No! smile

That would be so pitiful and it's completely within my control to avoid that. I've been thinking a lot about yesterday's comments. I need to show some self respect and stop looking back. I sent an email to STBX last night about filing. I know he's got the paperwork together so we should be able to get it filed in the next week or so. I really want it started before 2010. I want next year to be everything this year wasn't. Too much loss this year, and next year I will see my baby (S18) graduate and go to college, and then one more year with my babygirl (16) before she leaves. No more backslides. Just looking ahead!
