adventures and progress with you all. 


Xoxo Madonna. 


PS: I would just like to give a shout out to my mommy friend Nadia for encouraging me to return to writing and re-creating a blog. Thanks Nadia!!
