Hi Guys...

Thanks for responding. I am doing very good, I feel good about this decision. OT, it's gonna take all the things I asked for, plus the one's you said, and a whole hell of a lot more. And unfortunately, the person who resembles this guy I used to know, well, I don't think this facsimile will ever do anything but keep going downhill. You hear people here question it all the time - how do you know when it's time to let go, move on, etc, and there's no answer except that when the time comes, you know on the inside.

Sara, the kids are good. Thanks for asking. They're a little confused about us spending so much time with Daddy, but I really felt like it was something I had to do. Just to find out his sincerity. And now I know.

Oh - and yes, I'm still at his mother's. Rentals are incredibly scarce here. I'm a having a hard time, I just want my OWN place already. I may end up moving across the river (into the next state) because there are more rentals there. I hadn't wanted to do that, I wanted to remain in this state for court purposes, etc, but, I may have to. Or stay here even longer, which really doesn't appeal to me. So I have started looking over the border, lol, and while there are a bit more rentals over there, there's still not a whole lot. We'll see what happens.

I finally made a myspace page....for anyone interested in putting faces & names together, pix of my kids, too, email me at
carol_lynne1169@hotmail.com and I'll send you the link.
