Who are you?

So what to blog about as my first entry....hmmm....I guess I'll say that I had a previous blog (shhh...don't tell the kids I'm here) but with all things in a divorce, don't feel comfortable using it anymore. And so this new blog is born.
O.K. I suppose I should do a little intro to get warmed up, huh? Hello again, blogging world! I'm Stacy, soon to be 29 and holding for yet another year. I am the mother to 4 kickass kiddos; The Boy Wonder, 13, The Wonder Twins aka Thing 1 & Thing 2 aka The Princess & The Marine, 12, and last but certainly not least, The Diva, who is 7. They are my heartbeats, my entire world. Being a mom is the greatest gift I have ever been given.

I am a full-time-working-going-to-school mama trying to balance everything at once and handle any curve balls that life decides to throw my way. I drink, smoke and cuss like a sailor. Don't judge me. I am very sarcastic and biting my tongue hurts. I've discovered over this last year of my separation that I love to laugh and have fun with my friends. Who knew that would bring me such happiness?! Getting out of "mom mode" as my friends called it, was hard at first but now it's like I can just flip a switch and I'm good to go....kinda like the switch we moms have when the kids are nagging us with the hundredth "Mom. Mama. Mommy." That is also where my screen name that I use on everything stems from, 'sometimestacy'. I'm always 'Mommy' and only sometimes get to be 'Stacy.' I am finding myself all over again in my new life as a single mom.

Currently going through a divorce after 14 years of marriage. No, don't feel bad for me. It has been the VERY best thing for not only myself but for my children. TRUST. My heart does hurt for my babies though. As a child of divorce, I know all too well the hurt, confusion, frustration and anger they are feeling. And it sucks. However, we all see that it is for the best, there was just no other way for the home to be healthy.

This blog will be filled with my random ramblings on everything from kids to divorce to relationships to kids to myself to work, school and well, life as a single mom...it's not for sissies. As the title of my blog says, It's tough on the streets.
