How quickly a day melts into three or four and now here I am almost a week later finally posting again. The week was full of demands of my energy and time. A lot of which was great, football games, times with my house sons, time with my daughters. Some of it was rather stressful, times in the emergency room trying to convince my mother that life is worth fighting for and living. Frustrated times as she stubbornly demands to sign herself out AMA and the doctors assure her, that she will die. My mother has been living with a terminal diagnosis for 18 years now, and with a couple of terminal illnesses for a few years after that. Her emphysema prevents her body from absorbing the necessary oxygen, and then her organs and brain end up compromised with issues of their own. Moving beyond that...

I haven't been working for a week and a few days since my appointment officially ended and I await approval from the union for an extension. They threw out the search which now enables me to be considered, which is cool. Another job has opened up which would be director of the Women of Color Leadership Network, which would be a great thing. The only issue is that I love love love working with the youth, and although the other job offers more money, I think I will hold out for the youth position. I am currently snuggling with my baby girl, while watching a show and catching up online. Little missy should be asleep, but truth is she has been keeping hours with the scholars. I am working on getting her to bed at 8:00 but this had rarely been her bedtime. Until next time...
