Ready, set... JUMP!!!

For those of you who are interested, I have indeed left my home. I've been living at my office for a week. Thank the stars for my boss, who has agreed to let me stay here until I find a place to live.

I am fine, I have a place to sleep, food, clothes, and a shower. I have books, I have music. I have my phone.

I haven't been hurt or threatened.

If you have called, emailed, texted, or IM'd me, and I have not answered, do not take it personal. I have not talked to anyone. I only just last night called my dad and told him the news.

I am exhausted. I don't feel like talking about it. I love and appreciate each and everyone of you, but right now, I just want to... rest.

I want to talk to and enjoy the time I can spend with my kids. I want to decide what to do about my future. I want to relax and read a couple of books and SLEEP...

Yes, I am worried, sad, lonely, angry, loaded down with guilt and anxiety. I feel in my heart I am doing the right thing, and that's the only thing that keeps my feet moving forward.

Fling a few wishes to the heavens for me, and I'll be back soon....

Sending you big hugs my dear, wishing I had a spare room nearby you to offer you while you get back on your feet.

ALL of your feelings right now are valid and justified, but ESPECIALLY the knowledge (sp?) that you have done the right thing.
You gave the benefit of doubt and have taken more than enough shit. Don't second guess yourself

Good for you, girlfriend. YOu rock! And you still kick ass at word twist...

It is a scary road to be out of a comfort zone no matter how crappy that comfort zone made you feel.

But in a while living your new life, you will have new comfort zones and look back thinking why the hell didn't I do this sooner

Good thoughts your way

Oh my gosh. I am so sorry! If I lived near you, I would love to have you stay with me cause we would probably laugh our asses off, even at the bad things. I wish you well and hope things fall in to place for you. Stay safe and stay strong. I'm sending wishes your way!
