I feel complete...

Experiencing life as a single mom is quite the adventure. The shock of all the bad things that have gone on behind my back has worn off and I'm ready to just live my life! Marlee is thankfully my side-kick and we have wonderful support from my dear friend and her godmother Lori.

We make up the 2 1/2 Women that they should have made a show about! We're so much cooler because we're not wrecked with drugs and alcohol! We're just funny! :)

Last night, I completed myself. I feel like a whole person after this and I never knew it would have that effect! I got Marlee's name tattooed on my wrist.

There are clovers on either side of her name.

It's an odd feeling...this feeling of being complete. I wish I knew how to explain it. But it's like all the bad that has been weighing on my shoulders has been completely lifted off! It's amazing!

Things can only go up from now because it's ME and MARLEE (and Lori, of course)!

MARCH!

I like the sound of MARCH. I'm ready for Spring.

To be rid of saying January or February is kind of refreshing. March is early enough in the year that you don't feel like everything is slipping away but yet its past those two awful first months of the year where you're trying to make sense of everything!

March will hopefully bring some peace to my life. Living as a single mom is hard and most nights I'm just exhausted both emotionally and physically. But I think I'm finding my niche now. I think I'm okay with being alone most of the time with Marlee! She really is the best!

March will also hopefully bring some personal goals. I hope to be out of the terrible 190's by the end of the month! Actually, I'd love to be 189 by St. Patrick's Day but I'm not holding my breath! I really just want to get a routine back in place! I need to set my alarm for 8 am and whether Marlee is awake or not get out of bed and get things started!

Marlee turns 9 months on Friday! I can't believe the time has flown by so fast! Before I know it we'll be celebrating her first birthday! I should probably start saving and planning for that now!

Here's to MARCH! Please be nice to me!
