Oh, I'm great in general. If we could remove all of the ex crap and drama it would be awesome. My kids and I usually have a great time, and I'm so thankful for them. They are awesome! My son is a super athelete and plays all kinds of sports and is in the GT program at school. My D is only 4, but I suspect will be the same way.
Work is great. I have so many friends I work with and sweet kids (even though I work with a really challenging population) and I love coming to work every day. We put on a Michael Jackson themed PTA program last night that rocked the house. : ) You should have seen us all dressed up in our MJ costumes! LOL
I have been dating a really good guy and that is going well. Those fainter of heart would have run away from all of the ex drama... LOL. I probably would have in his shoes! Anyway, def not rushing into anything, but so far so good. You forget what it is like to be with someone you actually enjoy being with and really laugh and have a great time together.
SO, in general I am very happy.
Today is my birthday! Ripe old age of 33! I have had so many texts and fb messages today it makes me feel good to have such good friends.
Thanks for asking Kevin. Have a great day.

Tried some Christmas shopping today! Had the kids in tow, and it was crowded. I'm going to have to shop for them this next weekend when they're gone. SURPRISINGLY, ex gave me 350.00 to use toward their santa gifts yesterday after the basketball game. I'll have to say I was shocked. Don't know where he's getting his money from since he still doesn't have a regular job.
His gf got mad about it, of course. It was probably supposed to be for HER santa gifts! LOL She told him i would use it on my nails and hair. Haha. Ummm newsflash..I'm a grownup with a job and can pay for my own nails and hair.

Wow, I was just thinking how I started reading this site a year ago, and joined a couple of months later. I remember those first horrible weeks where I would sit in my apartment crying and reading these boards.
I thought my kids and I would never be happy again. Some of you guys truly helped me muddle through those terrifying dark times. There were days and nights my kids were gone and I would just post and be SO thankful for someone to talk to, even if we were just goofing around and talking about nonsense. Finding you guys and this place was truly a gift for me!! I just wanna say I love you guys! Not gonna call you out, cuz you know who you are.

Tinkerbell can get over it. He has kids. Granted she is a kid. hmm. She is a kid isn't she. Behavior would be normal then.

I think many feel this way. I know I did and still do. This site was a God sent. I don't know what I would have done without it. Some of the greatest and best people in the world are on this site. Thank God. And I am even more thankful for the ones that succeed and continue to help us out anyways. Those people have huge hearts to keep helping others when their M is now fixed.

Hope everyone is doing well.
