First I want to thank everyone who has supported me through what has been a very tough time in my life lately!
Things are going better. Jerry and I are still together and doing our best to get back to just US and learning and growing in the relationship--however its a struggle with everything we have gone through. Physicaly I am healed from the pregnancy - emotionally is another story and I started therapy 2 weeks ago for that and go every week and I LOVE my therapist - she is awsome! She is an author of a great book actually -- which I should recommend if anyone is interested-- its titled Emotional Unavailability-- its great - read it if you can! Anyway - I am not sure how things will play out, to add to it I am moving November 1st and it will be alot further from Jerry. I chose to move closer to my work and its a great area and great schools for my boys. If and when I do see Jerry its a good 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic and I am a little scared about this hindering the relationship. But its a good choice for me and the boys and I couldnt factor Jerry into my decision because he isnt offering anything. I think its good for me to focus on me and this is a huge brand new start for me and my boys...where we are moving is a private apartment community with indoor pool, fitness center with indoor basketball courts, racketball courts, yoga, aerobic classes and activities planned everynight for adults and kids and all of this is included in a SUPER reasonable rent amount that is 30% of my monthly income so it is sooo perfect! Plus its like 5 minute drive from my work so I wont be away from the boys as much! I really am excited to move there! Right now my commute to work is 30-45 minutes driving in traffic but more when there is snow days (I live in Minnesota so lots of those)

I'm great! We finished the bathroom remodel. Yay. I posted a before and after link down in the bragging corner.
THANKS!!
Ya Im moving about 10 minutes from the Mall of America - or Bloomington -- I was living in NE Minneapolis - Jerry lives near Anoka.
:) about St. Cloud - I didnt know that??? !! Where are you now?
Saw the pics-- the bathroom looks great you must be very excited!! Glad to hear all is well!
Glad you found a therapist you can work with. I know having been through several in the past, it's hard to find one you can really relate to. Keep up the good work!
I'm fine, thanks for asking. :) Super busy as always!
I hope you can make it to chat tomorrow night, 9 pm EST! Love to have a real time conversation with you!
Hugs

Hi Tara...thanks and glad all is well!
I unfortunatly will be unable to attend chat due to my boys having swim lessons on Tuedays from 700 - 800 (CST) and I could try and get on after I get home and them into
I applaud you for everything you have done lately - you are so strong. It wasn't easy what you went through and I admire you for getting a counselor.
Good things are going to come your way - I am sending great vibes!! And hugs!! Keep us posted!!
Congrats on the new place!! Sounds great! And as for Jerry, good for you on not factoring him into your moving plans. If he's not offering anything then you have to do what's best for YOU and your boys. If he wants to be closer, he'll have to make an effort. You'll be fine either way.
Enjoy your life and your new place and make sure you put you and your boys first. Let us know how things go!

I'm 23, trying to get through college, and I have a four year old daughter. I still live with my parents and I have been convinced that I will never be able to move out because the cost of living in New Jersey is sooooooooo expensive (a one bedroom apartment runs about $800 a month--AVERAGE). But when I hear about single moms that are out there, making the right income and living on their own with their children, it gives me the inspiration I need to know that eventually, I'll get there too.
I hope to get to know you and everyone else here much better! congrats again.
Hugs,
Shelley
