About Angela

Last updated July 13, 2009

My name is Angela and I reside in Deer Park, Tx. I am currently a work at home mother to an amazing 9 year old boy. I am also a freelance web-designer. At one time I was considering starting up my own web-publishing business but my plans have changed. I am going back to school as a full time student in the Fall of ‘09 to pursue my dream of becoming a teacher. I want to specialize in teaching handicapped and/or deaf children and I specifically want to teach at a public school. The reason for that is because I believe that there just aren’t enough teachers to teach special needs children in our public school system and I think that’s where I’d be most needed. I have my reasons for my choice of career, and it’s really not for anyone to judge because I simply don’t care what anyone in the internet world thinks of me.

I have several other websites in which I run, mostly blogs. I love blogging, it’s not only a hobby of mine but in the last couple of years has turned into an income as well. Coveted.Net is one of my favorites though because for one, I’ve had it for a quite awhile and I absolutely love it. It’s been through many different changes over the years, going from a stupid blog that really didn’t hold any meaning to a hosting site, then to a collective site and finally I’ve turned it into a parenting type of blog where I talk about things related to being a single parent and anything having to do with family, children or parenting in general.

Some of the things I enjoy doing are reading, blogging, decorating, baking, playing board games with my son and just generally spending time with him. I love drawing, painting, and I even like to color in coloring books. I get the artistic gene from my mother. She’s an amazing artist. I believe that I am a creative person and I enjoy anything that allows me to use my imagination or creativity. I spend most of my days doing the basic “mommy” things, aside from making money, like cleaning, doing laundry, cooking, helping with homework, shopping, and anything else that is required of me as a parent. With that being said, I do not feel my life revolves completely around my child, but my son is most important, even more so than myself and I feel ultimately it is my responsibility to make sure that his needs are fully met. I take motherhood very personally and seriously. My peeves include but are definitely not limited to obscenely rude people, body odor, selfish people (especially selfish parents), people who do not take proper care of their children, inner ugliness, out right cruelty, a dirty home (not messy, but dirty), dirty laundry (the WORST!), greedy people, closed minded people, those who can’t think for themselves (or choose not to), stupidity, and people who choose to depend on others or need their hands held to get anything done in life. I also really can’t stand being lied to. Liars and cheaters absolutely disgust me. This list could go on and on, but I am trying to keep it to a minimum.

About my son.. His name is Eric and he’s a 9 year old boy going in the 4th grade. He’s super smart and amazes me every day. He is currently in the gifted and talented program at school. He loves science and math more than anything and vows that he is going to be a scientist when he grows up. He says he is going to be a successful inventor and already has expressed to me some really amazing ideas for his future. He also loves to cook and said one day he will invent the “world’s greatest BBQ sauce”, as he puts it. He’s a very playful little boy, and also very independent. Eric loves spending time with his friends, he also likes to watch cartoon network, nickelodeon, and the disney channel. He’s quite proficient on the pc for someone of 9 years old, and also enjoys surfing the internet and playing games online as well as learning new things. One of his favorite websites is actually youtube. (He likes looking up legos star wars videos, lol.) Eric is also one of very few children I know that actually loves to eat vegetables. He’ll choose a snack of carrots or celery over a cupcake or cookies any day. Overall he’s a pretty well rounded kid and even with all of my problems and flaws, he’s growing up to be a wonderfully caring, loving and responsible person. If you can’t tell, I am extremely proud of my child and I love him completely. I feel blessed to be his mother.

As for Eric’s father, he took his own life in October of 2006. Although it was a tragedy and I still feel a pain inside when I think of him, it was a selfish decision that he made on his own and there’s really nothing that we can do about that. I don’t hold a grudge, but I don’t believe he was really caring about anyone but himself at that moment and didn’t really give a damn about what kind of impact his actions would have on the people who loved him.

As far as dating goes, I’m not really looking for that at the moment. After a couple of failed relationships and realizing that the quality of men has deminished in the last few years I’m almost compelled to swear of men forever. Maybe.

Anyway, I hope I’ve covered everything, or at least enough to satisfy your curiosity. (If you were curious).
