I haven’t had much time this week to hang out with my friends but I have made time to talk to them on the phone about once every other day. One of my goals is to also cut down on the cell phone minutes which I’m pretty sure might kill me next month when I get the bill soooo I’m not sure if this is good or bad. I’ve also been using my text features more to keep in touch throughout the day with people or send funny jokes. It’s not exactly girls night out but I like to make people smile and it makes me feel good.

How I did it: This has been a journey that I can only compare to climbing Mt. Everest with only one arm and four legs. The relationship brought out the worst in me. I spent time blaming him but after awhile the journey became about me. I realized all the things that I had wanted, and felt without, when I was with him. I realized I spent more time trying to reclaim his respect (and in turn about losing my mind over it) than I did… Read how I did it…
I always thought I was a really bad cook but the truth is I never really gave it much attention. I knew the basics, and really not all of them very well, but now that I’ve started really trying I think I’m pretty good at it. My son is loving the new creative stuff I’m making and if the kids are happy then mom’s happy. I’ve managed to even lose a few pounds!!
O.k. well not my birthday BUT I landed a new position paying a good dime with good hours. It’s a position I can be proud of and it lends itself to my best intellectual traits. For the first time in about six months I am back on track financially and though I’m sure my ex, or his family, will do something to throw a spoke in that wheel (lately it’s what they’re best at and it seems their favorite hobby) I’m not going to let that thought ruin the whole thing for me. What happens will happen and I am so much better prepared after this last week for the future. I am sound and happy, maintaining a well balanced life with my kids and a great family. I have so much to be proud of!!!!!!!!!!!
