And here I am ...

As I type this, I'm not sure if anyone will ever read this but if you've found me, then welcome to Detour to Happily Ever After: Musings and Adventures of a Newly Single Mom.  Simply put, after a nearly 20-year relationship, I've found myself separated from my husband and, for all practical purposes, a newly single mother.  Needless to say, this is a challenge and a roller coaster and the source of a whirlwind of emotion and reaction, so here I am.  The therapist (doesn't that just make me sound like a nut job?!) recommended that I start a journal.  I'm sure she's right since this is her job and she's been doing it for some time, but journaling isn't exactly my thing.  I'm hoping this is.

Call me Sadie and my two girls are Big Little Kid and Little Little Kid.  I also work full-time outside the home.  That's another story.  Yes, my hands are full and now I'm doing it on my own.  The Hubby isn't out of the picture - he's an involved dad and we are hoping to work things out (maybe you should just call me Pollyanna) so I certainly have help.  At the end of the day, though, it's me and I feel like I'm starting from scratch.  So if you're still reading this, buckle your seat belt and come along for this bumpy ride.
