Okay I set up a blog maybe 6 months ago and then did nothing with it, so I decided to try it again. I think I can make it work this time, I do have way more time now that I am laid off. So here we go...
A little about me, for those of you that may not know me... although I do not know if strangers read other peoples blogs? My name is Cindy and I am a 23 year old single mother of a wonderfully brilliant 3.5 year old, Bella. I was recently laid of, in February, from my position as an event planner after 2 and a half years. I kind of saw it coming when we got word from corporate that they were going to be opening a sales call center at World Headquarters to "help" with the calls. And then a few weeks later I get the news that my position will be eliminated in 2 weeks, so I had to work for the company for 2 more weeks... fun fun! I was not devastated, it was actually good timing. We were just moving into our new house a few weeks later so I was able to pack and move and unpack without having to also work 40 hours a week. I have decided to take advantage of this time in my life and take it easy this summer. Never, since I have had Bella, have I had much time to just enjoy being a mom, even when I was not working I was thinking about work or doing homework or doing housework etc.
I will just through in a short bit about the other person that helped me create Bella, her "dad", and then not mention it anymore. He has never been a big part of her life, and the little bit of time he has been around was a mess. Basically I spent a bunch of money in court trying to protect Bella and he still won some rights, with fine print, to see her. Well after all of that he never really showed any interest in seeing her and has not seen her for close to 2 years. I am overjoyed that he backed off the way he did, now I know my baby is safe and happy. Anyway that is enough words spent on that subject...
Now let's talk about the most important person in my life... BELLA! Bella is, as most children are to their parents, the love of my life. I was 20 when I had her and she has changed me and formed me into the person and mommy I was always meant to be. She is so smart, I know I am biased, but I really think she has always been slightly advanced for her age. With her brilliance comes trouble, I often call her "sassy" to which she yells back at me :) Bella is also extremely high-strung, people assure me that she is not a.d.h.d. she is just 3... I hope their right because I don't know if I can deal with this hyperness for much longer. Hmmm what else can I tell you about Bella Jo...
- she can be found dancing about 75% of the time that she is awak.
- her favorite color is red (did not know this until I just asked her).
- she is best friends with my best friend's daughter, Avery.
- she loves saying things in Spanish to me because I don't understand most of the words.
- her favorite people are Nana and Papa (my parents).
- she can make a mess out of a clean house in 60 seconds flat.
- she is a social butterfly, the girl gets upset when she says hi to someone in the store and they do not say hi back.
- she is not afraid of timeouts anymore, yep I know fun for me ;)
- she is not a fan of storms
