& yet it's been another month or two since I've updated this. Well, at least it wasn't four months again! =]
We are currently in the process of trying to sell our house. We had an open house on the 5th of July and received an offer the next day. We had been waiting for their loan approval to go through and I'm sure glad that we waited to put the 'SOLD' sign up (even though the realtor encouraged me to go ahead & do so anyways). Turns out that the one buyer's employment couldn't be verified. While I was looking forward to moving onto the next chapter in our lives, I've decided it could be a blessing in disguise. The buyers were being a pain-in-the-you-know-what ever since day 1 (lying about not speaking English was a big no-no, especially when we heard them speaking English in our driveway!). It's just amazing what people will try to get away with.
I'm still at the attorney's office dealing with the chatty cathy's. I was SO looking forward to counting the days 'til I left, but now we are back to square one again. But, we do have another 'qualified' buyer coming to look at the house this evening, so keeping our fingers crossed.
On another note, today is my baby's 5th birthday. I cannot believe that 5 years have flown by already. Sometimes I think of all I've missed by having to work full-time; but at the same time, my girls are well-adjusted social butterflies. I couldn't have asked for better sitters while my girls have needed them!
This is gonna be a short day - about to head out soon to go & clean the house up for tonight then go & get the girls early. Hope everyone has a great day!
'til next time....

So this is my first attempt is 'blogging' - we will certainly see how this goes! I don't have any intentions here other than to hopefully entertain, tell some silly stories, or just ramble about the lives of myself and my family.
About me: I am a recently divorced momma of 2 beautiful girls. They are my world. Their father did something he shouldn't have last year, and no wife should have to experience that, hence the divorce after 8 years of marriage. All the same, while he wasn't the greatest husband and took me for granted (I feel), he is still a good daddy to our girls. We (the ex) and I have been on speaking terms again and things are going okay. All I can say is I will see how things go. I have come to realize that maybe, just maybe, he didn't do something all that bad, but at the same time, when one has had it happen to them before, they are not inclined to allow that behavior any further. To sum it up, he got mad at me one night and pushed - no shoved - me, leaving marks on my arm, scars on my knee and ankle, and a scratch on my head as well. He blames me falling because of drinking, but when a 200-lb guy pushes a 115-lb girl, she's gonna go tumbling! Needlesstosay, that is in the past and people do move on. They may forgive, but will never forget. I think that will be a downfall to he and I if there is any future, but it is something I have prepared myself for and deal with it if/when it does occur. I personally enjoyed being on my own last summer with my girls. We had fun. Things were more relaxed and me and the girls grew closer.
I grew up here in Omaha and I am still in Omaha. I sometimes feel like I will never leave this place, all the while my parents are trying to get us to move closer to them. I don't quite know how I feel about leaving a place that I've known all my life and I know like the back of my hand.
As for my day job, I work as a legal assistant/paralegal (still trying to figure out my 'title') for a crabby old jewish man. I am serious. Well, he's not as crabby as he seemingly used to be, but he has his days, as we all do. I love my job. I get paid well to do hardly anything except enter his time and do a few letters or memos here and there. Who could ask for anything more!? It is just the boss and I in his business. We are in an office with another attorney who has 2 legal assistants of his own. You will hear much about both of them as they are all I know during the day. The things that happen in this office just baffle me!Anyhoo, that's a short summary of my background. I will have to post more later! 'Til then.....
