I have never been to Disneyland

 

I have not had the luck to go to Disneyland/Disney world but it seems like everyone I know has. I am not talking about my lost childhood that is long gone. I am speaking of my children's. I have always wanted to take them there at least once and it has never been where I could. There just has never been the money to go, even when I was working 2 jobs. My son is 15 this year and my daughter is 13 I am hoping I will get to take them before they are grown. Sometimes it seems like everyone around you is having fun and you are standing still watching it all go by. I recently watched some extended family take their kids not once but twice in the past two months because 1. they live so close and 2. other family members help them. My little family is a bit of the black sheep and do not fit in well and do not get invited to most family things because we do not have the money. So not only do I get left out of things but my kids do as well because of me. This year is the first time I have ever had a real vacation I worked my butt off to have it and it was only for 3 days. Best time of our life! I know this post is a major rant but sometimes I just need to let it out. We are in the middle of moving and all the stress of that as well as I threw my back out and I am doing my best to push through the pain. I guess everything just adds up after a while and I need to vent. Is there anything you wish you could do that there never seems to be a way to do? 

Comment below and let us know or just vent with me!

Packing and Moving

I have to say one of the things that I dislike the most is packing up and moving. Now don't get me wrong, I am super glad to be getting out of this apartment and into a house. We have lived in a 3 bedroom apartment for 3 years now and I have loathed it for 2 and 1/2 of those years. The maintenance was horrible for the most part, the owners a pain to deal with, and in my current health for the past year the stairs have been just horrible on me. So yes I am super trilled to be moving to a house that is bigger with no stairs and so far seems to be good owners. It doesn't hurt that the rent is cheaper as well. However I absolutely hate the process of moving. All of the packing and loading and then once you finally get everything moved you have to put it all up again. I have already thrown my back out and we are not even halfway moved yet. Oh well onward and upward. If only there was a moving faerie that could *poof* my stuff there for me...lol
Have a great Wednesday!!!

Hectic Wednesday

Hi all Just stopping by to let you all know  I have not forgotten about my blog! I have been out of town on a business trip/vacation in New Orleans. If you didn't know we are looking to move in June when our lease is up. Neither my husband or myself is happy with the place we live in, my kids dont really like it here either.  Both my husband and myself are Artist by trade and we are both in school to have other options available to us because we are tired of being starving artist. The whole cliche is not so funny when you never know where your next dollar is coming from. We do not live in a community that support artist at all. We were looking into Atlanta but were not very sure so we decided to check out New Orleans and let me tell you I think we may have found where we belong. I hope anyway. New Orleans defiantly supports their artist and it looks like we could do pretty good there. Of course we wont quit school we still need that back up plan and I am only 1 and 1/2 years away from my degree. We are hoping to go back over spring break to make our final decision. So fingers crossed! have a great Wednesday!!
Here are a few pics from the trip!!
