Nothing wrong with being loyal, but you need to watch out for YOU too. The statistics are that people change jobs, and careers something like 12 times in their lives.

I've been working at the same place for 28 years. But I had 30 jobs before I found this one.

Have faith in yourself.

Well, Ladies and Gentlemen! I'm proud and completely excited to say that I am the new business manager for a local community college...my present position was executive assistant!

Out of the blue and I'm serene about the whole thing! I got a call yesterday afternoon, after work, interview at lunch, and I walked out with the job...making a little more and I have benefits!

I've given my two week notice and I feel so comfortable with what is happening!

THANK YOU ALL! YOU GUYS/GALS HAVE BEEN SUPER AMAZING WITH SUPPORT!

james, NOT WELL, with tears in fact! This is God's doing here! I see that...within the last week, I saw this four times! "I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me!" Phil 4:13

You were the first to tell me that, then I read it in the book I was reading, and in two emails that I got...I figured I needed to pay attention...

I sent that resume out months ago!

God is good, ALL the time!

Still waiting on the D, and the contempt of court...I caled this morning and the para is trying to get my lawyer off his a**! We're going to do all of it at once! less court costs! Still owes me CS...this Sat. will be three payments...

Thanks Smiley! I didn't think I could be so happy! I've done some reflecting today to where I was this time last year and I AM a miracle...that's the why I feel about...

Last year, I was scared out of my mind and this year is truly amazing!

There is a God!

MAN YOU ARE COMPLETELY AND WITHOUT A DOUBT AMAZINGLY SUPPORTIVE!

Thank you so much!

I actually saw him yesterday, the kids and I were on our way to celebrate with dinner and POWS was right in front of us, the boys started yelling they wanted to see him...

They haven't seen him in two weeks b/c of the schedule...so I blew the horn and we pulled over...well, HE ENDED UP GOING TO EAT WITH US...no biggiie...he admitted while we were there that he did stop me from changing jobs on several occassions and that he was proud of me and patted me on the back...

WHATEVER...I did stay b/c he wanted me too...it was a matter of convenience for a long time...while Rin's in charge of her world now!

Hello, everyone! I have been doing great! The kds are gone for the week to their grandparents, POWS'...my choice...I would rather them visit with the grandparents then sit at the sitter's all week...the meeting with them last night was tense...

I tried to make conversation but it didn't go to well...I was a little upset on the way home but got over it...

Well, I was really happy this morning and then I got a call from my lawyer and they said that POWS's attorney dropped him for not paying the fees...so I was asked for an address of where POWS could be served and since he doesn't really have a home address, I had to give them his work address...

Of course, this threw me into crisis mode, thinking about what's going to happen now...I didn't know what I was feeling and it took awhile for it to hit me...I was angry...very angry...

Once again, his stuff is effecting me and it's a case of I want what I want when I want it...our separation period was over this weekend...I'm tired of the whole process and SOOOO ready for it to be over...

So, POWS will be served at work for the contempt of court and I will be hearing when we go to court...

Of course, I have questions like what's going to happen should he not have a lawyer and how is that going to effect me?

Still no CS, so we are asking for an assignment of income...POWs is in contempt for about 4 or 5 different things and at this court date we are going to do the final decree, then all that is left is community property...

I'm doing better as far as the way I feel compared to this morning but I'm not in that peaceful, happy mode that I was this morning...when the sun was shining on my face and I felt the wind on it too...watching the squirrels chase each other...

Hey Rindy...

He is a bum isn't he. You keep doing what you are doing and let the lawyers sort it out.

I hope you are well otherwise.

Well, after calling my lawyer back and asking some questions...POWS DOES NOT know that his lawyer has fired him yet...

A letter was mailed to POWS, but I don't know what address they could have mailed it too BECAUSE POWS STILLLLLLLL gets his mail here...and I haven't pushed the issue because I have been trying to get my title released for my car and I just had that issue resolved this week...so it should be coming in the mail to me this week...after that I'm going to do something about it...

From what I understand this will not really affect me all that much...should POWS decided not to get another lawyer, I will have to provide two witnesses verifying that we have lived separate and apart for 365 days...NO PROBLEM!!!!

Then, my lawyer will have to deal with POWS directly on the community property settlement...

Boy, the consequences for the wayward keeps on coming, huh?

So, I'm feeling really at peace compared to where I was earlier today...

On another note, I haven't started my new job yet, my last day at this one will be this Friday and then Monday I will start...I found out this morning that my new boss called my references last night...after the fact...LOL

It's really peaceful here at the house without the boys...just me and the dog...so, I'm going to turn on the TV and probably fall asleep...I need the rest after being in crisis mode earlier today...a good nap will be great self-care! My inner child was in full tantrum mode with the news...time to let her rest! wink
