Haven't posted here for awhile

Life has been pretty crazy and Disney has been the last thing on my mind until this week.
I found out at the end of October that my husband had been seeing an old girlfriend behind my back. Two days after I found out I ended up in the hospital with another kidney stone. I ended up staying for 3 days and had surgery two weeks later to break up the stone. My husband swore to me that he was no longer seeing the old girlfriend and that he wanted to work things out with me. I was extremely skeptical, but decided to keep trying for the sake of my kids. On December 10th he told me that he was still seeing her and that she decided to leave her husband so the two of them could be together. So, we're in the process of divorcing. It's been extremely rough, but I'm starting to turn my thinking around. In the end, the kids and I will be much better off. We'll start a new life together and things will be great. At this point we're living with my parents because I have no job and only have access to money when H feels like giving it to me. Once I find a job (difficult right now) and child support/alimony are determined we'll find a place of our own.
We're now starting to plan a trip to Disney in May!! My cousin is getting married in Florida, so I decided to just make a vacation out of it. My parents have offered to pay for the deposit until I have money coming in regularly, which is awesome! The girls are super excited. We were there for my oldest's 4th birthday last year and will be there for my youngest's 5th birthday this time. I'm thrilled to have a trip to plan so that I have something to look forward to.

I am so sorry for everything that you are going through, but you seem to have a very positive attitude which is so important for you and the girls...sometimes things have to hit bottom for you to see that there are better things out there, and I am sure that there will be for you and the girls. I think planning this trip is a great idea...and it is wonderful that you have a great support system with your parents.

May 2009 be the start of a wonderful new chapter in your life with your girls.
