How's everyone???
 

Wow, been a long time since i been here! How is everyone doing? I'm doing ok.. Micah is now 5 years old.. My divorce is almost final.. Thank God... I'm dating a very nice man.. Getting some remolding done around the house, working my butt off.. I think that about covers everything... so how are my wonderful ladies doing today?

HALEY!!!!! Where the heck have you been girl????? Glad you're back, are you going to stay?
Can't believe Micah is 5 years old already...wow! Everyone here has something going on, so you'll probably just have to read and catch up.

Sure hope you can stick around! You've been missed.

Where have you been, Girlfriend???!!!! You were missed!!! Wow!! Micah's 5 years old!! That's so hard to believe!! You know that we need pictures!!

Congratulations on the new boyfriend!! I hope that all goes well with him!

We're still here......not quite as active as we have been in the past. It gets a little slow on here at times but that's ok. I hope we hear from you a lot more regularly from now on!!!

Hi Haley, it's good to hear from you. Sounds like your life is going well right now. I can't believe Micah is 5 years old now. I hope you are able to check in more often! We miss you.

Hi Harley nice to meet you. Glad you came back :D

Hi Haley!

It is so good to hear from you! Please post pix of Micah! Is he in school yet? Amazing that he is already five!

Catch us up! Glad the marriage is over. You weren't happy, and hope the new boyfriend is the love of your life!

HALEY!!!! Where the heck did you take off to now???? Get back here, ya hear? We need pictures of Micah...and this new man in your life. :)

Busy
 

Where do i start... Yes i was very unhappy so glad its almost over with, he's fighting me every step of the way.... Finally after 7 years getting my new kitchen so happy for that one.... My cabinets should be in by Friday then they will start on everything.... Pat the guy that i'm dating is a wonderful man, he's been helping me out so much... I have Micah in counseling now for everything that is going on, I lost my Mom last year in the middle of everything still hurts like hell but my sister is keeping me strong.... Micah is a brave little boy... I keep telling him we will be ok.. God is watching over us... Life is funny sometimes when u get rid of the negative people in your life it makes room for possitive people to enter... My life just keeps getting better... It was a hard adjustment for me.. But with my family and a few good friends, my son and Pat.. I'm doing just fine... Funny now that i'm limited on my funds.. You find out that the things u cherish most in life don't cost u any money...... I missed all of you.. and i will keep in touch more often.. Its just going to get busy here real soon.. and i will grab a picture of Pat and Micah to post.... love you all....

Diana.. miss you!.... and thank u the new boyfriend is wonderful what a difference let me tell u... I actually have someone that wants to help me around the house and take care of me.. loving life girl!!!!

Janet.... missed u..... I just been busy doing stuff around the house, taking care of my wonderful son... and getting some boyfriend time in..... i'll post more often...

Micah has grown so much!! What a cutie!! And you look very happy with Pat......that's what's important!!

It sounds like things are going well for you now......except for finishing up with the divorce.......And you're STILL working on the house.....LOL!! It does take time!!

Micah is such a blessing... I don't know how i would have gotten thru the last two years without him. .. and yes i'm very happy with Pat. We have a great time together.. He has a Harley and u know how much i love to ride.. The divorce is what's killing me he's trying to bleed me dry.... But God will take care of him, i just want it over with.... and move on from that darkness in my life.... He's someone else's problem now not mine!

Haley, I am so glad to hear from you again. Micah....my goodness, he was a cute little guy before, but now....what a handsome little man he is. And you....you are so pretty and Pat, you two look happy and look good together. I hope it stays that way for you. I know how unhappy you were before. It's too bad he has to continue to be an a$$. Hopefully it will all be over soon.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother. I lost my mother August 29th. It was really hard, she lived with me the last 9 months of her life. I miss her terribly, she was 88 years young. We have our memories of our mothers now.

I'm so glad you're back!

Thanks Janet.. Life just gets better everyday... I thank God for what i have, It was a big wake up call for me.... But i was brave enough to get out of a miserable marriage... Micah is my blessing, I love him so much.... and my Pat also... :)

I'm sorry for your lost :(

But Micah does look a joy to be with. It's always nice to have a partner to give you strength.

He's had a tough time with the whole divorce thing and my mom passing they were so close, but i think with the counseling it has been helping. he has a little bit of anger issues i'm trying to be very patient with... But any 5 year old tries to push your buttons.. He needs to learn what the word NO means.. lol... I can't always try to fix everything with love. At least that's what the counseler is telling me not to create a little monster.. But its hard to say no to that cute little face sometimes.. But i have to be strong.. lol.... I started him on a star program for good behavior, and been taking tv, game, and outdoor play time off of him when he is bad at school.. and the backtalking gets a little spank on the bottom to know that mom is not putting up with that... so been working on it since winter i think we are making progress here, I'm new at the mom thing too...

I bet it has been tough for him, but it sounds like you are doing everything possible to help him get through these tough times. Of course it's hard to say no to that sweet adorable little face!

You're a good Mom Haley and it sounds like you're doing all the right things. You are so right that the word 'no' means 'no' and that backtalking will not be tolerated no matter when or where. Stay strong, pretty soon they're all grown and you wish they were small again.

Its been tough for both of us... But like my sister always says one day at a time... So that's how i'm living now.. Trying not to worry about tom...

Oh that backtalking... I think i got it under control now.. He knows not to push my buttons... I take the tv off him, play dates, playtime.. So he's a smart kid.. He's learning fast.. I told them at his daycare to do the same and not to give in.. They get rewards for being good at daycare also. So that helps me alot!
