Over the weekend my domain name expired. It made me realize how much i love this website. How much it means to me to have this space to share and record my life. The mundane and the exciting.
The thought that over a twenty four hour period anybody in the whole world could buy up drowninginkids.com had me in a panic. Luckily, it's not really a name many people, or anybody, wanted. So, it's mine for another three years. Phew.
This life in transition is going well. The hardest part is combining our lives again. Two homes to bring back together as one. Giving up my home will be hard. I love my little house and everything it means for me. The hard work i had to do to make it mine. The struggles and successes. The space of my own.
Combining our lives also means coming to terms with both of us having had other people involved in them. We have both had other relationships. Dealing with the range of emotions that brings is more than difficult. Nothing worth having is ever easy though.
It will be another long journey.
almost lost you

Glad you made it back here safe and sound.
Yes but hurrah for him, for you, and for the kiddies!!
It will be worth it.
A long hard road, but so nice to see a destination….
The same thing happened to me right after I got home from BlogHer! Thank goodness the ladies at swank were able to fix it and get me back up.
It sounds like your life is moving in a courageous direction. *smiles*
Welcome home again to both of you.

I am happy for you :) good luck.
Thank God you’re still here! At first, I thought I did something wrong (when I clicked and you weren’t there). That reaction sums up what I’m working so hard on about me. Long story. Anyway, I kept coming back and I was rewarded – YEAH! Note to self – it’s not always me or something I can control. Don’t give up so soon on things.
A while back, in line at the grocery store, I saw, purchased and then framed, a greeting card with this quote from Eleanor Roosevelt – “Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, today is a gift.” I hung it in my mudroom, next to the door, so I can’t not read it all the time. I’m trying to help myself as much as I can.
I’d love to come back as one of your children. The LOVE, the FUN, the YOU ARE SPECIAL.
Your fan,
MMB
So glad you didn’t lose us – or, that we didn’t lose you. I’ve been reading your site for a long time – since my early blogging months – and I’d hate to see you go.
Congratulations on holding on to two things that are totally worth the hard work.
