Damn, situations new to me, why?

Well we did it! We survived the next hurdle of singlemomhood... the solo Thanksgiving! Well I really shouldn't say "solo" because we were anything but alone.

My awesome friends, and their awesome family were nice enough to take in us strays and share their Thanksgiving with us.

And I say this with tears in my eyes, I am so blessed, and so grateful to them that they care enough about me and the kids to do that.

This is all so new to me (being single) and some parts of it I like (not being in a crappy relationship anymore) and some parts of it I don't like (feeling alone)... this was defintely a bittersweet Thanksgiving.

My first Thanksgiving in 9 years spent as a single woman... Charlie's first Thanksgiving with his new family dynamic... Timmy's first ever Thanksgiving.

When I gave birth to Timmy 5 short months ago... I thought his first Thanksgiving would have been spent with me and Daddy and Charlie at his Mimi's house with his Poppy and Kami... but instead, he got a different (and I think better) first Thanksgiving surrounded by people who love him! Nick, Shannon, Brodi, Michelle, Mike, Dawn, and Frank!

I can't even begin to imagine what next year's Thanksgiving will look like... will I be in a relationship with someone... spending Thanksgiving with them/their family.... will we have a repeat of this year with our adopted family... or will we do something else entirely?

Nobody knows... and you know what... I'm okay with that, because I know, that no matter what, at the core, I will always be spending Thanksgiving with my two special boys, Charlie and Timmy :)
