Well, started my new job this week, have been in training all week.....omg.....it is a biatch...lol. I am sure once I actually start the job...instead of looking at everything on paper form I am going to like it.....wow...I have forgotten how wonderful it is to have a piece of life that belongs to you and you alone.....
I wasn't married until I was 26, I lived....did wonderful things, then kids came along and I put myself on hold for awhile.........no regrets....I loved being here for my children ...it was a great.....now that they are both in high school and are turning into wonderful young adults....It is time to make a part of my life just for me......
I am slowly working toward getting my husband out of my life.....I have endured more than enough of living with addiction, I now need to take a different road.....This path I have been on is worn out....I am looking for a nice path with some flowers.....
I am trying my best to maintain my composure while he is still here...it is so very hard because I just want him gone...out of our lives....I got home yesterday he was loaded as usual...My poor son Zach was here alone with the bastard......I am hurting for him.....my son...but I know he is better off without his father in the home..........just need to get him out.....
Zach had a wonderful start to his football season, he is playing hard and I am seeing great things for my son....Samantha is doing great as well, grades are wonderful so far...keeping my fingers crossed....she has been helping me around the house since my return to work.......
I am blessed, I am seeing the light at the end of the tunnel...it's not shinning very brightly just yet but, wow I can see it......I am so very happy to be stepping out of the darkness and into the light....odat.....
Well, thanks so very much for being here and listening to me.....
I'm so happy you are doing so well in your new job and moving on for YOU. You have a great attitude and I admire that about you. I'm looking forward to "seeing" you soon! Take care and know that I am thinking about you with a smile on my face.
Andrea: What an inpiraiton you are. Thank you for sharing. I hope to have a real job soon which pays enough for me to give up all the jobs I have currently. Next week I am working 72 hours. Before I would complain now, as you do, I see it as part of reaching that currently dim light at the end of the tunnel. I can see it too!
Andrea! What a totally positive post! I am happy for you and looking forward, with you, to your happy, fulfilling new life. Hugs to you and the kids. Sounds like you have you little duckies pretty well lined up. Go girl!
