That is the spirit Neo. Keep you chin up all will be better in the end.

I have been there and still trying to claw my way back.

I senserly hope everything works out OK for you all.(sp?)

I'm sure there will be a bright spot to it all.

There was for me, when I left CA for NY.

It took me a few years to realize, after the divorce, I found my new wife!

Its been 7 years now!

We cant get enough of each other.
Just remember (here is the mushy part)

We have to live with the turkeys to find the eagles.

(dont remember where I heard that, but it stuck with me...)

Also, Merry Christmas!

Things will work out for the better, maybe tomorrow, maybe next week.

Good luck, and dont let the turkeys get you down.....

That's the spirit

You'd be amazed what you can accomplish when it comes to providing for your kids. Everything will work out for the better, just keep your chin up and keep pushing forward. You have some good looking kids, and they have the best mom in the world.

Hey
Bad news is right. Having to rip your whole life up and relocate really stinks. My dad was in the Air Force and we had to move about every 3 years, so I know what your kids might be feeling.
Its good to see you are looking on the bright side though.

Maybe God is looking out for you. I say that because of what you said in your post.

" I guess the bright side of this is that I won't have to deal with the dope dealers next door to me. "

You have a couple of cute kids there. I sure would hate to hear that they got messed up with that sort.

Best of luck,

NeoStar, I've read so many of your posts, and many I never replied to because I'm not a parent and / or couldn't relate via personal experience and didn't know what to say about the things of which you wrote. But I always felt them.

I know many times I wondered how I could go on.. and I don't even have kids. Moms (and Dads, too) have the toughest job on earth - being a good parent.

I think you should be proud of yourself for your perseverance, your attitude, your quest to learn and grow and, above all, for being a loving and concerned parent. The best always for you and your kids

I think as long as your kids know how much you care, and that you do your best not to take out frustrations on them (I have no idea how hard that is! alas it is important). Keep smilin' and you'll continue to get pictures from them with big cheesy smiles

Good for you. Kids are very good looking but also look mischevious, especially your son.
