Will I Be a New Woman Tomorrow?

No, I'll be the same woman I am today. I'll still have 2 kids that I adore, a guinea pig that likes to hear me sing and 2 puppies that I'm growing fonder of each day. I'll still have morals and principals that I'm proud of and I'll still have parents who treat me with love and respect and some of the best friends in the world.
But tomorrow I will officially be a free woman, a single woman! Yes tomorrow is the day I will finally make my way to the tiny court house in the tiny town near my home and get divorced. It's been a long time coming. It was suppose to happen August 28th but due to circumstances beyond my control and beyond the control of my lawyer, it was postponed until September 17th and then September 24th. Whew....finally.
While a divorce isn't something that I would recommend unless totally necessary, I can tell you that for me personally there's a certain burden that has been lifted off of me. My ex moved out of my home the end of December 2006. I had filed for divorce the first of December and we waited until after Christmas to separate. Once he moved out, I was already a new woman. I think that man just sucked the life right out of me and I didn't even know it until he was gone. I feel happy, hopeful and ready to move forward. Don't get me wrong, divorce is painful, especially for the children. But there's been a certain joy that both my children and myself have experienced.
So while I've been a single mom for several months now, I will officially be a single woman tomorrow. But in reality, I'll still be me........
Let life begin~~
