A [C]harmed Life

::taptap:: Is this thing *still* on? Of course it is, because I still pay for it, because I can't bear to part with the archives of my happier past. However, as it turns out, the yearly fee is still a damn sight cheaper than therapy, plus it gives me the added feature of being able to post Cute Baybee Pictures. So, for anyone who may be reading this who remembers me from 2007-2008, and for those Facebook friends who have stumbled across my archives, I'll try and bring the last three years into a brief focus first, before continuing on. Whe. I started this blog, I was a SAHM, upper-middle-class, happily-married mother of a darling little blonde baby girl, living in San Diego County, and newly-grieving the loss of my mother. Now, a few short years later, the former Mr. Charming is now Ex-Husband #2, BabyDaddy Extraordinaire, and, despite our very real differences, one of my best and most loyal friends. (I attribute this bit of fortune to not just an effort to maintain the well-being of our daughter, but to a mutual respect and genuine liking. Guess I'll find out when she turns 18, though.) Nowadays, I am the proud, sort-of-single mom of two gorgeous girls, living at poverty level. In the intervening time, I have gone through: a return to the work force,four job changes, a cross-country move, three local moves (and a fourth next week), a divorce, a long-term relationship, an unplanned pregnancy, a second healthy and beautiful child, a broken engagement, and am now engaged again, to someone who both of the fathers of my daughters get along with. (Thank G-D, because we don't need no imported drama here. The domestic variety is quite sufficent.) Oh yeah, and my dad passed, in the middle of the breakup/moving/heartbreak mess, in December. Clear as mud? Hope so, because the next post will be the new cast of characters. Pay attention, there will be a pop quiz ;) To Be Continued...
