So Life Moves On.

So I can finally breathe and start to think about what I am going to do with the rest of my life!

The only certainty is that I am NEVER going to live with a man again for the rest of my life. It is far to complicated when it all goes wrong and also I am absolutely useless at choosing a good 'un! My ex husband was a 'merchant banker' and this latest one was not much better-if I could somehow combine the two, they would tick all of the right boxes, but lets face this, that is never going to happen.

I want to take some time to bathe in this new found 'freedom' and enjoy it. It is half term holidays for the children this week and I am just going to enjoy having them at home with me and also having no routine for a few days and just slob out and watch tvand films with them and have some 'us' time.

I know that I want to start to do something with my life now. I have been a stay at home mum for the past 7 years and my mind is turning to mush. I go up to the primary school which Ross and Pali attend 3 mornings a week and do guided reading with the children, and am also going to be involved with helping with the nativity play and I am already feeling that I may want to work with kids. I don't know wether this is at a school as a teaching assistant or wether to explore other avenues.

You would be amazed at how much more chilled the atmosphere is around here already. No more walking on eggshells. He wasn't violent, but it is not all violence that is causes domestic abuse.

Hope you have had a great weekend and take care.

I know the feeling of your mind turning to mush! I started volunteering at the local library to have some "adult" time, and actually use my brain again. Eventually, they hired me so now I get paid for my break from the house, kids and husband.

This is what I am secretly hoping for

I had a friend who started out driving the school bus, then she became a
teachers assistant, then a teacher, then a principal and now a Supt. in
a large school system. Nothing is impossible if you want it enough.

I can almost hear you breathing happily from hereâ€¦

I had almost three years living by myself while we waited for my immigration process to go through. It was some of THE best times of my life. I know I could and would happily survive doing so again. I just have to remember not to blurt that out when my husband is about. It hurts his feelings.

Working with children sounds like your cup of teaâ€¦

It would help if they just wouldn't speak!

I have to tell you how much I truly love your posts. You, and your situation, reminds me so much of myself.

I hope you enjoy your routine-free time with the little ones and I'm so glad that you're able to breathe easier now that he's left. I'm with you, sister... I'll never live with a man again.

Unless Nicolas Cage becomes available.

Well, I make the exception for Hugh Laurie (or a couple of other babes, who I wouldn't throw out of bed for farting), but he would be the exception.
Thanks hon, hope this finds you well,
