I haven't been on here in months. I got a promotion in May, same company, different department, and I'm super busy, super stressed but much happier.

I wanted to wish all of you a very Merry Christmas!

DH - Was diagnosed with depression a year and half ago. His on anti-depression meds. and is a changed man. Our marriage is so much better and stronger now. He has stepped up and is very supportive of me and now really backs me up in front of the SSons.

SS19 - Lost his Fanta-suite. DH and I think his BFF got tired of being taken advantage of by SS19. He moved in with us. He's still attending Uber expensive school, and getting good grades. I drive him to and from school every day since my job is located just off campus. This has been a mixed blessing. SS19 talks to me on our commute so I know more about what's going on with him than DH or BM. But I miss my alone time during the commute. I discovered that the only time I had to myself during the day was the time that I commuted. I'm trying to figure out how to carve out more time for myself.

SS15 - is a typical snotty teen. But he is doing awesome in school this year (freshman in H.S.). DH told him no drivers ed. or trapshooting club if his grades suck. And since they don't start till spring SS15 has been working his tail off in school so he can drive and trap-shoot in spring.

I miss you all so much and wish nothing but the best to you and your families!
