Again, it's been a while since I posted. I suppose I just get the hankering for an online diary every once in a while.

Let's see, what has changed: my son was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and had been on medication since April. He made a drastic turnaround with his behavior without becoming a zombie, like I had feared. He still has bad days, but we all do.

I got sick of driving 45 miles to work every day and was offered a job locally, took it, and am much happier. I took a pay cut, but with the gas money I'm saving it almost evens out. Still living paycheck to paycheck, but what's new about that?

My fiance is waiting to go to a halfway house. We expect he'll be home and free sometime next December. Life hasn't been easy sticking with my incarcerated love, but I figure I waited 32 years for him, a little longer won't kill me. He's more than worth it. My son adores him and calls him dad - the only man who has ever earned that title from him. He truly treats me like a "princess." Like I deserve, I should say. And I love him more each day, and we have grown stronger and closer because of the situation we were forced into.

We are still in our quaint home in a tiny town, with hopes to buy it and never move again. I have lots of remodeling plans to make it our own, update it, repairs, etc. I started by turning the spare bedroom into a walk-in closet/dressing room and oh, my, am I in love with that. Lots of honey-do projects for when the man is home.

All in all we are as happy as can be expected, eagerly awaiting the day we are all reunited but living life as normally as possible. I love my life and there's only one thing I would change. To have him home. To have our family together and finally marry him. Then, we will have our happily ever after.
