Single moms, college students, divorced in their 20's

So I am sitting here bored and thought I would see how many ladies on here can relate to me. I am a single mother of two beautiful girls; a 3 year old with Downs Syndrome and an almost 2 year old who's has an attitude from hell (not sure where she got it muahahaa). My divorce will be final the 2nd week in December, I started college in the fall and have finals the very same week in December (stressed much that week? Yes...). I had to move back in with my parents, not great but I'm happy they made room for me. I am working towards my AA in prenursing, then going for R.N., and Bachelors of Science in nursing....I know, it's ambitious!
In other news, I completed P90X in May of this year - best decision of my life! Lost 9 inches total and learned a lot along the way. I eat fairly healthy in spite of my world being turned upside down lately, and I am really good at listening and usually offer level headed advice when someone wants it. With everything life's throwing my way, I am still a strong, independent, confident, hard headed woman....so if you want to vent, have questions about anything listed above, need a friend, or anything else feel free to add me or reply to this post!! :-)

    I'm in the same boat, except not divorced yet. After 1yr of marriage and being 8mths pregnant, he informed me he wanted a divorce. Fast forward 2yrs and we're still separated. But I'm dating and happy. I live with my mom. I could've stayed in our home, but my mom moved into her new home and didn't want to live there alone. I was carrying all the bills by myself so it made sense. It gets better and life goes. I hope to enter school the fall of 2013. Good luck with everything and may we find real men and not boys!
