On the next episode of, Your Man Divorced You And Left You To Raise Three Kids, Care For His Aging Dog, Pay All The Bills And Run The Overall Household On Your Own…it just rolls right off the tongue, lol! So the title is a bit lengthy and humorous. I can honestly say that if it wasn’t for my sense of humor and recognizing the humor in the many scenarios that have occurred over the course of the past 2-½ years I’m not certain I would have survived. I am beyond thankful for the fact that God has given us a sense of humor.

Same as it ever was NOTHING is the Same

Where do you see yourself in two years? If I was asked that question two years ago I could have never imagined I’d be where I am today or be the person that I am today. I was in my 18th year of marriage and a stay-at-home mom for 16 years who had established a satisfying routine and rhythm to life. Then in the course of a few months, everything changed. I found myself living through three life-altering events simultaneously, financial trauma, divorce, and a new job working full-time outside of the home all while raising 3 kids and running a household. I suddenly didn’t recognize my life, I felt like I’d been tossed into a relay race mid-race with no instructions during a category 4 hurricane while eating ghost peppers. To say I was outside of my comfort zone was definitely an understatement. In order to find my way I needed to take back control, be open to change, and remind myself that life is meant to be enjoyed.
