2008

My most memorable day was November 22, 2008. That is the day I went into labor with my 2 yr old. I was in a homeless shelter with my 3 boys and my stepdaughter. I had left my home and my husband a few days before because I found out some hurtful things that he was doing. I basically thought he was cheating. Didn't find out until 1 yr later the truth which was worst than I thought.

Anyway...I went into labor at the home less shelter. I didn't tell them because I didn't want them taking the kids and me going in an ambulance. So I got all the kids up at about 5AM when I realized it was contractions. The plan was to drive to my brother and drop off the kids. As I was driving (shelter was in a different city than my birthing center) the pain got worse and worse so I told him to meet me at the hospital for the kids.

I got there 30 minutes later. My brother had not got there and I had to leave my kids in the waiting room. At that time they were 1, 2, and 8 and 11 (my stepdaughter).

I had the baby by 8:30 am and was severely depressed. Mostly because I felt all alone. I had 3 kids before and always had a support system there with me. I had no friends or family here with me this day.

The pain of childbirth was not there as my heart was hurting so bad. I was severely depressed but at the same time thankful for my 4th son :)

2009

This year brougt forth the truth of my husband's 1 1/2 yr affair, divorce, and finally bankruptcy.

I went through a stage of being lonely as I have not been alone since I can ever remember lol.

2010

I couldn't be happier in this new year. I have no debt, loving life and my boys, happy all by myself (with no man) and finally seeing success in the near future.

I am stumbling on the weight loss but I feel optimistic that I can see some drastic results this year.

I will not give up on any of my goals no matter how many times I fall down!

I hope that anyone reading this that is going through something tough knows that the future can be brighter if you want it to be. Don't sit around feeling sorry, get up and better your situation. This can relate to anything wrong in your life that is in your control.
