Wow!! Hey guys!! All my friends! I had no idea I would get such great kudos from you all. I am so sorry I cannot answer each one of you individually but my eyeballs are ready to fall out after many meetings, classes and a grad school class to boot! (I think I told you I am back in school, too..for a third degree..yikes!)

I love, love, love my job. New Guy (aka Not so new guy..liked that one!) has helped out so much this week. I actually came home to an organized bedroom while he watched the kids Tuesday afternoon. I had laundry baskets galore and he sorted the clothes, folded them in piles, put them in the guest room, and cleaned my bedroom. I almost fell over! \:\)

I had night school TWO HOURS AWAY Wed night..took a two hour class and came back. New guy drove me. He did work in his truck while I went to class. He said it is our date night so we can talk while he drives me!

I can honestly tell you all..that I had no idea men like this existed!! My ex used to throw his clothes on the floor and YELL AT ME that the house was a mess. CRAZY!

And, my ex is being nicer than nice to boot..almost weird nice. So funny..when they are nice it's considered "weird". lol

Kids good. My son played in his first football scrimmage yesterday and played the entire game. He is huge. Just turned fourteen, 6'2" and built like a brick. He has a few bumps and bruises but I think he is okay. I cannot believe how much he has changed in a year.

My D11 is the best. She is so organized it's scares me. So funny what she learned through my crisis. I had to step it up and get on the ball with paperwork, appt., bdays, etc., when I started to work so I guess I became alot more oraganized now that I am divorced. Funny how my daughter is so different from my son through all of this. She was younger (7) when my ex left so she really is more independent than son. Good to see how positive things come out of a D too.

Off to go take the work clothes off and get this weekend started! Movie night here with New Guy and his D9. Hopefully, I won't pass out before dinner..:)

Thanks so much for posting, all. It really does get better..
hugs,

MTN
