Time Has Past

Nearly 11 months have gone by since I last sat down and shared my Random Thoughts.  Many things in my life have changed and many things remain the same.  11 months ago, I was beginning a new job.  I still hold that job, and thankfully did not need to spend the summer searching for a new teaching position.  C and I are still in love, however his house in Connecticut sold and he lives here in NH with me and Archibald my sweet puppy dog.  We will soon be refinancing the mortgage so I can sever the last tie that holds my EX and I to one another.  The girls are now 7 & 9.... going on 17 & 19.  YIKES they are coming into their independence as adolescence - we'll make it through.    C is making my house 'our home' everyday.  He has built a deck with a slider door off the dining room, pulled the bushes out of the front yard, cut the bushes in the back yard, power washed the house, worked on the electrical and central air.  He is extremely handy and I feel  a tad bit useless when it come to everything.  I hate cleaning (always have), I no longer enjoy cooking (could be my dreadful kitchen), and well my thumbs are flesh colored, NOT green at all.  Is there anything else girly I am supposed to do/love, but don't?  Taking care of children... but we don't have any (full time), nor are we expecting any at this time.  C knows what I want out of our relationship and life and he is slowly working towards my dream.  His dream includes a log home on many acres, that is also something we are working towards.  Step by step we will follow the path and hopefully arrive at all of our destinations
