Finding myself

I haven't been on here in a while but now that I am taking college courses one of the ways to improve my writing skills is to write even more. So I will now be keeping up with posting on here so I can improve my writing. Some things have been changing with me. I am trying to be a better, more honest person, and trying to get my life together.
I am taking college classes online through the University of Phoenix. I am going for my Associates in Human Services Management. I want to be a psychiatric therapist. I would also like to get a degree in psychology. Psychology has always interested me, I guess partly because I am bipolar. I am on medication for it now and it seems to be helping. I have a great support system. I a few friends that I can really talk to and be honest about my feelings. Brittany, Amy, Jeff. I am hoping to eventually be able to find a way to get a car and get a job so I can get out of my parents house before I kill my mother. My mother is a total bitch from hell and I know it's bad to say this but I really wish she would either leave for good, or go drive off a cliff, I don't care what she does as long as she is out of my life. She is a control freak and is the reason why I can't get a job. She puts restrictions on me so I have to stay here and I can't take it anymore. First chance I get, I am sooo out of here.
Brittany and I have been talking and hanging out more lately which has been great. We actually get along really well which is surprising cause I usually don't get along with females very well, except for Amy. Brittany is brilliant, beautiful, funny, and a great person. She is going through some shit right now with her ex-best friend who turned out to be a total lying skank bag that should be dragged through Iraq tied to the back of a truck but that's just my opinion. I love Brittany and I appreciate her friendship so much. She is the one who really made me believe that I could go to college and be successful at it. She's been great and I will always be here for her. We've had our ups and downs but we usually come out of it ok.
Amy, unfortunately lives in Texas and we don't get to talk all that often. I miss her a lot.
Jeff and I have become very close in the past year. He recently broke up with the wildebeest he was dating, (now if the darksider wants to talk about psycho she should talk about the kockroach LOL) She was crazy and didn't like it for Jeff to hang out with anyone of the opposite sex especially. Oh well now that she is gone we get to hang out again. He came with me and the kids to the park Saturday and Brittany came with us to two parks on Sunday.
I love an appreciate all my true friends who are there for me and I will always be here for them as well. Today is day 4 of my diet...so far so good. I keep forgetting to get on the scale in the mornings though. I can't wait to get rid of this weight. I love my kids, my life, and my amazing friends.
