Funny, I didn't think of it as a promotion. Basically it is a chance to buy into the company and then I do get money off of that. So passive income is great, just wish it was more. Anyway, my boss was looking at the criteria that they look at to offer you a partnership and he may not be invited to be a partner.
He has been there longer than me, so yes,it is pretty cool to get an invitation. Lots of new tax stuff would be involved since we operate in every state as well as Canada. Hopefully,this will all work out the way it should. If I could figure out a way to make this work, I could retire in 7 years and do whatever from there and probably still keep my ownership. Things to consider. Opinions welcome.

To quote you "your life is in a hiccup". Ups and downs. What is so bad about that?. You deal with a hiccup by taking a deep breath and holding it. Life is not fair. That is why we call it a life. Been through some hard time myself. I just got a raise a promotion and more responsibilities. I didnt know how to celebrate it either. Kinda of what ur going through.
Enjoy the ride Kat. Things will get better when you believe they will. Accept that we are good and capable people. No matter what happened to our M. You will be fine...

Thanks Rick. My S18 soon becoming a father is probably the biggest rocky part, then figuring out away to make extra money (to replace the difference of losing alimony) but still keeping flexibility and now whether to s*ck it up and stay at a job I am not crazy about at the moment.
Just hoping to get out of a rut. Spilling the beans to my parents regarding the baby has helped my stress level already. Parership offer was really expected. What timing!

22 years ago my life changed forever when my first child was born. He has been such a joy. If only all children were so easy to raise. Lol. Don't tell him that. He has meant so much in my life, sometimes taking on more than a kid should have to, but always staying true to himself.
Happy Birthday Christopher!

Hang in there Mama! We can't make all the right decisions for our children but it is our job to help and guide and even support them when they make the wrong ones. Love unconditionally.
I think once the baby comes - your whole world will change but not necessarily in a bad way.
Love all your children with all your heart. It will come back to you a hundredfold!
Yesterday was my second son's birthday. I think I got to see him maybe 45 minutes tops since he had to work and went to his Dad's after since it was his Dad's weekend. Yes, I was a tad sad but it didn't matter because I was home alone.
S19 and his girlfriend went and got pictures taken on Sayurday. Some test shots got posted on his FB wall and yep, showed her pregnant. So my brother called my parents and they called me and said well now we know because your brother said something. Anyway, when s19 got home I had him call them since it was his birthday and he talked to them about it. So it is out there now and I feel relieved. This isn't how he wanted it done but he was slower than a snail so fate just stepped up and took care of it.
I will update ages etc when I get back on later, just wanted to give an update.

Hope you and both your boys had a good birthday month! Isn't it nuts to have 2 kids in a stone's throw of each other? My girls' birthdays are 10 days apart as well.
I'm glad everything is now out of the closet so to speak. That monkey is off your back. I hope the relief you feel lasts awhile.
Hugs,

"There are only 2 ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
Yep, it feels good to have it in the open. I talked to my parents about either helping my kid or stepping back and watching the train wreck. It is alot like going through a divorce except that I know my kid loves me.
He doesn't seem to really be listening to me much so I suppose he will have to learn the hard way, by going through it himself. Yikes!!
Crazy dream last night where the boss of the new company comes to my office and tells me that I am working for him now. I am speechless but my boss is saying he's got this. Just then the power goes out in the new business. All of these cubicles start appearing in my office. All of these people start pouring in from the other business and then a bunch of my current bosses clients need help but the boss is not to be found. I try to help them but when I come back to my desk from the printer, my computer is gone! No, I need it for all of the programs. Christmas decorations are everywhere. It is loud and chaotic and then...I wake up totally exhausted.
Anyone up for dream interpretation? Oh and does anyone feel bothered that they don't have the time right on this site? Maybe just me.
