I've had some major decisions to make this last week. Funny enough, I haven't made any one of them. I mean, they're urgent, I just don't want to jump into something quickly. I've learned a bit ago, that a swift decision is often regretted, when it's about something life changing.

For one, I'm considering whether or not it would be a positive to put my eldest daughter in Preschool. This may seem like a, "duh" answer for some parents, but not for my husband or myself. You see, my family is somewhat of a firm believer of not starting school too early.

I mean, I was reared with the idea that kids need time to be kids, and should not be overworked from the moment they can go to the bathroom by themselves.

This is directly contrary to the opinion of many parents now adays. Though, I can't rely on a society that likes pawning its kids off on someone else as soon as they can, so that their, "loving" parents, can continue to do what they did at 18.

Honestly, unlike most people, I don't give two shits about what my parents, or anyone else has to say about my childrens' education. I mean, I'll listen to my parents, but ultimately, it's my husband, my daugthers and mine's decision.

I didn't potty train her as soon as she could walk, but now she's doing it upon her own accord. I don't have to force her, I didn't force her to do anything. From eating solid food, to walking, to drawing, or anything of that sort.

I know, it seems I've made up my mind on the matter, but there's a slew of other issues that make me titter between letting her go, and keeping her at home.

I mean, she already knows her primary colors, she knows to count to fifteen. She knows some of her address. She knows her name, my youngest daughter's name, so, preschool as far as the education, well, it's unnecessary.

The problem is, there aren't many positive families around the area, so, yeah, my daughter doesn't have any little friends to further her social circle, and those are needed to instill positive esteem in girls.

Because of this, I figured, preschool may help her out with making little friends, and deciding for herself on subjects I wouldn't otherwise know she was interested in.

This decision is still up in the air...I guess I'll know, when I'll know. :D


This is basically the biggest issue in my life right now. :D

I mean, I haven't finished the next chapter for Crimson Stigma, but, lol, I usually bump out a chapter in like, a day, so I don't fret over that.

I still haven't found an artist who I think would make an adequate reindition of my written characters. I'm still looking though. (Well, I've found some, but, they aren't excepting commissions, so, yeah, that places me back where I started. :) )

Speaking of artists, here are a few of those I really admire. I'll change these periodically, but, I've had a thing for angels lately. Pictures of them get me inspired sometimes. (Though not all the art is of Angels, some, are just beautiful pieces.)

Here they are:
