It has been an unbearable week! Maybe it doesnt help that I am PMS'ing.
My kids have been doing even more this week to drive me carzy, doing everything they know they are not supposed to do.
I am still living with my parents. 3 people in my old room just doesn't give any place for me. Everytime I think I found a place to live something just keeps it from working out. Grrr!!!!
I had to take my truck in becuase the check engine light is on. I found out that it needs emmission work and is going to cost me $633+tax. The warrenty seems to not want to cover it. My dad is trying to see what is going on, hopefuly saving my some money.
The one to thing to look forward to is before my husband and I decided to split, we purchased a cruise. We are going on that saturday. I know that we can stay friends enough to enjoy ourselves with the kids on it. But I have to drive here to Ft Lauderdale to pick him up and then we drive to cape canaveral to board the ship.
Tomorrow is going to be a long day.
Does a speration/divorce get any better? I mean as you get adjusted with a plce to live, etc. does it get better emotionally to cope? I feel like I am falling apart.

Tammy, I just want you to know that you need to hang in there. I knew when I left my husband it would be hard but the first few months were unbearable. I even tried dating to get him(and the lonliness) off my mind. But I caved and got back together *bad idea* Stick with it and don't date until you feel whole again! It will get way better in like a year!

And about your truck, emmissions isn't worth it. You shouldn't have to pay that much if your truck runs, check on the web and call for quotes and make sure that is the right price!

Yes, it most definitely gets better. At first, it seems like everything is happening at once and there are so many more decisions to make, but you will gradually ease into things. Of course, right now, it is going to be kind of uncomfortable and hectic because you don't have a place of your own. My 8 month old and I are still living with my parents and at times, it's great to be around all of the family, and at times it's like, "I just want to pee in peace and have a whole closet to myself!!" Once you get your own place and get your own little schedule and rules worked out with your children, you will probably be surprised at how much easier it will be.

I would like to say that it does I think there are good days as well as ones that are not so good I have been on my own for 6 years I have bought my own home and work 2 jobs while going to school. I think the being single gets easier and in time things just come togeather as they should. Things will still happen I remember just a few months I was at work parked my car in our lot and came back to find that my bosses car had cought fire and taken my car with it, things happen but then there are days when nothing can go wrong and those are the days I enjoy for I have visited those days that have been not so good.

Not only does it get better, we get more conditioned and better at it. It took me a few months to get a routine down and once I did everything else fell into place. Hang in there and God Bless!
