Planning to blog after this term

I have been thinking a lot lately whether to keep blogging or not. Even this was a requirement for class, I have enjoyed writing my thoughts. After this term over, I will keep blogging on daily things that are happening or how next term is going. It doesn't bother me that many people don't comment on my blog posts. Writing is a good way to relieve stress for me while others love to write.

Peer Reviews

I like peer reviews because it is a good way to get feedback from our classmates. During this process, it is good to accept the good with the bad. I am a little nervous about everyone reading my paper because I do believe it's a little harsh. I don't want people thinking that all persons that have or had an addiction problem is a bad person. I can't really remember when I did a peer review but I do know that it was a good learning experience. Also its fun to see what everyone's opinion is on different types of topics; some can relate others don't.

On another note, it's storming here right now and I am trying to stay awake. I feel like I have not sat down in days and my back is killing me; doing a mans job isn't easy on your body. ** :) ** But atleast I get to go to Florence, SC this weekend to visit my grandparents.

The Past 6 weeks

The past 6 weeks have been a challenge for me. For some reason work has been keeping away from home and very busy. My husband has been getting on to me for not being at home much. Right now, I am trying to figure out a way to be home with my family more, work and still make money, and have time for school. This coming week should be better because I am not working so many hours in a day and I will have time for everything. Taking a break from school has been a thought in my mind for some time but I am so close to finishing. Does anyone have any advice???

Ashlyn's first Birthday

This past week I have been doing everything in my power to give my daughter the best birthday. On top of her Birthday, work has been keeping unusually busy which isn't normal. The party went great until a friend/landlord told me that during the party my sister-in-law went up stairs and came back down 10 minutes later acting very strange. I have had thoughts that she was back on drugs for example Xanax and Cocaine. Because over the last 6 months she has lost about 40 lbs and is scary skinny. The funny thing about her going up stairs is the fact that nobody was up there. Sadly my husband and I know that she was doing cocaine in our bathroom, but we can't prove it nor can I call her out on it. I'm hurt that she would do that at our house during our daughters birthday party. Many of you may know that the paper that I am writing is about addiction sort of based on her past experience with prescription drugs and recreational drugs. Well that is enough for now, I hope that everyone had a great weekend.
