just because giveaway green

Well, as always I am late with everything. It is time for a “Just Because Giveaway though. This month, my dog (Moki) passed away (I did get another one), my Uncle had a stroke and a heart attack, I found out that I have a brother that is older than me and that my brother that passed away when he was 17 had a son (and my Mother ran the little girl off). To top that off, my cousin knows the Grandma but wouldn’t return my texts. Believe me, my family is messed up.
I’ve spent the WHOLE entire month trying to find these two men that are in my family. I’m closet to finding my nephew and I’m very thankful for that.

    This month has been a bit crazy. Illnesses kept running in circles around our household. We all took turns coming down with something, and it would start all over again. Thank goodness the only thing left is a nasty cough for my husband and son. My husband had to get two major tooth extractions done as well.

    Other than that, I have been trying to get through my schooling. I’m an older, non-traditional college student. I’m majoring in Social Work and praying that I will be able to graduate with my first associates degree in May. It has been tough though! I’m taking math statistics and college algebra at the same time. Math has never been my strong subject, but I’m trying!
