A New Kind of Normal

So I've decided to just realize that my life is going to have to have a new kind of normal.  UGH...I feel like I'm always in a state of transition but at least this time it was my own choice...amazing what a little control will do to this woman!

Ok...so life...transitions...control....

1.  I close on my new house next Friday!  Yup...that's the plan...but what stands in the way of final loan approval.  Well that would be my ex-husband.  Yup...he's filed all the paperwork to get my name of the two loans (home and vehicle) but it's taking FOREVER.  I need paperwork to the bank by Friday stating my name is no longer on either of these loans...I hate when my life decisions are at the mercy of people I don't even know how to contact.

2.  My job...although awesome...is becoming VERY overwhelming.  I'm out of the office but in the office.  Huh you say?!  Well I have a week of training in the building where my office is housed, but I don't have time to get work done, but I still have everyone calling and emailing me because I have a JOB to do!?!  Looks like I might be working a little late tomorrow...yup that's how I roll.

3.  Dating...What!?!  WHAT?!?!  Did this woman just say dating?  The one is just announced her divorce but a month ago.  Well yes, yes, I did.  Let me be frank when I say...I'm not a fan.  I want the attention, the companionship, the (well you know)...but at the same time it's exhausting.  I m ean at this point in my life I read into everything and dating is a whole lot different now than it was 6 years ago (read between the lines...pre-K...aka...pre kids).  I have an entrouge now when it comes to dating (FYI...I'm not currently dating anyone...but this is a topic that fills my mind and consumes my thoughts...because now I feel like it's dating 3 not just 1 and when do you introduce the person to the kids, and when is it appropriate to let your ex know you're seeing someone and that you're going to introduce the kids to that someone...although part of me would love to be dating this super hot guy who adores me and just worships the ground I walk upon and then my ex husband realizes that I adored him, and worshiped the ground he walked upon and he had a pretty good life but decided to continue his really bad habits (of being a bully)!

So...this week...top 3-closing on a house, my job and dating...my kids will be back home in two weeks (thank GOD) and I think that I feel more at peace when I'm responsible for the day to day activities and knowing that they are with me the majority of the week (please note that I do not believe this to be true because I'm the mom...but because I believe I'm the better parent...there are many dad's who deserve more time with their kids, less drama from their kids mom and probably deserve to have more of the custody....that is not the case in my situation...so please do not think I'm bashing dads, or single dads).

Ok...all for tonight...I would really like to be more connected again to the blog world...it's just so much to juggle right now!!!  Good night world!??!
