Such a long month
It occurred to me yesterday, dear readers, that I have been neglecting my blogging responsibilities. However will I keep you all up to date on my incredibly fascinating life? I am back today to try and beg for your forgiveness and rectify the situation as only I can. Please be warned, however, some of the following must be intentionally vague for reasons that will become all the more apparent as we speak.
When last I posted, life was taking an unusual turn. I wish, I wish, I really wish I could go into detail here; I'd so love to explain what has taken place but to do so might hurt my chances in other situations so please accept this instead. My life suddenly became color after a long black and white dream.
On Halloween day, I told my husband of six years that I was leaving him and moving to my mother's. The next day, I gave a one month's notice to my employer. November was the longest month of my life. (Even longer than the last month of pregnancy when you're sure around every bend is a contraction just waiting to hurry that child into the world. Anyway...) My husband was terribly unhappy with what was going down and used the majority of the month to either be exceptionally sweet or exceptionally bitter. I suffered through it all. The night before I was to leave, we got into an argument. He grabbed my arm, the cops were called, a messy night was had by all. The bruise took over a week to fade. After having a restraining order filed against him, I took the kids from the house and stayed in a "extended stay" hotel for a week (the judge having decreed the children couldn't leave Wake County until the hearing on the 12th.) G- was allowed visitation at the end of the week, and court today went smoothly. We're working on a week on/week off basis for the time being.
Now my life is getting back on track. I'm finally able to unpack my mess of a bedroom here at my mother's, I'm beginning the job hunt, and my next step after updating here is to start browsing the internet for churches in Mooresville. Ah yes, my friends, I have had an epiphany. It came to me in part as I was attending my mother's non-denominational church. I say in part because another conversation with an excellent influence truly started me on the path. I must say, I haven't felt this relaxed in years. What a beautiful feeling to let go and realize you don't always have to be in control. Life is going the right direction, and I'm going to let it.
Unfortunately, my left hand has decided to freeze up on me; having been somewhat lazy for the past month, it's not up to snuff. Ta-ta for now. I hope to chat more soon.
