Hi blog friends!
I'm just checking in from Seattle. This week has been amazing thus far. Lots of time with friends and family. Wearing scarves and boots every day. And my mommy blog presentation went GREAT yesterday. It's nice to be done with all the stress of preparing, and now I just get to go back today and enjoy the final presentations.
I have been so busy talking about and learning about all things INTERNET RESEARCH at this conference that I've barely had time to check my e-mail this week, much less get on the blog.
But I will be back in full force next week! Until then I'm celebrating 100 followers on the blog! It's an exciting moment, and I LOVE that it happened on the exact day that I was presenting all my blogging research. In fact, I'm so excited about it, I might just do a giveaway next week to celebrate my readers!

Hey, I sell headbands in my Etsy shop =) www.etsy.com/shop/threebeescreations
And the story you told over on Ashley's blog really hits home for me, because it's pretty much exactly my family. I went to college originally, but I dropped out at first because I wasn't ready for college. So I worked and had fun, and then enlisted in the Air Force. After a medical discharge (which I still wish I fought harder, I fought it for six months), I worked some more, then got pregnant, moved home, got married, had three kids (I have an ovulation disorder that causes birth control to be pretty much useless) and now we are struggling day to day to survive. Like right now, we had our van repossessed, we almost lost our apartment, and we're eating sandwiches with Budig meat and half a slice of bread because we don't know when we'll next get some money because Rudy's job has gone to hell.
It sucks!
OK, sorry I totally went off there, but I haven't really told anyone how bad it's gotten except for one friend because I really don't want my family to know and think we are failures, because for most of my life my family has thought of me as the failure.
OK, I am shutting up now.
I liked your post, is what I was trying to say. Ha.
hi-- jumping over from the shine project-- I actually live in Seattle and grew up in the area. (but went to a public high school... but still at a school where college was taken for granted.)
i loved what you had to say. thank you for the inspiration and dedication you have.
also-- I make headbands... :)

Hooray for Seattle! I'm right below you in Portland. Love the NW, even when it's all cold and grey:-) xoxo
Thanks for writing that lovely post for Ashley's blog today. I'm training to be a high school teacher right now and I'm in my last year of grad school. I'm working with students every day (freshman and juniors mostly) and most of them have solid backgrounds but occasionally I'll come across some that have lives that seem to beat them down. As I'm in Virginia, I can't make the event but I hope you have a great time and good luck!
