So I haven't been able to log on or post since August. Argh.. So here's the deal. I got a job (see below photo) I'm a bartender with some seriously sweet hours. M-F 11am-7pm. I'm making enough to potentially live on my own. Flash forward 2 months.... November 7th 2007 my 29th birthday.. I volunteered to work since you typically get good tips doing so.. Regulars at the bar got me balloons, a cake and my boss fed my sharpie addiction with a 36 pack of permanent bic markers. DH fucks with me all day via text message. I get off work and fight ensues threats are made etc and so forth, we both explode and I storm out of house with both boys in tow and a slightly dazed SO.

Soooooo.. Possible divorce on the horizion. I'm living at my mom's house with the boys and SO while we both look for apartments. I'm feeling relieved cause within 24 hours of being at mom's house x-DH and I had our first civil conversation in months perhaps years that didn't immediatly cascade into a cat fight.

As for the SO ya'll know we're poly so I'll fill you in a bit about SO fan-fucking-tastic man. Affectionate, loveable, a ol' skool cuddle bug. So in love with this big burly dude. He's a steel mill worker even so he feels like home to me.. (I come from a blue collar family so it just seems right.) My parents love him, he thinks they're the greatest too.. Here's a little pic..

And here's me at work!!

Any portland mamas wanna have a drink contact me and let me know!! And I'll let you know where my bar is. Laughing out loud Weeee..

It's nice to be thought of..

It's nice to be thought of.. Everything seems for the most part to be looking up I'm happy to be a single mama for the first time even.. Here begins the rollercoaster ride.. It'll be entertaining. Even tho S.O. and I will have seperate residence, we'll have 4 little boys between us. lol and yeah he's a single daddy. eep!

four boys!

Sounds exciting though, kind of just up your alley-- what with him being your blue collar baby. You two can join forces and raise four little lumberjacks Wink By the way, how is the little sasquatch???

Hey stranger!

I'm glad to see your face! I've been wondering/worrying about you off and on for the last while. Even though a lot has gone down you sound pretty positive and that makes me happy. S.O. sounds wonderful and DH...I'm sorry it's been hard with him.
Keep posting. It's good to see you back!

Good to see you

You sounds a gazillion times better then when we last heard from you. You sound HAPPY! Love it. I am sorry you are dealing with an upcoming divorce, but it looks like your future is rosy.
Cool about the job! Cool about the SO!
