Long Time no post....

Hi all,
I don't know if anyone even checks this anymore, but I figured I'd blog anyways.

It has been a roller coaster of a few months for me. I guess I will Update in number form.

1. Job- I am still working hard at the job. I am in shipping so I lug 50-75+ lb. boxes for 10-13 hours a day. I am getting quite muscular. It is very intense physical work, but I enjoy it. I get to forget about things for awhile and concentrate on the task at hand. I work with a good bunch of people, we go by family instead of team. So my supervisor is considered my Dad and my coworkers my brothers and sisters. Odd, right? The first time someone asked me where my dad was I answered "He died so he's in Heaven." Imagine the confusion that created! My favorite co-worker comes back from maternity leave at the end of the month and I can't wait.
2. Relationship- Sean has filed the papers for divorce. It is a long story as to why he did, but at least it is done. We both realized that it is unrepairable. I am happier than I have been in a long time and believe that this was the best decision I could make. It is tough, not having that spousal support, financially, and emotionally, but I am making the best of it. I believe that I am a better mother now as well.
No...I am not seeing anyone either. That is a question that has come up numerous times.
3. Health- I just got out of the hospital after a week stay. I don't remember much as I was on morphine and have really no recollection of most of the visit. Basically it was determined that my stomach acid is eating away my small intestine. They have taken several biopsies and results are pending. Also my stomach was inflamed as well as sections of my small intestine. It sounds worse than it is. As long as biopsy results are benign, and they believe they will be, it can be managed with medication. I am feeling better, although tired and a bit cranky.
4. Kids- Gabe started the 6th grade with a mouthful of braces. He looks so darn cute! He is struggling this year as he has in the past and we are looking into testing further for some things. Dyslexia is coming up as a possibility as he is reversing so much. That would actually be a blessing! We would have tools to help him! He also decided to play the Tuba in band so I have the sounds of a dairy farm in distress in my house every night. The trio are active second graders. It is so hard to believe that my babies are already that old! They are doing great in school. The boys have joined cub scouts, and Gabe boy scouts. Caitlin is interested in girl scouts also. They keep me so busy.
I guess that is it for now....I will try to be a bit more regular....
