I had forgotten about this "blog". I mean, I knew I had started to write a few posts but didn't remember much. I just went back and looked at them. Oh the memories! It was so hard so much of the time. But also not hard a lot of the time. Things are good now. Really good. My kids are happy and healthy and thriving. Things aren't perfect but we made it. I could obviously write a book about the past 12 years but so much is lost over time.
My main purpose has always been to help my kids thrive at life. I think they are, for the most part. There are struggles: school, COVID, life decisions but they are great kids and their actions show me they are happy.
Ex is remarried as am I. Both "new" spouses are great people who love and respect our children. We have step-kids and step-grandkids. There's a lot of love to go around. We still don't get along but manage to pull it together for the sake of the kids. Now that they're not little it's a lot easier.
I still have way too many Christmas decorations. More now as my husband brought several boxes of stuff too.
Oh, there's dogs and cats now. This is Hudson, the Great Pyrenees "puppy". He's a terror and we love him.
Will it be 12 more years? Who knows.
