Math

In my consumer math class when we are supposed to be doing math, they play around with mirrors.  This class helps me learn some strange things. It teaches me about my teachers kids likes and dislikes, she explains how she takes care of her kids and how they react to it. Most of our class is talking about our teachers kids because nobody wants to do math. Sometimes I like it but than again I want to learn about math.

Fate

Fate always happens when we least expect it. When I moved to Altoona Iowa we lived with my step father. He was an amazing man he took in a women and three kids and loved us like we were his own. Than after two years fate took his life. He found out he had cancer and it was so hard on us because he just turned 40 he had so much life ahead of him and fate took that away from him. He passed away on Valentine's day 5 years ago now. I miss him so much that sometimes its hard to bare. Fate can hand you some really bad things but we have to learn to live through it.

Goal

My one major goal that I want to accomplish before I end up dieing is, get through college and become a vet-tech, own my own "ranch" and take care of sick animals. (all kinds)

The goals I need to accomplish to become any of that is to graduate high school with a good GPA and amazing grades. I would need to get accepted into a great college that will help me learn to become a vet-tech and get amazing grades in college to graduate that. I would have to get a job in the field of a vet-tech and save up money to get my "ranch" and start with some animals that I will be familiar with like a horse a cat and a dog. Than I would have to get a website set up explaining what is it that I do and how people can find where I live. I would have to get the word out to people around me so they can tell other people. I picked this goal for myself because I love to help animals of all kinds and I hate to see them get turned down because people think they don't have a chance to live.

what if..

You're heading for a divorce...

~How would you settle property, child custody, divorce costs?

     -If I was getting a divorce I would make sure I would have custody of the children and let their father see them every weekend and, I would try and get along with the father as best as I could just for the children. I would try and have their father agree that we sell the house and live in different houses but split the cost of the money we get out of the house being sold.

• Single mother

~How will you cope emotionally and financially?

     - If I was a single mother with children I would find a great paying job that would give me reasonable hours. If I couldn't find a job like that i would get the next best paying job I can find. I would buy an apartment that was cheap enough that I can pay the monthly bill. I would never neglect my children to work more hours I would spend all my extra time with them that i could. A conflict that could happen is not being able to get a job that will pay enough to support me and my children.

• Elderly parents need to move in with you.

~What conflicts and adjustments will arise?

      -If I had to have my mother or father move in with me and live for a long amount of time I would probably be very unhappy. I would have to buy more food to feed everyone in the house. My bills would go up a lot more from what they already would be. My family might get into a lot of disagreements and try and have people pick sides and than everyone would be mad.

• You just remarried.

~How will family discipline be handled? What name do you expect the children to call you? Where should you live? How should you divide physical space?

     -If I ever got remarried and the other spouse had children I would ask him or the ex wife/husband how they would handle their child if they did something that was not permitted for them to do. I would expect the children to call me by my own name until they were comfortable to call me mom or step-mom but if they are never comfortable with it that would be fine for me. I would ask all the children if they would like to move to a new house and if not I would talk to all the children about me moving in with the other spouse. If the house we lived in was limited on space I would pare up the children girl/girl boy/boy and as close to age as I could and hope for the best.

love

Love, a four letter word people say they know very well. They don't. There are many forms of love mother-children, family-friends, grandparents-grandkids, father-children, aunts-nephews, uncles-nieces, husband-wife, etc. Most think when someone dies or leaves that their loves is broken, sometimes it is if you let it be that way but love can live on if you chose to live on. I've lost many people in my life family and friends, but the love I have for them has never left it is still with me this this day and always will be until I die. My point I this post is that love is love no matter what way it is being used. If you love someone let them see  how much and never stop loving them ever. You will regret it in the long run.
