Biography

Now whats a little drama without the background details. Here's my life story in a nutshell, and as those who know me, its complicated but apparently I handle it well or at least that's what it might seem.

Currently, I am a single parent of two wonderful boys, for the sake of anonymity I'll call them, Tom and Richard. At the moment, due to financial issues, I am married to a man of my senior by the name of Harry (not his real name obviously). Myself and my son's reside in a completely different state than Harry, which definitely has its perks. I currently work part-time while attending the local University, which is my primary focus after my children.

My children are wonderful. I have been blessed by having the worlds best children. Tom has the best heart and is the best big brother that anyone can ask for! Richard can easily turn any frown upside down and plays the little brother role relentlessly!

Tom is a wonderful boy in his pre-teen years whom I had when I was younger. Now his biological father has recently has been interested in trying to rekindle his relationship with Tom, after having very little communication with in the past. This is a completely different story and I am not ready to open that door yet!

Richard is a sweetheart in his kindergarten years and is constantly exploring what should and shouldn't be done! He is definitely not a fragile kid and if he doesn't join the military when he gets older, I will be surprised! He is the son of my current spouse. 

As for myself...Well, besides my kids defining who I am, I would say I am artistic, relaxed, care-free as I can be, I handle stressful situations better than most and I can hit rock bottom harder than anyone else and yet still walk away taller and stabler than before.

I am Pagan, that's right, Pagan! I was raised in a 'laxed christian family but I knew it wasn't the right fit for me. I spend years researching the different faiths that the world has to offer and I found mine amongst the Pagans. This by all means, does not entail all those stereotypical ideas of what a pagan looks like or how they act, all fictitious and as about as silly as the Three Stooges!

Anyway, in 2005, I married my husband. I thought he was my prince charming and that I was set in love and that's all that mattered. Boy, was I blinded! He's a nice guy, I guess, but lacking in the sense of know responsibilities in both adulthood and parenthood. In 2006, Richard was born. By 2007, we had relocated to avoid eviction due to Harry not having steady employment. After relocating Harry has a wonderful job and everything seemed great so I decided to return to school and finish my degree, not to mention our cost of living would have been less if I worked. This worked wonderfully until Harry was fired. Then over a year and a half and Harry still was unable to obtain a job and his health was declining, Harry is a diabetic and has never truly taken care of himself and his condition.

After Christmas (yes, we celebrate the fat man coming down a chimney to give the kids presents) in 2009, we packed everything into a Pod. Yes, even the kids new Christmas presents since we felt that it would only be temporary. Boy, if I knew then what I know now! We moved into Harry's parents house. His mother, an emotional and physical abuser and his step-father, a drunk due to his inability to do anything else. I think I would drink too! Harry's step-father is wonderful with my children and you can tell how much he loves my boys. Its a shame he's in that situation.

This transition lasted 5 days. That's all I could handle! After 5 days, I left Harry. I took the kids and left with the car. Now its two and half years later and Harry is still living there and I am only two semesters away from finishing my degree, while still providing for my children!

Speaking of the kids, I need to run and pick them up. The saga will continue when I return...later this week!
