Falling asleep with her microphone =)

So my muchkin is all curled up next to me, watching Sherly Temples' Heidi, and is falling asleep with her toy microphone. I swear to goodness that was the best dollar I ever spent. People these days are so strung up on buying all of these expensive ass toys that just end up in being broken or barely played with because they are too expensive or to complicated to actually be played with and I spend one dollar on a dollar store microphone and my daughter hasnt put it down in two days. 
It really is the little things in life that smack you back into reality. I was so concerned about making sure that my daughter has a great Christmas this year and she just rocked my entire world. I dont have to buy her a tone of presents for her to be happy or spend a load of cash I dont have. I already knew that and have known that practically all my life but you just get caught up in everyone and everything else around you, its easy to lose sight of whats really important and what really matters. She is happiest when she is with me. I am happiest when I am with her. She is so content and so happy with a one dollar toy and my rich and picky nephews are even in envy over it when they have two rooms and an attic full of toys they care nothing about. 
Its like when you buy something really big and it comes in a big box. Sure sometimes you can be so preoccupied with whats inside the box and other times your brain immediately goes to how much freaking fun it would be or is to play in the box (screw whatever actually came in it). Its the little things in life we all must be thankful for. Especially during this time of year when everyone gets so crazy with the presents, the black friday shopping, and out doing the neighbors, family, friends, or the year before. I know I will out do last years christmas because I am happier this year. I feel more blessed and fortunate this year and I know that my daughter is a very very happy little girl. Hopefully we will be in our own place for Christmas but either way we will be two very happy, very blessed ladies. 
#SoInLove!

Count your Blessings not your short comings

I feel so stupid sometimes. I haven't been on here to blog in a while because I thought my laptop was broken and refuse to log onto this from other computers because the last time that I did it didnt log me out and some jack ass decided to take the opportunity to blog for me. I quickly deleted it and thankfully no one saw it. Some people can be so damn rude. However, I am back and my laptop is somewhat functional so I needed to write. 

I am so happy to report that I finally received a job offer today! YAY!!! Three months and about a hundred applications and I actually have an offer of a full time job!!! Its not what I went to school for the last two years but thankfully I do have two free lance jobs in cosmetology also. One for a modeling company and one for a movie that is going to the Toronto film festival next year, so regardless of how it does I have some epic shit to put into my ever growing portfolio. Speaking of which if you are in the Florida area and would like me to be your cosmetologist, makeup artist, or over all stylist for your next big event, wedding, movie, or photo shoot my prices are fare. Please feel free to message me!! 
Anywho, I also am so happy on many other fronts right now. The only one I am seriously aggravated with is my current living situation. For some reason my sister and her husband can never stay happy for too long and I just dont put up with shit so we are getting into it just a bit. Its so aggravating!! Having to watch my back in my own sisters house. Having to make sure that my dogs and child dont step a single step out of line in anyway is exhausting. I have to make sure not so say the wrong thing or even put a dish in the wrong place. Even though I am the only one that cleans, cooks most nights, and makes sure the house is swept every day, I am still being yelled at and attacked at all angles and its so hard to speak my case to them who never do anything wrong. I get this is there house, trust me. I am not rude or insensitive to that fact. Its just if you are going to allow people to live with you and they do pay their portion and they do make sure the house is clean and that food is cooked, why bitch at them about every single one of your own short comings or plot to get them thrown out or their dogs sent to the pound or worse, killed? Its pathetic! I would never do that to someone I opened up my home to, especially when they are doing their part and they try their hardest to help you out with your stress level. Blaming everyone else never solved anyone's issues. 
Again however, I am so thankful for the blessings that keep coming my way. Awesome job hopefully, new place soon, cant wait for September, and looking forward to missing something on the 20th.....Ill explain later.
