As for "now"...after almost 3 months of collecting Unemployment (such as it is after CS), I THINK I may have a job...they checked my references this morning which is always a good sign, but the fat lady hasn't sang yet so I'm not holding my breath.
Kids are doing great. Oldest daughter got a promotion at work (I'm still paying CS on her), youngest daughter is visiting her Aunt in Minnesota (gasp...no Internet) and son (with best friend) to coming down for a couple of weeks to go fishing with Grandpa (oh...and Mom).
SO and I split up a couple of months ago, but we are still sharing a roof until my Dad heads back to AZ next month, then I'm out of here. But it's "cool" I guess...we actually get along better now (which sometimes pisses me off, but I no longer feel this compulsion to cut the strings on his precious basses), we don't have any joint children to fight over or anything else for that matter since "we" never really accumulated anything "together". I may take the digital camera with me though since I'm the only one who uses it anyway.
