It's Finally Done!

I am so excited!!! My garage was finished yesterday afternoon and it looks better than it did before the fire. All was needed was a push from the inspection dept and a year & a month later it's done.

I cannot wait to begin using it. My kids want to convert it into a room so they can sleep in there. I don't think so they are only 11 and 12 years old. It had to be boys. I am just so happy to have it back.

On Monday June 6th I started my college courses. I have one online class and one traditional class. I am so psyched about going back to school. I have to try to get in to the programs and financial aid. I am trying to get a degree in psychology so that I can become a counselor. I am aiming towards a career and not just a job. I need to be able to support my children in all their endeavors. I ordered my books from a rental place and they should ship within the next week I hope.

I have put more focus on my candle business and trying to get back on track. I let go for awhile after my baby was born and now I need to work harder to achieve my goals. If you or anyone you know would like to book a Gold Canyon Candle party let me know. I offer catalog parties, open houses and personal shopping appts. Order online 24/7 at www.kozycandles.com your business is greatly appreciated!

I finally got called into work yesterday. I was so excited. It's been two months since I last worked. I will still continue to search for another part time job. I am afraid part time is all I can do at this point unless I can work from home. I have my two little ones that I care for and I do not want to be gone that long.

I also need to get my butt in gear regading my health. I need to start an exercise program. I also need to eat healthier but I cannot seem to kick the chocolate, that is my weakness! I have cut back on drinking soda and drinking more water. I am proud of myself on that note. Even my kids have noticed this too. I think I will take it slow and start walking 30minutes a day. I can walk around my neighborhood and pass out Tupperware flyers as I do. I will make it make for both health & business.

Tomorrow is the last day of school for my kids. Then it's summer break for them. I have one going to middle school and another going into high school. I am so proud of my children all of them. Hopefully Lily will be starting preschool next month. I have her on the waiting list and they told me they would be calling at the end of this month. She is so excited. We have been working on potty training her so she can go to school.
So much is going on in my life and I am very proud that I can handle everything and not freak out. Then again I am a mom and moms handle lots of things. Shout out to all the moms out there. Great Job on all you do!

Finally Fixing!

I woke up to the sound of the phone ringing and when I answered it the voice said "are you home?" I answered yes and then I was told that the maintenance crew was going to fix my garage. It has been a little over a year since it burned, last May. I was si excited. I had to move the things I had in the garage out in the yard and wouldn't you know it's supposed to rain this weekend. So all my things in the open but at least they are covered up.

I had to tie up the dogs so they wouldn't be in the way. I had a hard time catching Roxy once I let her out of her area she ran wild. I chased her all over the back yard gave up and came inside. I was going to lure her with food but when I went to the back door she was waiting for me. If I had only known it would have saved me time.

I also heard from the crew that they were instructed by the owner of the house to only fix the roof and paint the garage so that it will pass inspection. That is the only reason they are even doing anything because if they don't fix it the rent won't get paid. According to the owner the insurance money hasn't came through yet. Does it really take that long for homeowner's insurance to come through?

I hope it passes inspection. I really want my garage I need it. Here are the pics so far:
