i am usually tired because it is seven in the morning but today i actually feel ready to go and coffee didn't play a part in it which is unusual. today i don't have to get to work until 10:30 which is nice so after this class i actually have free time. work and school both is really taking a toll on me, but i know i can do it. me and a friend were talking the other day about high school. at the time we hated it and never wanted to go but now i would do anything for my high school years back. i really did good off way to much in high school and thats why i plan on pushing myself because i want a better  future for me and my family. i wish brett would enroll in school again but he does have a good job. he told me he should be getting a promotion here soon which will be nice. right now i am trying t olook for a house for all of us and its really stressful because i want to find a nice house that is in a good price range and that is on a good side of town.  i really don't want to live in an apartment because i have done that once before and hated having so many neighbors, i lived on the bottom floor so that ruined it for me.

my mom went to florida on sunday and i already miss her. she ususally is the one who watches braxen and it has been really hectic trying to find a reliable baby sitter while she is gone.  she will be gone until september 8th. i really wish i could have gone with her but since i have bills to pay i can't miss work or school for that matter. i really enjoy going to school again, it has been really fun and i honestly think i forgot how much fun i really did have. i really goofed off in high school and really regret it now. i wish i would have put more effort into my senior year escpeccially. i am so tired but i am getting used to this new schedule. it has been really hard getting used to it but i think it will be fine as the semester goes on. i really enjoy this class, usually english is my weak spot but i really do like it. i prefer writing over reading then doing an essay any day, but i do enjoy reading for recreation.

Intro

Hi my name is Chantelle. I am nineteen. I was born and raised here in Springfield and graduated from Glendale High School in 2011. I am a devoted mommy to my little 7 month old son, Braxen. He is definitely my pride and joy. I did have him young but that only means that I will be able to spend more time with him in the long run. I am a full time student here at OTC, this is my first semester here. I am trying to get my Associate of Arts in Teaching, from there I plan on transferring to MSU to get my Bachelor's degree in Primary Education. I want to be an elementary teacher, I would prefer to teach 2nd or 3rd grade. I stay very busy with 12 hours of school, 35 hours of work, and trying to soak up as much time as I can with my little man. Family and friends play a huge part in my life, without them I don't know where I would be today. In my spare time, that I don't have very much of,  I like to play slow pitch softball. I have played softball since I was eight and still love to get on the field, it brings back good memories. Well, I wish you all luck in furthering your education and I hope you have a good semester!!

I am so tired it is not even funny. Having to leave school and go to work just makes me want to pull my hair out. I wish I had time to do my homework right after class instead of having to wait until i get off at night.  Because when i get off at night i want to spend time with brett and braxen. brett is my boyfriend of 2 years now and also the father of my child, and i love him a lot. Even though he doesn't think so sometimes i would die for him if i had to. My moms birthday is today, she will only be 36, she started young but she is the best mom i could ever ask for. In my opinion she is to nice, she gets hurt and used way to much and it pisses me off.  She is going to florida on the 25th and i don't know what i am going to do. i dont live with my mom but i do see or talk to her everyday. she watches braxen on mondays tuesdays and wednesdays so it is going to be weird getting off and not going to her house. she will be there for 2 weeks, i hope she enjoys herself because she definately deserves a get away. i wish i could go with her but i have bills to pay so not working is not an option for me.  I only have 2 vaction days left so it wouldnt cover the 2 weeks.  Work is sometimes stressful becuase i work for at&t and there are many rude customers that call in about their service not working. i do believe that god puts you exactly where he wants you because i met my best friend at work. i really lost all my friends from high school when i got pregnant because i went from the crazy party girl to a girl that sits at home and constantly munched on whatever i could get my hands on. i was very emotional and mean when i was pregnant, its safe to say that the hormones did get the best of me. but i feel like anyone would be if they were being kicked from the inside. for the most part i loved being pregnant, but at the end i started to hate it. i do feel bad for everyone that was around me at the time.
