I hired a lawyer. I asked Pablo what he wanted and had the separation agreement drawn up with everything he asked for and now he's changed his mind. I just want this to be over.

Pablo and I have been married for five years. Tomorrow is our anniversary.

We are separating.

What happened to "Happily Ever After"? I know that things can't be perfect all of the time, and I never expected them to be. I just thought...

It's been a while. I am currently teaching high school English. I'm happy. It's what I've wanted to do for a long time. Right now I'm teaching World Literature (10th grade). I will teach American Literature (11th grade) next semester. I'm also teaching a Journalism I class. I like my students and I'm happy with my job...even on the days I want to ( Read more... )

I was offered a job. It is a good job and a job I wouldn't mind taking on if it could be made full-time and not interfere with the teaching program I'm in but it's not the job I WANT. ::sigh:: I have a lot to consider this weekend about whether or not I will accept the position and the setbacks I will face if I do. I've spoken with one of the ( Read more... )

I completed my last class towards my BA in English. In one more year (6 classes) I will hopefully be finished with my NC teacher's license. Depending on what I decide to do after that it would take one more year to complete a Master's Degree. :o)

We spent most of Father's day at my parent's house. Big Joe has been pretty under the weather lately and didn't want to do anything so we took the boys over there and I vacuumed the whole house (and I mean the whole house because they even have carpet in the bathrooms). Big Joe has been complaining about not being able to vacuum the stairs so I ( Read more... )

We took Pablo's mom to the airport on Saturday morning. I think we were all a little sad to see her go (and a little bit happy as well). I tried very hard not to laugh when Gabriel said, "Yay! Now we don't have to speak in Spanish." Yesterday we decided we would have a family day (meaning no random trips to "WalMart" for Pablo and no time on the ( Read more... )

I've always known that I would not be a drug addict. That my number of sexual partners would remain at or below three...including the one not by choice. I know I will finish my BA and probably earn my Master's degree in the future. I have always thought that I would grow up and have children. I usually pictured myself as a single adult who would ( Read more... )

Pablo's mother is here. She's already doing more than she should. (I got home from school today and my house looks 100% better than when I left it.) I feel so sorry for her (not sorry as in pity but just that I wish I could help her). She's aged ten years since we saw her last in January...and I know those ten years happened in a week ( Read more... )

I yelled at Pablo for the first time today since Wednesday. It did not make me feel better.
