Who I am is who I wanna be

[KarenMarieS]

I was born three months too early
The doctor gave me thirty days
But I must've had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace

I guess I'll keep on livin'
Even if this love's to die for
'Cause your bags are packed and I ain't cryin'
You're walkin' out and I'm not trying
To change your mind 'cause I was born to be

Chorus:
The baby girl without a chance
A victim of circumstance
The one who oughta give up, but she's just
Too hard headed
A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

I don't believe in self-pity
It only brings you down
May be the queen of broken hearts
But I don't hide behind the crown
When the deck is stacked against me
I just play a different game
My roots are planted in the past
And though my life is changin' fast
Who I am is who I wanna be

A single mom who works two jobs
Who loves her kids and never stops
With gentle hands and the heart of a fighter
I'm a survivor

But I must've had my mama's will
And God's amazing grace

The last thread had some yucky feelings on it, and officially today I am 6 yrs post bomb,and dont want to count anymore bomb annys!

I have a WONDERFUL man in my life. He has listened to me whine and pizz and moan all week about not feeling good and people who have dissapointed me and hurt me this week; he really couldnt of been more understanding, Hell I even got sick of listening to me!

So a new thread with hopefully a brighter outlook!

Awwww! How sweet about your parents! My parents would have been married 50 years if my Dad had lived that long. As it was they made it to 47. The doted on and were devoted to each other. In some ways I feel like it "set me up"! I had the expectation that my M would be the same.

I had read somewhere that the chances of getting D are much smaller if your parents and your spouses parents are not D. Well, ExH's mom and dad were married OVER 50 years and then his dad died.

Six years post bomb! You have come a long way, baby! I am so happy for you about B...and I am really really ready for my turn! LOL!

Take care,
stay cool!

Hi SG!
Yes, this is exactly what I heard and my ex in laws were married almost 60 yrs before my FIL died, I thought ex and I had it in the bag! Guess its not always true.

You will get your turn SG, you have soooo much to offer to a R, I've always thought that about you, your smart and witty and kind, Some man is going to be very lucky when he finds you!!

Have a good day!

Happy Friday everyone!

Wow , days go by fast-- when your not working I guess!

Had a great time w/ girlfriends last night, did something a little different , and it turned out to be quite interesting.
then out to dinner at a new place. All in all , a great night.

S seems a bit more chipper lately, so I feel better! ( do we EVER quit worrying about them??) We just went out for a real nice lunch, just talked silly stuff- didnt want to bring up issues w/ his dad or his "gf" in NY or any of the things that have weighed heavy on his mind"

He is excited about his dad taking him to Boston in Sept. Its such a great city and they will have a great time at the game and whatever they decide to do. I am really hoping Ex chickie dosnt drag along, the whole idea is to have some bonding time w/ each other, to get to know each other again, but its out of my control

Quiet weekend comin up, No B but thats ok , he needs to do something , and it will be a great weekend to get some things done around here for our upcoming yard sale!

I hope everyone has a good weekend!!
