‘

Why do I always wait for the last second to get my shit together? Oh wait, I already mentioned I do that.

Stuff Portrait Friday this week is ‘on the road’. I was excited about this because I love where I live. I didn’t until awhile back when my depression and anxiety decided that I didn’t need to pay attention that little bill that kept coming in the mail that said, ‘mortgage payment’. There is something about getting a phone call and the words ‘forclosure’ to shock your system into action.
It was then, when I was walking around the school my kids go to that I realized that because I was letting myself hide from my problems I was going to lose everything I was taking for granted.

I’m doing better now. Since then I have only been late on my mortgage payment like 4 times (Shut up. I know. bad. i’m horrible. shoot me. I hate anxiety.)

*footnote hiding in the middle* I’m not allowed to ask you to click my Google Adsense link. So don’t go clicking that Adsense link unless you are totally interested in whatever it is showing you. Don’t do it. Don’t click it, cause i’m only about 200 clicks away from that lens.

And I have also added another stress on the pile:

My Ride. Everyone, meet Morrison. My Van.

It doubles for a love seat and purse rack.

One Mile Away:

Coming down into my part of town

The reason I love where I live:

Alyx’s Teacher

Shea’s Teacher

Kara and Marina’s Teacher

Each one of these teachers love their students. We have one of the best schools in California and I wouldn’t give that up for anything.

This is where my friends live. This is where my kid’s friends live. This is where we all live happily ever after.
