So much on my mind that I can't recline. . . .

MAN! So much has been going on! I've been wanting to blog it out, and haven't been able to. It seems like things are calming down now, tho. Here are the highlights:

We have to move. . . AGAIN! We just moved into this house in February, and we really like it. Amani loves it. He knows where everything is, and how to get where he wants to go. But apparently, our landlord is a fraud. Not only does he not own this house thereby having no authority to rent it out, but he was living here RENT-FREE! So HUD/PEMCO, the actual owners of the house, informed us that we have 60 days to vacate the house. Then, on top of all this, our "landlord" doesn't want to return our security deposit in full! So, DRAMA.

Then, a couple weeks later, we get into an accident, on the interstate, at night, in the rain, with an EIGHTEEN WHEELER! He decides to switch lanes, although his mirror is fogged up and he can't see our car right next to him. Thankfully, I saw him coming over and I swerved quickly enough to avoid him slamming into my door. He clipped the rear driver's side of the car, causing us to spin across the interstate from the far right lane PAST the far left lane, stopping INCHES before hitting a concrete wall separating two interstates. The damage to the car was minimal. Needless to say, we were all so beyond blessed that it didn't end much worse.

I've spent the past few weeks trying to figure out how to afford school this semester. End result: no classes, just work.

On the positive side of things, I've almost completed my doula training. I'm back on my path spiritually, and I feel as though I've once again found my life path. We're still looking for a new place, but I feel calm about it. I've prayed on it, and I have faith that the universe will provide.

Now that there are considerably less stressors in my life, I will try to be more on top of blogging.
