Crushed dreams, new beginnings...  Current mood:  thankful  Category: Goals, Plans, Hopes My kids are my world. The entire time my friends in high school were trying to figure out what they wanted to be "when we grew up", all I could think about was being a wife and a stay-at-home mom. But not just any mom, a GREAT mom! My dreams came true... for a little while. Now I am in the middle of a divorce from the love of my life (or so I thought), I have the most amazing babies in the world, and I just got registered to run an inhome daycare so that I can stay home with them and support them at the same time. Sad?... for my kids, yes. But for me? Well, I have learned from my mistakes, I have grown closer to the Lord, and I have discovered something so important... I can, and will survive. Phillippians 4:13 is the air I breathe- "I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength." I am hoping that I can deal with all these trials with grace and integrity, but I feel I am failing miserably. I would appreciate any prayers you've got time to throw up there for me... thanks!!  The kids are growing too fast, Taz just had his 1st birthday on the 7th of March and I can't figure out where the time went!! This last year's been so eventful (both good and bad) that it's a blur to me. It doesn't look like things are going to slow down any time soon, either. I'm back in the dating scene (wow, things have changed! lol) and have already met someone pretty amazing... we'll see what happens with that. I just got a job serving at Carino's Italian Grill on evenings and weekends so come and see me! I already mentioned I keep kids during the day. I'm hoping to go back to school in the fall... maybe be a surgical tech?? Being a single mom keeps me busy too. I knew it would be hard but.... [sigh]. I am thankful that I have such caring and supportive people around me though. I don't know what I'd do without their help!! Thanks everyone, you are greatly appreciated!! Lots of love.
