@Leed...Thank you SOOO much for those ENCOURAGING words! I really needed that. I hope this feeling lasts also and I hope you are doing good as well.

@Hankster...I meant I was broke as in, NO MONEY! lol! Sorry that you have a critical mother, my father was that way to me. I was too young to talk it out with him when it started though, so he got me good. I no longer talk to him. I'm YOUR kid, so, if you don't like me, I don't like you either, parent or not. Tell your mother she has to give respect to get it, from her children or otherwise. UGH! I swear parenting classes should be REQUIRED FOR ALL before pregnancy can even take place. Grr!
