The house SOLD!!

Well after I battled for the past two years to sell it, it is gone! Last night when I signed the papers it was a very bitter sweet thing. I guess is a way I was glad to have it still around to remind me of the good times that my ex, Kim and I had building it and making it ours. The day that I had to make it "mine" was the day I knew it had to be sold.

The stress of selling a home ranks right up there with the divorce. I told the realtor that after this there are two things that I will never do again and that was buy a home and get married. But as they say when you close one chapter of life you begin another. I am very nervous about the new chapter I am embarqing on due to this years issues. I know that my life could be so much worse but I sit and wonder after talking to friends that have sick realatives and have had hardships of their own how much can one person take?

I have found that as long as you have something to believe in and friends and family that care no matter how hard life gets, you always have them to rebound off of as if they are your backboard in lifes basketball ball game.

How do you get thru to a 3yr old?

This weekend was a disaster! Zachary decided he would not listen and would laugh at me when I would correct him and exclaimed that he did it because he wanted to!! I tried time out, spanking, calling santa, and everything I tried he just got worse.

I don't know if I am expecting to much from him but he has never acted like this. He has also started working the two household thing to which I thought we could avoid for a while longer. Any advice is welcome!!! This week he is back with his mom so i only hope she does not have to experience what I did. At one point I was near tears due to the frustration.

Halloween was a task!

Wow getting a three yr old ready and taking him trick or treating by yourself is not an easy task!! Zachary was all about trick or treating this year. I was sad Kim could not be there. He was ready to go at 5:00, I managed to stall him till 6. Our new house is a hot spot for trick or treaters. Zachary saw some people with their dogs so he wanted to take jackson with us, so we did. After hitting a few streets in the hood we headed to a friends house that had a party with bounce house. All in all we had a good time and were worn out by the end of the night! Hope all had a great Halloween!
