My Blog

This may not be anything impressive, but I guess I am amazed at how far I have come.

I started this blog, as a trial, in October 2006. It has now been over 5 years and I have posted over 350 posts. Many of which have been in the past year or so, when I decided to use this as a tool to meet people and share.

Thanks to all my followers and those who visit and comment.

I love you all!

Mama Kat - How has blogging changed me

Over the past year, I have started blogging more and more. I find it a way to vent and express myself. I am me, but that doesn't mean everyone knows who "me" is. I find there is support out in this crazy blogosphere and that is awesome. I have learned to be myself and that there are others who share the same views. For 2012, I want to blog more and really get to know those who are out there. I want to learn and grow.

RemembeRED: Cleaning House

It was December 2001 and that was when I started to "clean house".

J was in jail, sitting on warrants out for his arrest, for unpaid support.

This was the third time. I couldn't afford to keep bailing him out, especially when we was running from the law (all of which I didn't know until AFTER the wedding!).

I got pissed. I was upset. I was angry. I cried. I screamed. I hated him. I was mad at what he did to me. I was mad for what he did to our family. I was hurt. I started packing boxes, filling then with everything that belonged to him. I piled everything in the back of his van. In the boxes, just to be mean (kinda), I threw in a couple of our wedding invitations, just for the "turning the knife" factor.

I then spoke with the attorney on New Year's Eve, signed on the lines, and they served him the papers while he sat in jail. I had my doubts, I had my fears, I didn't trust him, but his van was packed, his stuff was out of my house, and the keys were in the vehicle, waiting for him to drive away.

The last day & a half

Okay, so I have wanted to do blog updates and bring over my "other" blogs from a different platform. I have not been up to it. I have been busy with work and school. By the time I get home, I am wiped!!

Since yesterday morning, I have done more on my blogs in a day and a half than in the past 2 weeks. The best laid plans always take forever to accomplish. And, for me... with my lack of spare time... the word "forever" is probably pretty literal!

But I've done it - I have made progress! I am so excited...

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving... and didn't spend too much money on Black Friday.

Can you believe?

I started this blog back in 2006. It has been so long. It hasn't been until recently that I have actually gotten more info blogging, but it's fun, I have meet new people, and I have found there are a lot of us out in this world that are very similar.
