Hi Rebekah,
I live in Portland and finished grad school at PSU this past March. Wondering if you moved to Portland yet and still need contacts here. I also have kids around your younger kids age.
Trisha,
I totally relate! I am finishing my undergraduate, raising three kids and applying to grad school, and then WA~LA, I start to get that feeling, that I want to be remarried or at the very least in a relationship. That having been said, I do...
I am the same way. When life's bumps get in the way, I make a decision to chose joy. I feel that although life may not always be all joyous, you can always find something to be thankful for. Another thing that I have begun doing is keeping a grati...
Morgan,
when i need to get rid of remaining pounds I cut my daily calorie content to 1200 calories a day, six days a week. One day a week I pick to cheat, not the whole day, but I cut myself some slack. Not only does this work quickly (2-3 lbs we...
Amen sister! Sometimes hanging with the girlfriends, whether taking in a movie, or a cruise, can do more for the heart and soul than anything else!
Your post made me feel all warm and fuzzy -- thanks!
And if you were a Cleaver you would have to ...
Katherine,
I can only tell you from my experience, that I would go with your gut. I started dating a man a year after my divorce and we were engaged within months. Having full custody of my children, I didnt have nights off, so he stayed over when...
I love being a single parent! Don't get me wrong, I would love to remarry eventually, but right now my children are my priority. I have amazing children, who tell me all the time that they don't need a dad, because I am the best parent ever. I cou...
I would say listen to your gut, if you truly feel that it is no big deal, it probably isn't. If on the other hand you feel unsettled, there is probably a reason. This having been said, I agree with Scott. Unfortunately, oftentimes, we bring our pa...
When i first moved out here i had no clue as to what i wanted to do, it's always been a dream of mine to work for the Secret Service Uniform Division. I currently work in sales for Platt Electric Supply and i've also been in the management role. It was really hard leaving the Marine Corps after 10 years, I got out because of my ex-wife. She is originally from here and she wanted for us to move out here, so i did. Now that i've been divorced for a while, i've been thinking of pursuing that dream. The only thing that holds me back is Aliana, i don't want to be away from her, i love my little princess with all my heart. Right now i'm just taking things really slow and i love my job right now. Things happen for a reason.
Yes i do, when are you planning on making your trip? That's one of the great things about this site, single parents helping each other. How long have you been on iheart?

About Me:
In essence I am super woman, and modest to boot. I am finishing my undergraduate degree in Psychology and Criminology, work two jobs, homeschool my oldest, teach sunday school, volunteer as a CASA, make it to football, baseball, guitar and cooking lessons. I have been divorced for over 6 years, am just coming into my own, and realizing who I am and what I want. I feel that laughter can cure anything and that life is far too short to take oneself too seriously. I have three amazing children, who teach me more about life than any classroom ever could. I am relocating to Portland to attend graduate school and would love to make connections with other single parents. Anything else, just ask.

You assume he even realized that he couldn't purchase the home on his own, since he is not divorced. I'm sure LOTS of people go out and buy homes between the separation date and the day the divorce is final. But you don't here of lots of them bein...
