Hi to all!!

Today is TUESDAY - tell us what is so terrific or not terrific in your life right now. We all want to hear from you - what are the other single moms up to?

As for me - things are pretty terrific - the house is clean, DS just had a fun weekend with his friends and I had a good half marathon run.

What is terrific? I got a nice income tax refund and have almost paid off all my debt. It's a nice feeling! I love my new/used car I bought last month. Its so nice to have a bigger vehicle to haul my kids and their friends around in.
I am dating someone I think may actually be a nice, normal guy. My kids are doing OK in school, for the most part.
I really don't have much to complain about lately!

Well, here goes. For the not-so terrific stuff. My dad has been diagnosed with cancer. It was a shock to all of us. He had cancer two years ago, went through the treatments, and was in remission. When he went in for his two year checkup, it was back, different kind, different place, worse prognosis. So, the kids and I moved in with my parents to help out, he's out of work, can't do much physical stuff since the cancer treatment from before made him really sick... it's very hard for me to watch my personal hero struggle with so many health problems, and then to get cancer again, and to have to go through all of that...
But, on to positive stuff. The kids are doing well, they are healthy, happy, and loved. I am ready to date again, my job is going well. I can afford to pay my own bills, help my mom pay theirs, and save some. I have wonderful friends, and all this stuff with my dad has made me committed to living a more healthy lifestyle.
On that note, I have lost about 20 pounds, and I'm doing it in the best possible way. I truly am happy with myself and my body for the first time in my entire life.
Sorry this got so long!
Tina

My life right now looks good...I like my job and things are going well (its easy going and enoyable), I can pay my bills and I keep all basics covered wiht some to save. In the shorter persepctive I am looking forward to doing some painting (kitchen/dining room) and planning my dd'd 7th b-day party for next weekend (she is having a magician)full of family and friends and fun! Things are still a little slow on whole dating front...there was one guy and we were doing some heavy duty flirting and I could not figure out why no real move was being made but now I figure he must have a girlfriend(pretty positive actually) - no big deal but he was pretty cute, oh well, don't want 'em if he flirts like that with me but still has a GF!
Anyway...that felt good!

"don't want 'em if he flirts like that with me but still has a GF!"
