It's been a while...

It's been a while since my last journal entry. It's been a while since I have even been on the site. Life has been fairly good. I have had a lot of up days and almost as many down days. I haven't really wanted to talk to anyone, but I know I needed to. For the last two months I have been taking my children and myself to doctor after doctor. I am getting all their eye appointments and dental appointments taken care of before school starts back next month, but I am also trying to get a handle on their medical issues. It seems that the schools are not very caring when you have a child with medical issues... no matter how many notes you take in from however many doctors. I am so tired. We only had two appointments this week and we only have two next week. I know that sounds like a light load, but the first appointment for next week is for me to have surgery on a hernia and the other one is the very next day. I have to take my youngest on a two and a half hour car trip, but thank God I don't have to drive. Once we get there We will have to be there for about 6 hours or so. Then it's another two and a half hours back home. Yay! Not.

I am also still trying to get my divorce. Legal aid services will not help me, and it is going to cost me $1,200 that I do not have to get this divorce. We've been separated for 10 years. He's moved through several somebody elses, I've found someone else, and I don't know about him but I'm happy. I just want to get this divorce and move on.

My food assistance program cut me off without notice. Wait... I take that back. I did get notice. I got two weeks AFTER they cut me off. I thank God that I had a friend to help me out for the next couple of days. Of course, people are talking about that. They think that my friend is trying to get into my pants, but he's not. He's just a good guy that saw a friend in need and wanted to help out.

Anyway, this is my life. On a more positive note, I am working on my spirituality. So far, I feel that I am doing pretty good. I feel that I am developing a sense of peace that I did not have before. I am worrying less and praying more. To me, that is a milestone.
