Is this thing on??

Considering I have been gone for a while I would be surprised if anyone is still with me.  My life has been through some ups and downs since I last checked in.  I have been living back in my hometown (tiny place in Florida) for about 2 years now.  I still wonder if it was the right thing to do, but in general things are easier here with help.

I ended up meeting and dating a guy.  He moved in with me and we were together for a year.  I look back at it now and I'm ashamed I let things get to where they got.  He is a severly disturbed person and there was no way I coild have fixed him. What started as a world wind romance ended in him physically abusing me and being escorted away by the cops to the nut house.

I'm in sort of a cleansing phase now.  Remebering who I am as an individual and how happy I am to be me.

I still am aspiring to finish school but circumstances have led me to something I never thought I would love.  I have been working with special needs kids and adults with severe developmental and behavioral issues.  I always thought I had no patience but turns out I has a large quantity stashed somewhere.  The kids are trying and violent and often just plain gross, but I love them and they have become my children in a way.

Hope this post finds you all well.  Who knows?  Maybe I will start popping up more again in the blogging world again.

Until next time...  kisses!
