I took a leave of absence….
Posted on December 31, 2008 by MANIFEST ME! in GeneralI really want to forget about 2008! It has left me with some bitter sweet moments. This was my second year of school. I am going into my third…. Junior in College…. at 28…. I thought I would have been a junior at the age of 19 not 28…..
Anyways, things are hectic… As you can see it has been a few days since I has last written anything. But, I decided today that I really needed some more time off. So, I had to take a short leave of absence, from school that is. I barely made it through Accounting II. Even though I was helping others, I was behind. So, I checked to see when the last day was to request a leave of absence and it was January 6th the day before my classes start. So, I emailed my academic advisor and told I needed to take a leave. Within minutes she had reschedule my classes and push them back. You can take a leave for up to 180 days that about 6 months approxiametly two terms. I am only doing it for one term. Maybe I can really get some things straighten out in my life and catch up on some stuff.
My grandmother is battling with cancer at the moment. She does multiple chemo treatments three times a week. She is 77 and I really need to spend more time with her. So I can cherish the moments we share together. =)
Happy New Years!

What was I thinking?
Posted on December 31, 2008 by MANIFEST ME! in GeneralWhat was I thinking? The day after Christmas was a long one. I sat and rehearsed on whether or not my kids should go away for a week without me. They were excited! Me on the other hand, these are my babies…. I was thinking… I could get a little break, I could get some work done, I could spend a little extra time with my husband, I could relax bit…. They would have a ton of fun ….What if the cry.. What if they want to come home…. What if they need me and I can’t be there….
But the truth of the matter is this was last week and tomorrow I will pick them up. So, I let them go? Where? 4 hours away with their uncle and aunty. My brother has my kids…. Wow. I thought this would never happen. It’s so sweet though to want to spend time with his niece and nephews and play with their cousins. I can’t wait to see my babies! I can’t wait to get to Austin and spend time with my brother and his family.
I can’t believe that all three of them left me. I just knew that my baby boy was going to cry. He just turned 3 and he has never been away from me past one night. Believe it or not he is the trooper! He has not cried or wanted to come home. My 7 year old girl, who will soon will be 8 in January, did have herself a moment though. But she knew we were one phone call away. My 5 year old said that he did not want to come back home. He told me that he didn’t want to go back to the daycare he just wanted to stay with his uncle. I don’t know about that, but I am glad he has enjoyed himself. This is going to be one exciting New Years day!
Happy New Years!!!
