My First Post

I've been thinking of writing my amazing adventures for over a year now...more and more since I decided to leave my husband in October of 2008. It seems so long ago now and so much has changed in my life. The least of which was a move from Washington to Arizona...back to my hometown, a little place tucked away in the high desert. My son and I drove with our cat Fluffy last July to begin a new life here. I'm figuring out how to juggle being a full time parent and teaching a full day kindergarten class. It's definitely challenging and I'm still trying to get it right, but I know that even when things get tough and I wonder if I can really do it, I wouldn't change a thing. I wouldn't go back to my son's father, I wouldn't change the second chance I gave him and I wouldn't change giving my son a chance to grow up in a home built on honesty. Ok, so I have to get to sleep and none of this has any connection, but I plan to pull it all together. I'm hoping the simple act of writing down my daily challenges and blessings, recalling things from the past, and perhaps helping anyone else going through something similar will make sense of it for myself!
