Finally school started. A big day for Big A who started the unmentionable grade 9. And Mr B who is now in grade 2. And next week Little Missy will be starting Pre School. This is what I have been looking forward for. The kids in school and I can concentrate on the completion of my internship. 3 weeks left for me. An accomplishment I never thought I could do. A proud moment in my life.....However Working is starting to scare me. I don't want to work. What person ever does want to work really? I am now raising these kids on my own, with my small unacceptable paychecks from Tims, and if I'm lucky a little child support. The separation happened in July and it has been a financially tough summer for me and the kids. After he left we agreed on him taking most of the items we had. Considering that he "paid" for my life for 9 years and it was the least I could do for him. But with in a few days and weeks I had an aboundence of people helping me out. I got furniture from friends to replace what he took. And fantastic people to help me move in my new washer and dryer. Thank you for all the support people! After the first week my emotions taking over me, I put my foot down and told myself that I am a strong woman, and nothing was going to bring me down. So I started to make my home my own. I painted my living room and it is a crappy job but it is my job. Then I painted my bedroom, another crappy job...but again it is my job. Now I am on a kick to paint my whole place. Painting has a very therapeutic feeling. It is empowering to me. I am learning to take each day a day at a time. If your positive, positive things will happen in your life!
