Big Deal or No Big Deal?

WOW! I have seriously been slacking....I mean several months since my last post? I must have been busy or something.
To update you, I lost my job, which was ok because it was getting VERY questionable the whole ethics point of it anyway, and then my fiancée ( yes i am engaged , no big deal) and I started a non profit child care center. No big deal right? We house 40 children a day ages 4 weeks to 12 years old (although a majority of the children are 4 and 5 yr olds) and even had time to extend our facility for the summer to house 5-12 year old in a separate summer program licensed for an additional 40 children. Again, No big deal.
Shortly after licensing our child care center my fiancée and myself went on a vacation (which was planned well before I lost my job) to Jamaica, but everyone vacations, so no big deal. I will however have an entire blog about that vacation coming up, so hold your breath!
I have stopped going to church (GASP) because I have lost my faith in the people who call themselves Shepards, so I am struggling with that minor detail (minor....yeah right) but, really, no big deal.
My oldest daughter has hit the milestone every kid looks forward to, being a teenager. She isn't rotten yet, but I am told to give it a year and then try and say that. My youngest daughter turned 8, and although she is very smart she is still baffled how I am unable to love her father and be with him, I am sure years of therapy later in her adult life will open her eyes, because I just don't know how to break it to her.......so i am struggling with parenting skills, but every parent does, no big deal.
My ex husband has started dating, and don't get me wrong I am delighted with the fact that he has realized there is no more "us" . It just makes me slightly crazy because he tries to "one-up" me when it comes to his new girlfriend. Most people struggle with egos and stupidity, so i just have to deal with it because really it's no big deal.
I am overworked and underpaid, and I feel most often under appreciated, but most moms/wives have that feeling at some point in their day so, no big deal.
I guess what I am trying to get across is that, Yes, alot of things have happened, but really, in the entire scheme of things, they are all truly, NO BIG DEAL?
Until next time, that's all for now.....
