Introductions are in order...

This is the second attempt to set this up! The first one's lost in digitoland...

Introducing: Teresa and Chelsea!

We are two women making it on our own!

I'm back in school for the third major attempt--this has to be the final one! I'm set to graduate with my Bachelor's next summer, then straight into my Master's in Occupational Therapy so I can earn enough to really take care of this little one.

Teresa and Chelsea, May 2010

I work on the weekends as an assistant to a Home Health Care Aide in a local retirement home. I say assistant--I do the job on the weekends so she can take off, she does the job during the week. So it's pretty good training for my future and for my resume :O)

I am 43 years old with two older children--Matthew and Bethany. Matthew is 12 years old and Bethany is 8. They are from my 19 year marriage and when I went through a very difficult few years prior to and during the separation, we both decided it was best for the children if they stayed with their Dad. He is a wonderful man and takes great care of them. I trust him with my life!

WELL...2 years after the separation, I met Chelsea's father. It was wonderful for 6 months and we were pregnant the month after we got engaged. It was a year and a half of hell after that and it took over 6 months for me to make that final break. But here we are...no real income, no real job, no real money--but we're on our way and we will survive!!!
