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 appointments. I am still working as a foster care worker. Just reached my one year mark a month ago. I started receiving a match in my retirement from my employer, so I like that something that keeps me motivated. I would like to open up a Roth IRA this year as well if not this year then perhaps next year. I am planning on trying to travel to Albania and Kosova in the summer of 2024. I have to talk with my children's father about it. He won't let them leave the country or get passports so I need to be sure that he will keep them. I haven't met anyone new. I'm not looking I've been pretty busy with this moving stuff and looking for a house. There are day's I wish I had a partner to help me with everything someone to talk with at the end of the night someone to share the exciting things my boys have done. I have 2 more years and I will look for another job. I think it would be best for me to try to work at another agency doing foster care to try to make more money and get the bonus since I took the training 2x now. Not that I want to continue foster care part of me loves fighting for my clients another part is it is utterly exhausting. I have to stay 3 years to become vested so I have two more left and then I can get all of the retirement money that they matched. So if you do not stay the three years then even if you have a match you do not get it unless you stay the three years. I have started researching a lot about retirement and just ways to try and make more money. I would like to try to get a 2nd job but its not really possible at this time.  My job also offers really good PTO benefits so I have lots of time to take of this year :) just took a PTO day on Friday 7th one since I started because I took 6 days back in August to go up north with my family. I definetly enjoyed my time off and look forward to scheduling many more as I learned that after so many hours they don't role over. I had 164 or 168 at the end of last year and techinically I was told they do not all roll over but they are showing they did. So I need to be sure to use my time. Well until next time.

All my love
