Moving

I said I wasn’t going to do it.  No way, no how would I ever be some woman that would uproot her kid and her life over some MAN.  I was a GOOD mom.  I would never deny my family and friends of my wonderful and uplifting presence.  I was SO better than that.
So my dad and stepmom are driving my Uhaul out there on November 13 and Shelby and I will probably fly out on the 14th,  on a one way ticket.  We will be moving to sunny and hot Henderson, NV, just outside of Las Vegas.
Although I’ve gotten tons of support from my friends and family, I’ve gotten some flack from people that obviously don’t know me that well.  So of course that bothers me.  “WHY would you move there?”  “Do you really think this is a good idea?”  “Is he really worth all this?”  If you knew me well enough, you would know that this is a decision that I did NOT take lightly, this is not a whim, and I would not risk screwing up my kid’s life.  I’m very sure of Wayne’s character and type of man that he is.  If I did not trust him with my life, I would not be involved with him.  If I did not trust him with my life, I would not be getting rid of 75% of my crap, and moving out there with no job and hardly a dime in my pocket.  And if he didn’t trust me with his life, I don’t think he would be covering my Uhaul, plane tickets, travel expenses for my dad and stepmom, and paying to break my lease.  If he didn’t trust me with his life he wouldn’t invite me, with all my debt and no job into his life, and he wouldn’t tell me how proud it would make him to be Shelby’s dad.  So for those of you who are doubters, there are all the facts that were none of your business in the first place, and I feel better for venting.  Think what you want in your head, not everything has to come out of your mouth.  Of course the people that have said these things to me more than likely don’t even know me well enough to know I have a blog.  But like I said, I feel better.
For those of you who are happy for me, and who are supporting me, THANK YOU.
I hardly see anyone anymore, so hey, maybe now that I will be living so close to a tourist destination I will see more of my friends and family!

So uh, NOW do you understand why I'm moving?


Driving to work...this is what the fellow motorists see.


Shelby acting like she likes me...



Sigh


If you don't think this dog is cute, there is something very wrong with you.


My co-pilot.


Dolly needs bail money!


This actually truly scared the crap out of me when I turned around.
