Monday I got my 10 yr booster for tetanus. It didn't start hurting until probably 2 days later. Now it's swollen to about the size of an egg, itches, very tender and tough, and feels like fire.

I want to say that a lot of advice I have gotten from friends, family, and websites don't fit evey situation. I read a lot that it wasn't my place to discipline, and DH and I even agreed on that.

This is our last weekend to be kid-free till maybe the summer since BM is moving out of state.

I am starting to work through my own issues of jealousy and other things with BM. Tomorrow is the last visit she will have with her kids for quite some time.

I am first up tomorrow. I am starting therapy tomorrow, some for my sake, some to learn how to step-parent, and some to get the family able to talk bond and communicate. FH has SS5 & 6.

We received our tax refund, and it was enough for us to finally get his reversal done! We are so excited.

After months of suggesting she is leaving, BM has her lease up end of February. She sat down with SS5/6 today to explain she is leaving the state! Yay for us, but I know it will be hard on the boys.

Well BM came back to the state about a week ago. She has the 2 boys (5, 6) for the second half of the holidays.

BM flew out today!!! We live in Texas and she left fir Minnesota with no return date planned!!! So good for us, but SS4 turns 5 next week.

Read this quote and wanted to share cuz it seems there are a lot of "I am done with this" blogs...

When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place!
