Geesh...

It has been forever and a day now since I last posted on this blog. I feel awful!
So much has happened, I don't know where to begin. I can tell you all that I am finally happier than I have been in a long time, although I am at the same time very stressed. One thing that no one tells you is that even if you are used to raising two kids on your own with no help or break from your spouse it is extremely difficult when you are doing it with little to no monetary help from them after the relationship is over.
I am back in school, which adds to my stress, but it is so nice to be able to say that I will most definitely be completing my degree very soon! :) I'm actually doing quite well in my classes now. I am working hard to find a balance between life, taking care of my kids, working, and doing schoolwork, and I think I am finally getting into the swing of things.
I started dating a few months ago... That didn't start out very well. I also had a friend that was just always there for me. The thing is, the more he was around, the more I wanted to talk to him about everything and the more I learned to trust him. I finally (in true Alicia fashion) absolutely lost my temper with him one day and told him that he needed to be a man and ask me out if he actually cared for me that way. We have officially been dating for about 6 weeks, but I think if you really want to count how long we've been seeing each other, it's more like 3 months. I adore him... He is a total sweetheart and I care for him more than I ever thought that I could.
The kids are doing great. Micheal goes back to school next week. I'm so nervous for him. I think he should do well. Kyle is Kyle. He's smart as a whip and just can't wait to do everything. He's also my little sweetheart. I don't know what I would do without those boys, they are my world.
Another tidbit, I bought a house!!! I love it. It's small, but it is mine and it's perfect for me and the boys...
Well, that's about all I have for now, I need to get ahead on my schoolwork. :)
