Update!

I really suck at this blogging stuff. Its been about 6 months since I have written anything. I'll try to give a quick update:

Still not fully divorced. It's been 2 years and Nick and I are still dragging our feet with the whole thing. I'm sure he has his reason, and I have mine. I am finally realizing that I need to stop worrying about how it's going to affect HIM, and how hard it's going to be on HIM, and just start worrying about ME! The past two years I have been paying our mortgage, and all my other bills, all on my own! No child support what-so-ever. All of that was not so bad up until he got a DUI and lost his car and license because now I have the kids full-time.... and he STILL won't agree to paying child support. Needless to say I am stressed out! And Exhausted. And Broke! Time to put on my big girl panties and get my life in order! ASAP!

Kids are doing pretty well. Ethan is 12 and in 6th grade. If I force him to keep up on his homework he had been getting pretty good grades. He is super smart, just lazy sometimes. He still loves computers and video games, and is the one I ask for help when I can't figure out something on my laptop. Haha. Emma is 7 and in 1st grade. She doing awesome. She is one of the top readers in her class and her teachers absolutely love her. She is my little Spunky girl and we have lots of fun doing girlie things together. Elliot is 5 and goes to a preschool/daycare every day while I'm at work. He loves to skateboard, jump on the trampoline, plays swords, dance, and loves to sing along to music. That little guy never stops moving. It's always go go go with him! School will be out in about a month and I am so NOT ready for that. I am definitely ready for the summer to get here tho.

As for me... I am just trying to hang in there. I still work at Kohls- been over 2 years now. I like it, but I have really been wanting to go back to school for nursing. I am determined to figure out a way to work full time, be a full time single mom, AND go to school! Seems impossible... but hopefully I'll find a way.

Well, there ya have it. I'll try to keep up on this blog better, but no promises.
