Good News Tuesday!
In the holiday spirit (and because a lot of posts have been negative lately) let's do a Good News thread!
Here goes:
I finally feel like I'm getting my life on track. I started applying for judicial clerkships for Sept 2012 and have had some friends with judicial connections helping me out. I'm hopeful that I will have some interviews lined up soon 
My coworker gave her 2 weeks notice (I'm very sad she's leaving) and I'm likely going to have to do both her job and my job because my bosses aren't hiring someone new. The silver lining is that when they tell me this today, I'm going to ask for a salary increase! Fingers crossed they give me what I ask for!

Re: Good News Tuesday!
That IS good news.
My good news, Sadie didn't have an accident in the house last night!! The night before, she woke me up once to go out, but still had an accident. So, it was nice not having to clean up a mess this morning.
They see us rollin'...they be hatin'.
I usually get paid the day before payday with my bank. I completely forgot that this payday is thanksgiving so was expecting my paycheck tomorrow as usual. Got a text from the bank that my paycheck was just deposited. Score!
Also a cute story. My son is also in counseling but for adhd. He has to start a feeding clinic sometime in feb/march so they asked that he go to counseling while on the wait list to make their job alittle easier when he starts. So today was the first session without me and she played with him to get him talking. So they are drawing pictures of our family. He has gma, mommy, mae-mae(my sister megan) and I couldn't figure out what awertb was. Then figured out that she couldn't understand him and wrote what he pronounced. Awertb was Edward(sisters fiance)lol.
I am going to be starting my new job around the begining of the new year! With the increase in salary I will be able to live in my condo without any assistance
I will also be able to pay off all of my legal fees, hospital bills and most of my CC debt with my tax return. This means even with all of the financial damage done by my X and this divorce I will be back on track after only 1.5 years! My DD will not even remember struggling through this and that makes me incredibly happy.
Since the weekend I've been in a great mood! No reason in particular other than I just love the holidays and it started Saturday night watching a local tree lighting with a big group of friends.
I've really decided to start each day making an effort to make it be a great day because I'm tired of being stressed and letting things get to me that I can't control. I'm mainly trying to just change my focus. Most of the people around me focus on all the negative in life and I'm sick of it.
Good news is - my boss will be out of the office tomorrow so I'll get a nice easy day! And probably be able to sneak out of here a bit early!
I guess I have nothing in particular other than I'm just happy
All my children are here this year for Thanksgiving and I have a beautiful 8 month old granddaughter that is making everything so much more fun.
I have started dating again. I had a successful date this weekend and a quick coffee date tonight with another gentlemen.
my doctor said my uterus is great this morning
that's about all I've got lol
For the first time in a really long time I feel optimistic and happy about the future. I think the ongoing romantic interest dumping me has actually really helped me move forward. It's such a great feeling. I had no idea until that happened that I was actually focusing so much of my effort in trying to be with him and holding myself back emotionally because of it.
Also I found a really super awesome volunteer activity that is perfect for me. It's teaching people through a local non-profit how to prepare healthy meals on a budget. So excited!
I've decided to take things day by day from now on. I can only do so much as one person and am ok with things not happening the instant I want them to.
I was at the doctor today and my abdominal u/s came back clear! Yay for being ulcer free!
I'm generally happy with myself. I had a really hard time mentally/emotionally over the last 5 or so years that lead to a lot of ugliness in my life. That being said, I wouldn't do things any differently. I've come a long way, accomplished a lot over the last year and am satisfied with my life right now.
