22-9-2008 - I'm moving!!

My mood while writing this blog: excited/nervous

I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. My boyfriend and I put the downpayment down on a duplex, 2 bedroom/2 bath today. We should get to move in around the 1st or 2nd week in October. I'm 30 years old and finally moving out of mommy's house, out of 30 years I have lived with her for over 28 of them. Way Way to long!! I'm positive she feels the same way. Come Thursday my divorce will be over too!! YAY!!! I've waited 16 months for this divorce to finally be over. He left in May of 2007 and I started dating my current/most wonderful man in July 2007. We are soooo looking forward to finally being in each other's arms everyday without the worry of where/when we get to spend time together. Granted we see each other almost every day now but it's different when you are seeing each other in someone else's home. Especially when they smoke like freight trains and I can't stand to be there. I never thought I would meet someone that was as affectionate as I am, but I think I have definately met my match/mate...and he may even have me beat with wanting to be next to me constantly. I never thought anyone could want that more than me...but we definitely run a close race. It's wonderful. Especially after being married to a man for 7 years that hated affection. My son is not happy about moving, he has been under his nana's wings since he was born with the exception of the 20 months we lived in West Texas in 2004-2005. Yes Myself and the man I was married to lived with my mommy for the majority of our 7...now 8 year marriage. My son depends on his nana more than me most of the time. This is gonna be a big change for him and he doesn't want to make it....so it is going to be a challenge for me dealing with his mood swings. Some would think he's 7 bust his butt and go on...but he has had that and grounding and any punishment we could think of all his life but he is himself and there is no changing it no matter what. He was diagnosed Bi-Polar in October 2007 and so was his daddy. Which explains alot of the reason my marriage was the way it was. So anyway going through this change will definitely bring out the mood disorder even more. Any prayers for me and my son would be greatly appreciated for me to have the knowledge and strength to react to my son in the way necessary to accomplish whatever needs to be done at the time and for him to make the right choices in his behavior. Also for my boyfriend who is going to be dealing with this situation more often when he is not used to his behavior on a full time basis. So excited and nervous all at the same time about this move and divorce being final.
