My life is finally picking up...

I opened my first, single checking account yesterday. Needed it for something to be able to save. I hadn't had one in just my name yet, and now I do, so I'm pretty happy with that.
Child Care Association just called and told me my 3 yr. old Karyana was accepted at the local daycare program. It's supposed to be good, my ex's cousin worked there for her teaching internship and she said they were great down there. Hopefully everything works out because it scares me to put her in a state run program, but I'm a worry wart.

I went and talked to a friend who had been telling me to come into her sports bar and apply. So I did and she said she would call me this weekend and i oculd start. So money in tips every night will help out and I wont have to wait for a check.
Today I am going to the bank and opening 3 savings accounts, one for each child. I have my own and I'm gonna try and put 20 bucks in every week. So that's 60 bucks a week saved, plus at least 50 - 100 a week for me. I needed to do this from the beginnning.
Angelina did so great at cheerleading yesterday, she was so happy. Team fees are due by Thursday and picture buttons go on sale Thursday, so I need to get one, to wear on my purse, LOL!!!
I applied for fiancial aid and want to go back to school in January. I finallu told my guy friend I just wanted to be friends and he said ok. People keep telling me to go for it, but I told him point blank last night, I just want to be friends and he's ok with it. I told him I have to much going on to add a nother commitment into it and I couldn't put my head 100% into the relationship and it wasn't fair to him. I said I scan my opportunities and possibilities every day and it's not fair to him or my children to hurt him or them. He said ok, and we talked for an hour after that, so I'm doing pretty good i would say.
James didn't want the kids last weekend so his mom took over and she told me he didn't want them, so she took them Fri. night only. But the girls had a day to each of themselves on Monday. Angelina went with James' sister to the beach and Karyana went shopping with James' mom and grandma. The baby stayed with me. I went to wal-mart and while there, I seen James' cousin, Steven ( he's a jerk off ) but he acted like my best friend, one of James' ex coworkers and he wouldn't talk to me but I gestured a hi with a nod of my head, I seen my best friend, James' mom James' grandma and Karyana, I seen a friend of a friend, my mom ran into one of her friends and we were only in Wal - Mart 45 minutes, LOL.
James paid his child support, finally and he has court today for traffic violations so I hope they throw the book at him, but he always comes out smelling like roses. James Wyatt took 9 steps yesterday and it's about time he is 15.5 months old and he doesn't walk, so hopefully he's about to start, YAY!!!

Thought I'd fill yall in, life is going pretty good and I'm pretty happy with it all.
