Well, this is monumental for me. I'm actually attempting to write a blog. Wow. I pretty much feel like i have a story, but don't we all!! Interesting or not we all have one. I'm not sure if mine falls in the interesting category but that's OK with me if it doesn't.
So yes, I'm 31 and i have been married AND divorced twice. This good Catholic girl, has had children out of wedlock as well. Let me clarify:
I met Paul and at 20 years old, I fell in love with him. Why? I have no idea. He was completely Not my type and not at all good for me. I got pregnant for my first child, and dropped out of college, which was the biggest mistake of my life. I gave birth to Sadie Elizabeth October 17, 2000. Paul and I married May 19th, 2001. My second daughter Sophie Grace was born October 29, 2002. Things got bad, and Paul was doing things he shouldn't. He ended up in Jail for 9 months and we he got out I decided that he had put me and my children through so much that I had fallen out of love. We separated and divorced. He moved to Tennessee where he now resides and was recently married to a woman who is a wonderful Stepmother to my daughters.
After Leaving Paul, I met a man who was not only good looking but charming. he fell in love with me and I followed. We moved in together. He had a son. I got pregnant and we got married. Peyton Keith was born Sept 8, 2006. Roland I soon found out was bipolar. He ended up coming home one Saturday in May and told me he was leaving. It was completely out of the blue and I was devastated. It took me almost 6 months to completely come to terms that he wasn't coming back...but I did. And apparently when he walked out me, he walked out on his son. His relationship has slowly dwindled away. I haven't seen or heard from him in 2 months. Not even a call to wish his son happy birthday. His loss.
This is just some history and background of why I am where I am today.....A HAPPY SINGLE MOM OF 3!!!
I am a Server at Logan's Roadhouse full time, and after ten years i am back in College at McNeese State University, as a Nursing major.
Kim, I'm so proud of you. For telling your story and starting a blog. I've been blogging for almost 2 years and it's been the best use of my "free" time. It also helps you to process your life while you're living it. (AND you can make a book out of your blog with the touch of a button. :) Rock it, single mom! (Maria Tartamella Lewis)
