Happy for me, sad for my kids.....getting out of my marriage, getting on with my life.

For the first time in a long time....
....I'm actually excited about a holiday coming up. For the last year I've pretty much just gone through the motions for any big event. I am really looking forward to Thanksgiving. It feels nice to look forward to something.
I have amazing kids. They're happy, healthy, bright, funny, creative, kind....did I mention beautiful?? I've been a stay-at-home mom for the last 12 years. I really enjoyed the stay-at-home mom gig....but am realizing that it was a big mistake with a possible divorce staring me in the face. I don't regret the time & effort spent at home but I've lost 12 years that I can never get back, earning-potential wise.
I'm a funny person....I can see humor in just about anything. I haven't found any humor in this situation, but give me time....I might. :P I love witty, sarcastic people....if you have no sense of humor we probably wouldn't like each other much.
I am a do-er. I like to be busy, like to get a lot done, like to have probjects to work on. If I decide to paint my house, I go buy the paint, get started, and am done with the entire thing in less than a week.
I am frugal but not cheap. I appreciate a penny-pincher but hate when someone is cheap with other people and always wants something for nothing.
Most of all, I just want to be happy again. I know I will never feel like I used to, but maybe a new normal will be just as good if not better.
