Who knew....

Life changes without warning sometimes. Mine sure did. Its hard now but....I Imagine that it will get much much easier with time.

My 10 year marriage has dissolved.
I've moved back to my hometown.
I now work full time outside the home, something I havent done much of in a long long time. It feels as if several doors are closing and a few select windows have opened wide. Im finally getting used to the idea of "me" not attatched to Tom. In fact....I'm dating.  ::Gasp::  I know, I know.....but its not what you think. No rebound here. I'm not that kind of girl. In fact, I REALLY like this guy. We can laugh and enjoy eachother, dream together, and talk of future plans. It also helps that we have a mutual love of bacon ;). I get to be "ME" for the first time in a long long time. Enjoy the things that I like to do and love who and what I want without being criticized by myself for loving something different that what other people do.  I can honestly say that I finally love me enough to care about what I want out of life for myself and my children.
Ive still got a couple of chickens, a cat, a dog, and a few unwanted fish.....not to mention shared custody of the 3 most wonderful little munchkins on the planet. I split the time with their father half and half. We both refuse to be greedy on this situation which is really really great.  In the end I would like to maintain a decent relationship with the father of my children. Its what everyone deserves.
