it's been forever

HOLY SHIT! It's been forever since I've written. My blog has become my link to other blog's..... not so much a place for me to share. BUT.... I am in a much happier place now so..... here I am. Not to mention I was a little embarrassed when this great blogger asked me for my url....

Let's see.....Last update was this past winter... so much has changed since then.

The big "d" was official a/o Feb. We are now sharing custody of the little one. Took a few months of 'play therapy' and many nights of crying myself to sleep but things are falling into place quite well now.

The boy has graduated from pre-school. I thought it might take several Zanax and a bottle of wine to get me through, but surprisingly enough, I made it through with only one kleenex..... whew! His teacher spoke about things she learned from each kid that year and she said "Clay has taught me to never underestimate what a child can comprehend"..... proud moment.

Another pretty huge change is that I am in love. Me loving him isn't so much of a change but US being IN love... at the same time.... with each other is!!! We've known each other for umpteen years. He moved to Denver 10 years ago. Got married, had kids, got divorced.... moved back to GA. While he was away, I got married and had a kiddo. He is now back and I am 'single' and we are together. We move in together in August and are thrilled about what the future holds.

Work is still work. I am employed by a 76 year old Financial Advisor that is in the beginning stages of Alzheimer’s. Something that is near and dear to my heart since my grandmother had it as well. It's very sad to see her and her mind fail.... day after day, week after week. At this point, we are trying to maintain her business until her children come to their senses and do something about it.

All in all, 2008 has been magnificent. Life in general is always challenging but to know in my heart that all the ridiculously painful decisions I made last year have all worked out for the best makes me smile....

Smiling is good.
I do it a lot these days!
