long story short-am living on my mother's property in northern michigan...had a big disagreement which is forcing me to decide to move away....no money saved so it may take awhile-
i can go to school anywhere tho i love where i am at- have a job here tho feel confident i could find SOMETHING somewhere-
my kids and grands are in ohio; another option is wisconsin -green bay or surrounding area...or somewhere near where i am --tho school and job are all that would keep me here
anyone have a rental cheap? need to accept a cat and dog...
i'm very depressed about this turn of events but i am determined not to cave in...its a principle thing
thx for listening--there is obviously more that i am NOT saying--just know that it really took alot to get to this.....
update:I want to thank everyone for their comments and prayers!last week; the stuff with my DIL had me in tears and wanting to just run away from everything....i'm trying to maintain composure-i truly have so many blessings, including my new farmgirl sisters!
i/we are not able to move yet and i don't know when it will happen--but it will- it's a salvation thing for me now--and i dont know if my roomie is staying or going either---trying to take things one day at a time and trying not to get in God's way!!!!! funny how we do that!!!
anyhow-thanx for your caring!!!!

i need to update just to keep my sanity...last weekend we made a flyin drive to ohio to my kids- eldest son got married--i did homework online all the way down and tried to on the way home-except that i was busy havin a total complete emotional breakdown....
we had a nice time with the one son and two of his three daughters at his wedding;my daughter was there as well as my fave (ex) brother in law .Spent the rest of the night with my daughter, her fella and his 9 year old daughter and my eldest granddaughter. Sunday mornin church at a wonderful contemporary service-other son and is wife are part of the music and their two wonderful kiddos were there-after church went for lunch with son etc and daughter etc.....
so---my breakdowj was taht i really really wanna go home!!!!! i should never have left the area when we did in 2002 (still in ohio tho)(followed hubby's dream job) and certainly should not have dragged hubby up here in 2009--my mother and the depressed area hurt him--- so----
my plan is to go home- by end of october i will be moved back to ohio- will take the fall off from school and get back in time before i have to start paying loans....need to find housing and a job ---today i am doing homework and want so badly to start packing....
my mother has no clue what i am planning; she is out of town and i will tell her -just not sure when.....
roomie (ex hubby) has not made the commitment to go but is talking logistics with me- truck rental etc....
only grandson is starting kinderarten this fall...i wanna see their school plays etc..i wanna go to soccer ames and teach the girls to sew and bake with them......waaaaaaaa....ok- i'm good!!!!!!
so-today i am asking my farmgirl sisters to keep me in your prayers and to help me gain the emotional and physical strength to do this..i have done it before- and CAN do it again!!!!
i owe a few barters- they will go out in the mail this week; i'm in the postcard swap and loving it! and i am in the fall matchbox swap and will get them out-then i probly will sit back for awhile.......
thx for listening!

thanks, all, for your prayers and words of comfort.
today, mom took me for coffee; basically confined in the car with her-she dangled a very tempting carrot to try to get me to send my ex away...she really wants that control and showed she will go to just about any length!she hates him and does not want me to have him here.....
i really need to think and as i posted about school, two online classes start right now-heavy reading and lots of writing for the next 6 weeks-not really any time to "think"

Margo,
I am so sorry about your rift with your Birth-Mom. I don't know the details but if must hurt real deep. Green Bay is lovely and the prices for rentals are reasonable. I wish you luck and send you prayers on your move.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

diane-no; my ex husband moved back in with me. we would be willing to move to wisconsin near his family(they are in reen bay area) or to ohio near mine(cost of living waaay high there!)- however right now the cost of moving and getting settled (deposit etc)is the hardest issue......
its so upsetting!
we have a small dog and a cat-both rescues which cause issues as well- we love to have some yard and garden area tho i would be ok in an apt with my school schedule- he is retired-not by choice so i would love to find someplace he could get outside and putter!!!
we have reinvented before and will again-hard thin is this is my birth mom who gave me up at birth and we reunited 11 yrs ago---so it hurts more .

Margo I am praying for you. While we are going thru things it might not make sense but this is happening for a reason. No telling what great things await you at your new location. |
