Doordashing with a focus of paying of my student loans

 April 8th, 2023 Hello World, Teela Love here, so I just started Doordashing last week on Thursday so March 30th. Shout out to my gf Shatiena that was her birthday <3 love you girl!

So as of today my student loan debt is at $42,529

Visiting Toronto 2023

Image
  March 26, 2023 I just am getting home from getting my kids from their fathers. I went to Toronto, Canada yesterday. I left my brothers at 6 am. I was held up at immigration again for about 30 minutes. It was early in the morning March 27, 2023 They asked me question’s about where I was visiting. I told them Toronto. They had me sit down and wait. A little while later I was called into a interview room where they went over my back ground check and asked me questions. I was arrested in 2008 and put on probation due to stealing and they asked about that. They asked what I was going to do in Toronto and asked me if I was going to see anyone. I stated no I was going to visit and see tourist things. Try and go to CN tower. The guy stated that it I understand why they are questioning me and told him yes because as a single female woman traveling it is not common. He said ok and stamped a paper and said I was good to go. So on I went and headed towards Toronto. Below I have added p...

Beautiful Day

 March 19, 2023 Good morning World, How are you? I am doing wonderful. I am currently in the UP at my brother's house. Decided to come up a week ago. Almost did not because of the weather but of course that didn't stop me. However, it really wasn't that bad. I am still doing foster care definitely feeling much better about it the next 3 weeks will be a bit hectic with reports but its all good. I am in the process of buying a house. Something needs to be done with the title so that is being fixed so hopefully I can close in the next three weeks. The house needs a new work and some work done but its a good size and has a lot of potential. I have been working on paying off my student loans and will be focusing on it more now and paying more down. I really hope they pass the 20k to help pay off I am currently at around $43k. It is really nice that my car is paid off so I don't owe on that. Once I buy the house I will start making by weekly paments rather than monthly becaus...

Hello 2023

 January 16, 2023 Hello world. <3  I am getting ready to move yet again. Follow my trails as I run from one place to the next. I am moving  back to Detroit as I need help with my boys while I work and some of my family is there. I am in search of buying a house but no luck yet. So on to another apartment it will be. Zaydin just turned 6 last week and had his birthday party on Saturday. It was really great and the kids all had a lot of fun. Sebastian's birthday party is in 3 weeks at the same place the Reptarium Museum. He is excited for it. We will be moving right after. My lease is up 2/28/23. I notified my landlord already. This week I plan to call and set up an appointment to look at apartments with the same landlord I had when I was in Detroit, but I am hoping to get a different apartment elsewhere. This single parenting thing is a struggle. It gets very lonely at times. I am almost always exhausted between work and keeping up with my boys with school and appointme...

When life brings family together

  November 28, 2022, Today we celebrated and mourned the loss of my cousin Grady Carden III. I am very close with his brother Michael my cousin. My sister Star came down from the UP to attend the funeral. My deepest condolences go out to my cousin Tina and Michael and Bam Bam and the rest of the family. I also got to meet a cousin that I have been waiting a very long time to meet as well. Mae Mae she lives in Florida, and she came up for the service. So that was very nice to finally meet her in person. As an adoptee and meeting birth family this was a moment and a new chapter for my book of life. I'm exhausted and will head to bed now. Happy Independence Day Albania. All my love #dashuri Teela Love 

Life as it is...

 November 19, 2022 Hello world... Here are my boys Zaydin 5 and Sebastian 7 August 2022 💕💖💗 2022 is almost over. So I have been looking for a house, I have put in I think 5 different offers and one finally accepted me. so I am in the process of all the paperwork and what not for that house. We will see if it works out. Sebastian got student of the Month in sept or oct so very proud of him for that. His 2nd grade teacher is just amazing, and we will miss her when we move. Zayin is doing good in kindergarten. He continues to have issues with pooping and still shits his pants this is absolutely exhausting. He also has issues with getting angry very fast and wanting to destroy things or throw things, so we are working on that. I am coming up to my year mark of working back in the field. I am looking forward to my company to start matching a percent towards my retirement. This has been something I started this year with my job so its super exciting for me. My office in Troy flooded 6...

Defeated

 September 9, 2022 Hello world... tonight I am feeling defeated. Deep down I know this feeling will pass. Last weekend was Labor Day weekend so a holiday weekend. My children's father took them for the long weekend. I worked all weekend every single day and I worked 12 hours on Friday. Sunday evening, I was feeling much more accomplished. Monday morning, I went to work as well. I finished my filing and my case contacts. I felt great. Social work-foster care is so difficult. Monday, I worked 7:30 until about 1 pm I wrapped it up and felt so great. I went home and got my laundry and went to the laundry mat and did 2 loads of laundry. Picked up my boys and put them to bed. Tuesday morning got my kiddo's ready for school. Took Sebastian to school and Zaydin and I went to a doctor appointment. And that is where the emails started rolling in for work... and messages... and Zaydin is getting restless at the doctors. We finally wrapped it up and got out of there. Zaydin's school ...
