Final

Well, after all the drama, lawyers and money the divorce is final as of December 6th. No, I'm not dating, nor do I have any inclination to do so. The kids and I are living in Payson.Blair has the house in Spanish Fork. Blair and I have joint custody right now. I'm still at Maceys, and my goal for the new year is to enroll in school. The kids are doing surprisingly well. We all have our days, but overall we are all doing well. Thanks you to all of you who have given your love and support during this challenging time for our family.

THE Article

So here is the article I mentioned in my last post.

Divorce proceedings are creeping along and consuming all of my time, energy, and money. The kids are doing ok.

I've got a cute little place in Payson for the kids & myself. Unfortunately, no internet there yet, so I'm not keeping in very good touch with anyone.  


Thanks to all of you for your love, prayers and support.

So it's been forever.....

So much has happened since my last post. I guess the biggest news is I'm getting divorced. Blair & I just can't have a healthy relationship and counseling has done no good. So that's the biggie. There are a lot of reasons for the divorce, but it's not appropriate to air all the gory details, so that will have to suffice for now. The children and I are living with my parents for the moment. I have filed, and am waiting for Blair to file his response. The children are handling it pretty well considering.
So less distressing news :
The Deseret News is doing an article on working moms. Guess who my boss at Maceys thinks is interesting? Me. Go figure. So this cute little reporter came and interviewed me at work. A few days later they sent a photographer. That was awkward......Today she came to the house with a photographer and took pictures and observed my morning routine. SO not interesting....They'll be coming back after school to follow me around some more. The article should be out in a Sunday edition in June sometime. There are loads of other working moms they are interviewing too, including another cashier at Maceys. So hopefully there will be more them and less me.
Had David's IEP meeting this morning, I am so freaked about him being in junior high.....he'll still be in a self contained unit similar to the one he's in now. BUT....change is hard....you know? He had a great time with the photographer this morning. The guy was so sweet, showing him his camera and explaining it to him. The other kids weren't too excited about the whole thing.

Today's Davidism: After showing him a photo of a friends new baby horse...." Mom, thanks for showing me that image. It boosts my morale."
