The holiday fun has just begun

Thanksgiving day is over, but right now I am not feeling like I have too much to be thankful for. I am a single parent with two children, still an E-4, still having problems with some people at work, and still have an ex-husband who will probably try to get out of increasing his child support come January. All in all, I still have a lot to wish for. Like a promotion, a duty assignment change - like, back to Ft Bragg, maybe a boyfriend would be nice. About the only thing I seem to have going for me right now is a handful of true friends, my kids are fairly healthy, my car is paid off, and my career has not been ended by the junk at work so far. In about three weeks my ex-husband will be flying in (courtesy of a plane ticket *I* paid for and will probably never be paid back, along with the other $600 he owes me) and he will be spending 4 or 5 days with the kids and I will be spending 4 or 5 days keeping my handful of true friends from killing him for leaving me and trying not to start a fight with him myself. So let the countdown begin.
