So, I guess I've reached the point in my life where I can almost say, yeah, I got divorced once.  A long time ago.  I know it hasn't really been that long, less than 3 months to be exact.  Still, life has moved along, and with it I guess I have, too.  Believe me, I still have my weepy, "where did my 'perfect' life go moments," but they are much fewer and much farther in between.  Additionally, when I see others going through the same boat I was in not too long ago, I no longer feel the need to cry with them.  I don't see myself in that boat anymore, which is a good thing.  Now, I'm probably in the boat next to them. 

I guess I just never noticed it before, but divorce is a common thread these days.  It seems everywhere I look someone *I* know is getting divorced, like me.  I feel like such a trendsetter sometimes :)  I wonder if there will ever come a day when there is no one left to get divorced?  That's a kind of scary thought.

So, I'm floating along in my non-going through a divorce boat, just taking stuff as it comes.  As long as it doesn't come too hard or fast, I'm good.  When it comes too hard and fast, well, I've gotten really good at praying quickly :)

Other completely random thoughts for today -
Skylar has started hyphenating her name (My last name - her last name).  It's sweet, but sad, too.  She is trying so hard to make sense of this thing that just doesn't make sense.

Alex has decided that in order to be the tether ball champion, he is going to play with the really good player, pretend he doesn't know what he's doing, learn the other kid's tricks, practice them on someone else, then come back and use the kid's own moves to beat him.  I'm such a proud parent :)
