So, I’m still trying to get the hang of this blogging thing and thought I’d give you all an update on my crazy life…!
Things are calming down a bit in some ways, which is a blessing and much needed for my recently elevated stress level. J. has backed off from harassing me a thousand times a day, thanks to his father threatening him to not speak to him again if he didn’t back off, along with me beginning to take action by cancelling his cell phone and car insurance. Silence is golden! Moving forward…
Ben (16) now has his driver’s permit and I have been actively teaching him how to drive, with a little help from his father and Papa Wayne. This is extremely anxiety provoking, yet exciting. Ben is learning very quickly as he certainly has the “driving gene” which runs in the family! Faith already wants to drive as well and has been cooperating nicely from the back seat now that I’m not in constant terror.
Faith is back to her dance lessons on Saturdays and is now at the perfect developmental stage to actually pay attention and learn the steps; she loves her teachers and her princess dance clothes. I peek through the window shades of the dance studio so she doesn’t get distracted and continually wave to me! It is hysterical!
Work is busy but great. I am soooo relieved that I decided to wait a bit before pursuing my Master’s Degree. Life is so busy I have no idea how I survived my BSN program. Those 3 years are seriously a massive blur retrospectively. I guess my obsessive focus and nose to the grindstone was partially a survival technique for my unhappy situation at home; which has done a complete 180 since June!
Calm and peace prevail these days for me- busy as hell, but happy and content!

Yay, I can finally access this blog!
I'm so proud of you for doing what you need to do with J. You are doing the right thing. There is surely something good about him or you wouldn't have fallen in love with him in the first place, but that doesn't mean he can ever be who you need him to be. I really am very impressed with your focus and strength and the example you are setting for Ben and Faith.
It's great to hear the tidbits about your lives; Ben's driving, Faith's dancing...I'll check in regularly. Give Ben and Faith big hugs for me. They're awesome kids.
Love you.

I have also really enjoyed reading the updates on your Blog, which inspired me to add my own 2 cents!
Thank you SO much for your kind words and encouragement, it really means a lot to me. The past couple months have seriously been a struggle in many ways, yet exciting and envigorating in other ways. Right now, the financial stress of trying to get myself caught up, and hopefully eventually ahead of the game, is my biggest cause for insomnia. I am SO tired from the weight of it; but this too shall pass as I keep plugging away.
Was Harper OK with her room after we stayed in it for the wedding? I tried to put it back as it was so she wouldn't notice! LOL
I would love to try to plan a w/e we can come up and visit you, even if we have to plan it way out. Miss you and love you, D.
