Well honestly it's not quite as hard as I imagined. The kids are doing fine... only ask for their mother every once in awhile. I thought I was gonna be stressed out or jsut be to busy to do anything and suprisingly enough.... it's going great. I mean my mom helps me out alot but in all, so far so good. I know I'll run into my problems and all but hell that's part of being a parent. I am looking forward to the ex getting better so she can start having the kids a few days a week. Right now she just comes over to see them or I'll drop them off at her house for the day. I am glad that it's over.... I finally feel at peace. No more fighting, no more feeling hurt, no more putting up with her lies and her crap. I am trying to move on with my life and finding it easier than I ever imagined. IN a small way I wish I would have done this alot sooner. For the first time in a long time I do feel happy.... thanks to the break up and thanks to someone that's been makiong me smile alot lately. You know who ya are and if you're reading this...... thank you. Anyways, kids are good they don't even act like things are different. Well I take that back, my littel girl has become my shadow and wants to be held a bit more but I'm more than happy to oblige. Ok.... enough for now... ya'll have a fun and safe new years. Last year I lost a very close friend to a drunk driver and I want to see all my AR famiy back here in one piece on the 1st.
