Thank you so much. It's really been an exhausting month! I'm looking forward to the 8:30 to 5:00 work day. It will give me a break from my kids! Of course, now I have no idea when I'll find time to Christmas shop! Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

LOL.. Maybe I'll throw one sometime next year - when I have more furniture : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Thanks Wendee... It has been a difficult transition, but I think in the end - everyone will be better off with this new living arrangement. Happy Holidays : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

The new job is a position with Spirent (not Sprint) - I'll be a senior staff accountant. I'm sure after awhile it will be boring, but it will pay the bills : ) Thanks for asking : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Well...I did it. I moved out and I'm living in a wonderful 3 bedroom house that backs up to a lake. My kids seem happy with the house and the location. Tomorrow, I start my job : ) Things are moving in the right direction! Hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

I wish I could do it, but I live in MD...so that's not going to work : ( Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

: ) I needed to smile. Thanks! Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Agreed!!!! : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Congrats! Enjoy your time off! Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

I got a job and a house today : ) Things are looking up. Got any happy news to share???? Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Have a happy B-day : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Congrats! He's adorable : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Sounds yummy : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Thanks chaoskitty : ) I'm starting to wonder how much stress one person can take in a month. I'm getting separated, moving, getting a full time job (for the first time in six years), my son skipped school yesterday...plus I've got the holiday season to contend with. I feel like I'm drowning : ( On the plus side, my kids are healthy, I've found a decent job, a beautiful house to live in and I've got some really great friends willing to help me move. So...it isn't all bad : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

They were from my step-mother-in-law - so it's hard to tell : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

blueberry : ) So...what did you end up making? Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Seriously...burnt cookies. Once, I received a Grandma bathrobe. Very blah, but at least I could pass it on to Goodwill. I'm sure someone wanted it : ) The burnt cookies tasted horrible and were useless. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Checked out the link... Hmmm...recycled Barbie parts... that's just freaky. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

send some hugs to me through Jennr8r! She offered to take me to Atlanta with her this weekend, but I am in the middle of some complicated issues and I could not go. She's boarding her flight now and I'm really bummed out : ( So...give Jennifer some extra hugs and tell her to deliver them to me. I need them! Thanks : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Your number is: 7 The characteristics of #7 are: Analysis, understanding, knowledge, awareness, studious, meditating. The expression or destiny for #7: Thought, analysis, introspection, and seclusiveness are all characteristics of the expression number 7. The hallmark of the number 7 is a good mind, and especially good at searching out and finding the truth. You are so very capable of analyzing, judging and discriminating, that very little ever escapes your observation and deep understanding. You are the type of person that can really get involved in a search for wisdom or hidden truths, often becoming an authority on whatever it is your are focusing on. This can easily be of a technical or scientific nature, or it may be religious or occult, it matters very little, you pursue knowledge with the same sort of vigor. You can make a very fine teacher, or because of a natural inclination toward the spiritual, you may become deeply emerged in religious affairs or even psychic explorations. You tend to operate on a rather different wavelength, and many of your friends may not really know you very well. The positive aspects of the 7 expression are that you can be a true perfectionist in a very positive sense of the word. You are very logical, and usually employ a quite rational approach to most things you do. You can be so rational at times that you almost seem to lack emotion, and when you are faced with an emotional situation, you may have a bit of a problem coping with it. You have excellent capabilities to study and learn really deep and difficult subjects, and to search for hidden fundamentals. At full maturity you are likely to be a very peaceful and poised individual. If there is an over supply of the number 7 in your makeup, the negative aspects of the number may be apparent. The chief negative of 7 relates to the limited degree of trust that you may have in people. A tendency to be highly introverted can make you a bit on the self-centered side, certainly very much self-contained . Because of this, you are not very adaptable, and you may tend to be overly critical and intolerant. You really like to work alone, at your own pace and in your own way. You neither show or understand emotions very well. Your Soul Urge number is: 4 A Soul Urge number of 4 means: With the Soul Urge or Motivation number of 4 you are likely to strive for a stable life. You tend to follow a rather orderly pattern and systematic approach in your endeavors. You have an inner desire to serve others in a methodical and diligent manner. You want to be in solid, conventional, and well-regulated activities, and you are somewhat disturbed by innovation and erratic or sudden changes. Excellent at organizing, systematizing, and managing, you have a way of establishing order and maintaining it. You are responsible, reliable and in the final analysis, practical. Highly analytical, you can see your way through all sorts of situations and generally have a clear understanding of the issues. You are a very honest, sincere, and conscientious individual. The negative side of the 4 is rigid, stubborn and somewhat narrow-minded. There is a tendency to hide feelings, or to really not be aware of real feelings. Avoid being too rigid and stubborn in your thinking, and try to always see the big picture rather than becoming to involved with the detail. Don't be afraid to take a chance once in awhile. Your Inner Dream number is: 3 An Inner Dream number of 3 means: You dream of artistic expression; writing, painting, music. You would seek to more freely express your inner feeling and obtain more enjoyment from life. You also dream of being more popular, likable, and appreciated. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Thanks for the great advice. So far, things are very amicable. I'm sure at some point, I will PM you with questions! Thanks again. Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

I posted here because I think that getting advice from men (as well as women) might be beneficial. My son is 15 and he already knows everything relevant. I basically said that I am not happy and I haven't been happy for a long time. Sometimes, love isn't enough to keep things together. He understood. For many years, it's was just the two of us - my husband was always off doing his own thing. So, my son have always been very close. At 15, he still asks me to go to the movies with him and he asks me to sit down and watch TV with him. Lately, I've been impressed by his decision making skills. He was invited to smoke weed with some friends, but instead, he watched Scrubs with me. I must have done something right somewhere along the way : ) I hope the separation will be an opportunity for my husband to really get to know his children. Spending time with them without me around is very different than when I'm here with them orchestrating the relationships. I won't be pushing him to spend time with them. Hopefully, he will become involved in their lives. They are great kids. I know he loves them - now he just has to form relationships with them. With them, I've made a huge effort to portray him in a positive light. I know he has love in his heart - he just has to let it out and share it with them. I hope he can do that for them. Time will tell... Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

thanks lawrocket for the great advice : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

Congrats Peter! Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...

I like lawrocket's suggestion : ) You could put them each in a corner and tell them to spend some time thinking about how the other one feels : ) Jump, Land, Pack, Repeat...
