Goals below. Right now work is my biggest priority. Make no mistake, being a dad is more important, but I'm doing awesome as a dad. Really. Everything is really groovy. But man, I'm 8 months into my 'new' job and it's still tough. It's kind of a cool sales role that has a ton of politics, management, and of course sales involved and I've heard from many people it took over a year for them to really hit stride, and I'm right on track...but it's HARD work every week to build. Like starting a business. But I need it to work so I can eventually get a house suitable for my three kids (right now all three kids share a room...not ideal as my son is 11 now, I'd like to have a new place in 1 year).
Then I want to be in better shape and have my ducks a bit more in a row. I'm off maybe 20 pounds from being pretty trim. I was almost there last winter, then when I started this job and moved I backslid. Doh. Back to the gym. Also, 'new routines' is about making habits out of things STBX used to do as a SAHM. Bills, laundry, etc. I'm having a hard time keeping the place as nice as I'd like.
Long term I'd like to finalize my D this year, move into a bigger place and get a bigger/newer car next year, and then be an in shape, high income earner with a baller car/house...all while continuing to work on myself...so in two years I'm feeling good about who I am both on the outside and inside. That's when I plan on finding the right woman.
Of course, life doesn't always go that way...but it's something to work towards.
All in all, things are pretty cool. Thanks for all the support y'all!
