Funny How A Big Change in Life Can Make a Big Change in YOU

I never thought having children would be as difficult as it is. And trust me they are putting me through the ringer. But the love that they share with me is so unpredictable and the BEST thing that could happen.
With us going through a divorce there is a lot of drama and anxiety with the girls. I knew it was going to happen I just didn't realize how big of an impact it really would be for them. I figured that they were pretty used to dad not being around. He was gone every weekend and a lot of week nights with training.
But the fact is, that they knew that he was still a part of our family. That he lived here. If they needed him his personal belongings were in our house. Now they juggle with the fact that they are going to his place every other weekend. They see him maybe once or twice a week. CHANGES are being made. Things are BIG. Don't let the LITTLE things get you down.
Now when I say a BIG change in me I didn't know that getting a job, juggling activities and maintaining a relationship with the girls would change me....but it has.
I have lost 20 pounds, am exercising more, eating better, started the application process for school and am in a generally better mood. I am happier than I have been in a long time. So this change is GOOD. For all of us.
