Single parenting after divorce, work, life, and kids.all under this small roof. Monday, June 9, 2014. My marriage is over due to depression, depression that refuses to be acknowledged by him. That's so beyond frustrating, that fact that I see it but he doesn't and he doesn't want to do the help and the work that is needed to try. But that's the hallmark of depression isn't it? Right now I run for mental health. Saturday, June 7, 2014. Be excited and animated.". I don't like facing my biggest fears. So to...

Single parenting after divorce, work, life, and kids.all under this small roof. Saturday, January 31, 2015. Over the last little while I have done a few things around the house ranging from my big countertop project to a smaller back porch project. I saved money by buying a piece of counter top that was cracked but I would be cutting it off anyway because it was too long for my area, and once again clearance paint on sale from $48 to $18 cut my budget way down. Potential but not quite there yet. And last...

The home project: basing all future relationships on the orkin man
http://northof60yukon.blogspot.com/2015/07/basing-all-future-relationships-on.html
Single parenting after divorce, work, life, and kids.all under this small roof. Monday, July 27, 2015. Basing all future relationships on the orkin man. I've set a new bar in my life, I will forever expect to be treated as well as the Orkin man has treated me. Yes I am paying him for this service, I get that totally, but still his patience and his thought process about my comfort level over some silly little mice is refreshing. It's the first time in a year that someone has actually gone out of their...

Single parenting after divorce, work, life, and kids.all under this small roof. Monday, March 30, 2015. But if it isn't on facebook it can't be real. Every time I read a post on facebook about "my wonderful husband", "best dad ever", "love of my life" I get little irrational knives of anger and jealousy stabbing me in my stomach. I honestly stare wistfully at those posts and see the accumulated likes and feel a range of emotions. No But I do. Is making a facebook post the end of the world? There are days...

Single parenting after divorce, work, life, and kids.all under this small roof. Monday, May 18, 2015. But sunshine and the promise of a warm weekend, the first we have had this season, coaxed me out of my pouty mood. We had a thumbs up weekend, one the kids are still gushing about and it gave us a time to get back together as a family in a way we have been missing lately. Dollar store trips to stock up on all the cheap but essential summer toys like bubbles, balls, hula hoops, bug nets. So the day went o...

Single parenting after divorce, work, life, and kids.all under this small roof. Tuesday, April 14, 2015. I can't believe it has been almost a year since we moved home to Newfoundland. So many emotions come with that statement. It's been a rollercoaster and the ride isn't even halfway through yet. We are trying to get into Yoga. Working hard on math work. Thursday, April 9, 2015. Friday, April 3, 2015. It's good Friday meaning I am off work and the kids are home. Spring is just there, somewhere around...

Single parenting after divorce, work, life, and kids.all under this small roof. Friday, February 27, 2015. I mean come on they can mix Disney's Frozen with Vivaldi and give you shivers. Amazing. Already tonight I feel an incredible sense of relief I haven't felt in awhile. While lying back listening to the haunting sounds of the cello I am reminded of the saying a very wise woman told me recently. "Only you can let yourself feel down, no one else is in charge of your feelings but you.". Is it the weather?

Single parenting after divorce, work, life, and kids.all under this small roof. Sunday, August 30, 2015. It still makes me stop though and pity the man I once admired and that's a funny thing to feel. Friday, August 28, 2015. Last day at work. I am in such a good place right now. Everything is falling into place and I feel on top of the world. When this happens I embrace it and take note of it. I have felt the very low lows so I appreciate the very high highs. I'm a sucker for being busy. I forgot how lo...

Single parenting after divorce, work, life, and kids.all under this small roof. Friday, December 26, 2014. Christmas time again, 2014 edition. It's boxing day night and I am snuggled on the couch watching Coronation Street and sipping tea. The kids are in bed, the tree is submerged under boxes of toys, and I am content. This is the first Christmas since J was 1 year old that we have spent with family around us. It's been a year of new traditions and old mingled together and it went very well. This whole ...

http://northof60yukon.blogspot.com/2015/07/ive-got-good-things.html
Single parenting after divorce, work, life, and kids.all under this small roof. Wednesday, July 29, 2015. I've got good things. Through all this shit I have one bright spot in my life, the almost completion of my degree. My long sought after, hard worked for, passionate about degree. While I am not a registered social worker yet, my course work is done and with 840 hours of supervised work I can officially be out on my own. My life is not determined by the opinion of one man. Surviving the aftermath of a...
