Life has been changed a lot

[ColleenF30]

I realized it has been almost a year since I have posted.  It was about that time when life went haywire. 

Sept 3, 2010 I drove from Ohio to North Carolina to spend a few days with friends, and pick up my Daughter from her Fathers house...trip fail!  I was stuck behind a fatality accident for over 3 hours in heat of almost 100F.  The next day I went to visit friends.  I was still a bit nervous driving.  I hate traffic, and it was Labor Day weekend.  I was almost to the location I was meeting friends and the car starts making a noise.  I was closer to their location than my hotel so I went on to meet them.  On the way back to the hotel it kept making the noise.  I called my Mother and told her about the problems, and she didn't believe me.  Five days later car goes in the shop.  $700, and a couple days later I am finally on my way to pick up my Dughter and head home...

So I thought...

30 miles down the highway and the car starts up again.  I stop in the nearest town (it felt like the transmission was slipping).  Called my Mom, and she called me a liar.  I called the friends I had just met, and they arranged a tow for me, and then drove close to 200 miles to pick me up and let me stay until it was fixed.  I was with them 3 weeks.  I came back to Ohio on Oct 1 to pick up my children and come back down to NC to live.  It puts both children with living Fathers so much closer to them (one in NC one in GA).  Everything was going alright.  I had found a nice house down here, and was ready to move.  One Grandmother Gave me issues and still is.  She took temp custody of my middle while I was stranded, and she knew what the problem was.  So much for anytime you need help huh?

I have been living here with two of my kids since October.  They love it, and so do I.  Once I get my little lady back we can be complete again.
