I just took a deep breath. I heard the baby stir, hopefully he will sleep well tonight - his teeth have been giving me, er, him trouble.

For every positive thought, pray, concern, and message to me -- I am so grateful.  In the past....however long it has been...I have seen some of the darkest days of my life thus far.  I have felt like going back.  I have felt like giving up.  I have felt hopeless.

But there is good news!  A job!

One week from today, I will start a job as an Assistant Director at a preschool.  It is wonderful because I will have a great balance of creativity, responsibility, and an income!  Perhaps best of all, one of the perks is *free* childcare so not only will my little guy be just a few doors down from my desk, but he will attend at no cost to me - how delightful!

My husband didn't show up to the court date so a new one was set and child support was determined at that time.

Today I put a deposit down on our own apartment and I was able to get the crib from my husband's apartment so Leo can sleep in a bed now instead of the pack and play! 

Today I feel, for the first time in a long while, like I can breath.

Again, I thank you all for your support.  You cannot fully appreciate how important it was to me...and that on many nights, your kind words were the only bright spot in my day.
