well sounds like you got rid of the wrong woman found a great one and heading for that career you desire you did great it sounds in that 10 years
eke! that ex sounds like a bad thing, and good riddance to her!
e-whore huh? Intriguing name.
Glad to see you realized your dreams of going to engineering school. More power to ya. My husband went back to school to get his masters while working full time and our kids were 1 and 3. It was tough, but he made it. Best thing he could've done for his career.
