So I got on Xomba originally with the intent to post articles on event planning. Don't get me wrong-I'm still doing that, but I am also feeling the need to do more. I've been through a lot (who hasn't?), and the general concensus from pretty much everyone I've ever talked to about what I should do, is to put it down on paper and I would feel better. Therapy is expensive, and since I'm a single, unemployed mother of three children, I can't exactly afford it right now. So, I'm putting the two ideas together (writing it down and going to therapy). Here I am! What better way to get it out and get some therapy than share it with the world? Besides, if anyone else is nosy like me, it's fun to read about someone else's issues and give them your sound advice, even if you don't always practice what you preach. Here goes:
I am 32 years old. I have 3 children: an 8 yr-old boy, a 2 yr-old boy, and a 10 month-old girl. I am going through my second divorce, and just moved in with my sister and her family. I got laid off from an amazing and well-paying job in November and have been collecting unemployment ever since. I'm not proud of that, but it's hard to get another job when there aren't many jobs in the first place. AND, my soon-to-be ex-husband won't help pay for daycare. So, there I was, broke, living in a crappy little trailer, so far behind on my bills I was worried what I was going to do when the propane ran out.
But, that's getting ahead of myself. There's a lot more previous that got me to that point. I'm going to stop here for now, because I need to think about how I'm going to present the rest of my life to you. I can't wait to hear what you all think, and feel I should do. I feel better already!
