Hey...I am back.

OMG. Its been two weeks since I have posted anything? I guess I haven't been doing anything too exciting. Actually, with kids everything is so exciting. haha

I just have to clarify one thing to all of you who are talking about me around the water cooler. My "temio" is the same person as Art. His real name is "Artemio". Get it? I know a lot of you thought I had some new boy toy.... nope. Same person.

Anyways, just wanted to get that out there.

Everything is going good with me. My kids are healthy and happy, I am getting my head on straight and moving on in my new life (Hallelujah), Work is picking up (thank the L0rd), Temio is such an awesome blessing to me ( he's the nicest guy I have ever met...those of you who know him..know this) and the months just keep flying by. I can't believe it's October. The kids are already talking about Santa Claus. I feel like Santa Claus just came (:

Over the last few weeks I have had a few (as Oprah says) Ah Hah moments. One in particular is one that I realize about all of the regrets I have about my marriage failing. You feel like an absolute piece of crap when you get divorced. I never realized the "true" stigma on divorce until it happened to me. It's horrible. I wonder if the pain ever really goes away? At the end of the day though I have realized I deserve the best and I won't settle for anything but the best. I deserve to be treated with love and respect. I deserve to be heard. I deserve to be HAPPY.
At the end of the day I want to share my life with someone that loves me and respects me. I don't think that's too much to ask...... ( I am making myself sound so low maintenance...haha. We know that isn't the case)

I am in a place right now where my kids smile, they laugh, they are doing great in school, having fun playing sports, meeeting new friends, and I know they miss their mom and dad being in one place but have adapted better than I could ever have imagined. I miss them when they aren't with me but that is just now something I need to not focus on (or try not to) That is what eats me up inside. It's painful wondering what your kids are doing? Wondering what they ate for dinner? or even wondering if they did their homework? As time goes by I am coping and adjusting. As my friends who are divorced tell me..... "As time goes by everything gets better"
I'm hopeful for that. As each day passes my faith is pushing me through.

Tonight was soccer practice so I am tired. Poor Drew was crying when he didn't get player of the game. I guess that just goes along with having your mom as your coach.... He will get it sooner or later.

Hugs!
Jen Temio and I in San Fran ( i know i look pregnant...i'm not)
