Anna’s Life

Well, my oldest child will be 15 tomorrow! I cannot believe Cameron will be that old! He is a wonderful son and I am so very proud of him.  I love him so very much. The world will never be the same once he gets his learner’s permit! LOL

It was sad to see how quickly it was over waiting for the judge to sign off on it.  But, I am glad to move on.  I am ready to experience life for a change. I must say that I never thought my ex would be one of those men who did not pay their [...]

Wow…tomorrow is the day.  My divorce will be final Monday.  After 17 years of marriage and 4 years of dating it will all come to an end.  It is sad, but I am ready to move on to the next chapter of  my life.  I must say I have not missed being constantly yelled at, [...]

I have been perusing magazines and the internet lately for decorating ideas and colors. I am in the process of cleaning out, throwing away, or donating tons of things that we no longer need or use.  I am tired of clutter and mess.  I have decided to turn over a new leaf as I enter [...]

I was so very proud of my daughter for earning an AR Reading award.  She far exceeded her AR Goal for the year once again.  As a child with learning disabilities this is a great achievement.  It was wonderful to watch her beam when she got her award.

I cannot believe my son is graduating from 8th grade and headed to high school next year.  Time has really gone quickly.  They grow up much too fast.  He will turn 15 in July.  I know I am not ready for the learner’s permit! I will need a tranquilizer! How on earth will I afford [...]

This upcoming week will be very stressful and busy.  I will be helping my mom move into an assisted living facility.  It is sad.  I never thought I would see this have to happen. I know it will be much better for mom’s stability to have things pretty much on an even keel with little [...]

Although our household was a horrible place to be for the kids and myself with all of the yelling my husband did at us, divorce is still a difficult thing to deal with.  Since my husband moved out, my kids are more at peace without his constant yelling at them and me. It is sad [...]

This past weekend confirmed for me the fact that my mom will be much better stability-wise in an assisted living facility.  I had my doubts, but after her spending a weekend away from home, she was more out of sorts than usual and more confused.  It just proved that an environment with very little changes [...]

It is hard to believe both Christmas and New Year’s have already passed by.  We have begun a new decade 2010.  It will probably be about March before I stop writing 2009 out of  habit.  We had a nice Christmas this year.  My son is into airsoft guns and equipment which can become quite expensive.  [...]
