For anyone who is reading this blog here is a little bit about me ! I have a wonderful husband ( okay maybe not wonderful that can be misleading. ) Who is gone more then he is home for his job. That is why I named this blog The Single Mom with a Husband because basically that is how I feel some days. My Husband and I tend to do everything in life backwards and the hard way. We met on Labor Day weekend in 2002 two months later I was pregnant with my first child at 22 ! It was so not planned and very unexpected. So we moved in together and and began life, while trying to get to know one another. Let's just say it was a learning experience for us ! We didn't even have a cat or dog to practice raising before the real deal happened !! I was working then because we were just starting out and I enjoyed my job. Then 9 months later on August 11th 2003 we had are daughter Brooklyn Grace who is one of the best things that has ever happened us.
Then when Brooklyn was 19 months old we started trying for our second child we wanted to have them close together ( Let's be honest I wanted to use all the baby stuff that we had so I could get rid of it. ) I also had baby fever. We tried for a month and behold I was knocked up again ! Then 9 months later came Jaxon Cole on January 23rd 2006. Their were complications with his birth. So we didn't know if we would have another child. At that point we just had too much on our plates. I was still working full time. The hubs was working two jobs and just too further complcate things we were living with my in-laws because we were building a house. So another kid at that time was the about the farest thing on our minds. Life was crazy and busy but, it was good and we were happy.
Then life got hard and we had to wake up from dreamland and live in reality. About 18 months later I lost my job which we had talked about me staying home but, I just wasn't ready and didn't know if we could do it. So there I was at home taking care of the kids and the house and trying to be domestic and failing miserably. While the hubs worked two jobs. One day in March it all came crashing down around us. My Hubs real Dad passed away unexpectedly. The Husband that I married died that day as well. Aaron ( the husband ) began drinking and spending most nights at the bar while I was at home raising are two kids and trying to act like everything was okay when it clearly was not. After 2 years I had enough and gave him his options. He now walks the straight and narrow and he is back to being the person that I fell in love with but, the damage financially was already done and we lost our home that we built and his dad helped build. So back down to the in-laws ( they live on the same road we lived on. ) who had room for us. We chose to live their vs. moving our kids from the school that they go to. We f*** up not them. At the time we were moving I realized that I was late and figured was stress I mean the last few years have been so stressful. Nope because that is just not my luck !! So 9 months later Piper Easton was born on January 6th 2012. Although having three kids is great I did not want any more surprises so I got neutered.
Now things are looking up for and great things lie ahead and I will be writing about all the wonderful and not wonderful things that happen along this sometimes bumpy path we call life ! :)
