| Snow and snowdays! That is nice for a change! I love snowdays!

| Misc Thoughts :
I have to say that the ads on the side are most irritating for the display now. It is almost enough to also look for another site. perhaps we should follow grh158's lead?
Winter plows on. At least we have more snow and in quantities that are actually measurable so more fun for the kids.
Court still in motion. Still no good news there. A huge source of stress really.
Robert is getting fitted for a prosthesis for lifting weights.
Still adjusting to married life and extenuating circumstances....7 months now.
I have a birthday looming...yikes. I am getting old. Why is it that for the past 5 or 6 years, the "odd" year birthdays seem to hit the hardest, as far as feeling like you are getting older. The thing is that different this year is that, physically I feel old this year. Many things hurt on me.

| Ok Ok. So, now I am posting again.
I am volunteering less and I actually have more time free. I was also talking with a friend who said I never post anymore so I am trying to keep it in the loop. Truthfully, I feel like I am not a good or funny writer and it is sometimes hard to think of a post worth typing.
At the risk of being dorky, I will start with the darn weather.....
But, I would like to ask a question. What is up with the weather? What is up with the seasons of the year? Does it seem like they have shifted out the their usual places in the calendar year? Does it seem like we really have 2 seasons, gray and damp and rain or hot? How do we go from beautiful 6 inches of snow to gray and rainy and 55 in 2 days?
Is this every where or just here....
I would like to ask another question completely unrelated.
As a mother with boys just heading into teen years, what is the best way to deal with the fact that they "push " Mom away. I know it is normal but it feels hard. GRH158, any words of wisdom? TW?
Lastly,
I head to court soon dealing with custody. It is likely to go a trial after that.
My thoughts and prayers are this.
Lord, Help me accept the outcome. Let Your will be done not mine. Please help me to be wise and strong.

| Well, Happy new Year!
I have made it through the holidays. They were good despite the fact that I had 12 days of no boys. But Andrew called alot and that helped me tremendously. He had a hard time....
It turned out that my new husband and I had 5 days to ourselves before Christmas and I will say that was nice and though we didn't go away it felt a bit like a 2nd honeymoon.
My Resolutions are as follows:
1. To lose at least 5 pounds.
2. To be more patient with children
3. To say NO to volunteer work.
4. To stress and worry less.
5. To trust in my husbands' love for me.
6. Trust in God as we go forth back to court regarding custody.
I think I will stop at that. Those are hard enough.
We received a great Xmas gift in the form of a puzzle that was taken from a photo. We have put it together and it was so fun and clever. That was a highlight.
Thanks for all the gifts that were given to me and my loved ones.

| Hello everyone.
Life is moving along. The boys all had good report cards and conferences.
Christmas is coming and I will not have my boys from Dec. 19 to the 30th. Now looking at the bright side, I will have them for a stretch over New Years, but somehow not having your children for that long over Christmas is tough stuff. It is feeling a bit hard to get in the spirit knowing they will not even be here in the leading up to and following Christmas which matters. It is the bitter reminder of why divorce sucks! Excuse my french! All of you married readers.... take heed. Go hug your husband. Appreciate him.
