Tonight was ‘meet the teacher’ night at A and N’s school. A’s teacher seems pretty pleasant and is very enthusiastic about teaching the third grade. N has the same teacher for fifth grade that he had last year, which makes me very happy as N is sometimes a bit quiet. Having Mr. S again this year can only help strengthen his sense of well being and self confidence.
On the dark side . . . I watched LA Ink for the first time and was surprisingly impressed with not only the show but the artists as well. It was great to get a closer look at Hannah Atchinson and Corey Miller. I got a big kick out of seeing Hannah tattoo! By the time I was finished watching several episodes I was felt ‘more’ inspired than I have in a long time. There have been so many times over the past year when I wanted to throwm my machine down and just say fuck it. The show helped me regroup to an extent. I REMEMBER why I began tatting in the first place.
I can only hope that this weekend will go smoothely. We’ve been playing catch up for the past several weeks. I’ve always believed that if we don’t jump, something will eventually push us . . .
My goal for the next week is to look at some buildings in the area. G drove me past a few yesterday. We always talk about it. I know, I know, nothing will ever happen unless we make the first move to improve our lives. We owe this to our family and to ourselves.
