So I called my daughter finally.  She’s doing well and we had a good "get it out" session.  Seems she’s been upset about how I’ve changed since I got married to Daniel.  Well, she’s right.  I told her she’s right. 

I asked the boys too what they thought, and they agreed.

Before Daniel I was a single mom for about 10 years.  It was just me, my kids and my job.  So they got all the time in the world when I got home from work.

In pops Daniel and my time is cut between my kids and my husband.  Tough to do.  Tough to get used to on all sides.

So, the kids have had less time with me and they have noticed ofcourse.

The things you gotta do ya know?  It’s tough but I love them all and I make efforts everyday to be sure each has attention, but it is difficult in a new marriage.  I’m getting there.  Slowly but surely.

As for everything else that happened, we’ll mend as we go.  But alot of damage has been done.  Just need to get past it I suppose.

Jess is doing good, all A’s and B’s so the move for her is a good one.  

I am happily married to the man I will be with until I die.  My children are only with me for a short time and we’ll make the most of the time we have.  But I just know that others that go through marriages after divorce or widowing with children – they have struggles too.  Just need to get through it.

I love my babies and my honey.  I am truly lucky to be so "blessed".
