tooth

Aliyah finally lost one of her front teeth....That thing was hanging by a thread forever and she didn't want to pull and wouldn't let me pull it. Finally the other night, i was in the shower and she came bursting in and said, "mom, it fell out!" she was so excited! she totally wanted the tooth fairy to leave 20 bucks, but then thought about it and said, "well, one tooth means one dollar" but she's a lucky girl, because the tooth fairy left her 3 dollars. She spent it at McD's on a happy meal...she even ordered it herself. Cute, love that girl! now the other front tooth is hanging on for dear life....can't wait til she loses that one too, that's gonna be a killer smile!

life as i know it

Well...as you guys know my life has changed dramatically since the last post I wrote last year in April....

I am a single mother now; Aliyah is almost done Kindergarten; I live in an apartment again; I am regaining my independence and finding myself again...It's definitely been an adjustment and there are things I miss about my "old" life, but I am "me" again. I know what I want and I'm not afraid to wait for it...Aliyah and I spend good quality time together and good quality time apart (which definitely makes our time together even better). But, at the end of the day, I'm still the same woman, only better! This has got to be my year! Glad to be back blogging again too :)
