Hey there everyone..
Having a rough time this Christmas. Even though stbxh filed last year, we kept it from everyone until after the holidays were over and spent a "normal" Christmas one last time last year. Sooo.. this year is really the first without those family traditions. The best thing is that I get to wake up with D5 on Christmas morning. She cannot wait for Santa to come!!

ow ho is taking my place at all of h's family functions this year. I actually have to see her skankiness when they drop off D5 tonight. YUCK! All of it is absolutely surreal to think about. Life goes on I guess..

Other than that, I haven't been reporting anything because there is not much to report. Custody evaluations are done and things are moving along slowly. It looks like everything - good or bad - should finally come to an end next month.

All in all, I really do have a lot to be thankful for. I have so many good things and good people in my life. I have my health and a good job. A roof over my head and enough (ok, more than enough!) food to eat. It's hard not to dwell on the hurt this time of year..Things aren't fair and life wasn't supposed to turn out this way; but, it did. I just have to believe that it WILL get better!!!!
