Hey there. I disappeared. It is what I do. Withdraw from the world. I don’t respond to texts, phone calls, or even blog to get my thoughts out. It is a strategy. A crappy one, but one I still use from time to time. I fell apart. Into tiny Justine pieces. I had court two… Continue reading Tiny Pieces
So, I am giving you an update on what is going on with my house foreclosure situation. I decided to do it as a vlog! My very first. Turn your volume waaaaaay up. I’m still figuring it out.
My one word this year to guide me is Light. This kid is my ultimate light. There have been many good things. I got a job tutoring for the school district which is well paying and really gratifying. I work with great kids. Also things have been going well for my little family. We are… Continue reading Life Lately
My daffodils are blooming. It promised to be an early spring. But tonight we are getting a snow storm. Four to eight inches of snow on top of all that new beauty and promise. Covering it, but hopefully not destroying it. I feel like that is my life lately. Most of the time on this… Continue reading Divorce Diaries// Spilling my guts
For the past few months, I have been very worried. And angry. So, so, so angry. Mostly because it was the middle of winter, and he cancelled my car registration and wasn’t and isn’t paying child support. I didn’t have enough money to get a car on the road…. the list goes on. I was blindingly… Continue reading Divorce Diaries// Dealing with Worry
So long, January 2016. You weren’t as kind to me as I hoped. To be completely and totally honest with you January, I almost disliked you about fifty percent of the time. Maybe 99% of the time. If this was a trial month, it was certainly full of trials. I feel like you were trying… Continue reading Good bye January
“Let your heart not be broken.” ~The Band Perry The past few days have been difficult. I wish I could say I was okay, but I fell apart after the incident. There was anger that I was not familiar with. It is still there, and it feels bad. I don’t really know a lot of… Continue reading Pioneer
Last night I almost didn’t get my little one (LO) back. The ex picked him up like he is supposed to, even though most of the time he does not pick him up or interact with him during the week. I thought that was kinda strange but the little one ran off excitedly. So okay.… Continue reading Non-physical custodial parent wouldn’t return child
I lost a lot of friends when I got divorced. I had some that were supportive, but others mostly married or committed friends, distanced themselves from me. In some situations it was my fault. I was so depressed that I simply was focusing on all my energy on existing, on helping my little family survive… Continue reading Divorce and Loss of Friendships
My blogging hiatus meant more than just a break. Things have been good. Things have been rough. Both, really. All the while, my one word this year, light, has been knocking around in my mind when I encounter either. Light. When I have been happy: Goofing around with my kiddo Snuggled up with my pup,… Continue reading When silence speaks volumes
