Well the lady who does my taxes takes about an hour. She has her program down pat and since it is just me and not both of us a few less things to enter. I just hope I get a little back even though I have to spend it all before I file B on the 25th. I usually don't care about getting it done early.
I think ex will be in for a rude awakening since he won't get to itemize and he also liquidated his IRA like an idiot. If he planned on filing B he should have kept it. I bet he will owe some.
I will let you know as soon as I get back and we can see if we need to start later or not.

Karen: I would think so b/c I've had talks with D9 and S15 about moving. They both said they would want to move with me. The C has talked to them about it this last time too. I wonder if they haven't said anything though b/c they know H has a temper and to protect me or themselves or something. To be honest I'm a tiny bit scared of H if I'm honest, and moving would prob. give me a little bit of relief from that. I think sometimes he's a little mental or something.
Don't rely on the kids to tell your H anything, be honest with your H if this is truley in your plans (Moving). Eventhough your H is a jerk, being close to him, allows the kids to see their dad and gives you some free time to yourself. I know your H is mental, aren't they all, they are the throw-away part of our generation, if its broke, throw it away and get a new one, instead of trying to fix the problem. This applies to everything for them, including relationships.

I know Jeff. I'm still looking for jobs in this area, and haven't given up 100% yet. If I got a job in this area, I would def. stay. But I have started looking elsewhere this past couple weeks since my area is tough right now. If I found out I was going to move, I would immediately tell H, but don't really want to start a fight over something that may not happen. Prob. an expensive fight with the Ls and all too... Karen

By the way, how's the cookie man doing? Has he found anymore "reasons" to visit with you?
Well, I see him every Sunday at church. And of course we have to drop the cookies off at his place that he ordered when they come in next week, so.... But seriously, not really interested in dating, just enjoying myself lately and the kids too.
Tonight after I took D9 to the art club and then dropped her off, H was here, was waiting in the house for some reason, he usually doesn't do that anymore. I had told D9 I had made plans to go to the coffee shop after art club, so went there (plans with myself of course) so I missed H again. It's almost like a game for me, to keep myself so busy I never run into him again.
So I went to the coffee shop and 2 cute guys there btw, but prob. in their 30s so too young, and you know I'm not going for cute anymore! Not that I'm trying to avoid it, but my criteria is a little different than it was at 21! Karen

OK, my stress level right now is out of control. I really need to move in about a week, or at least get a big jump on it, next week when I get the next child support/alimony next week. I don't have a lot of $$$ saved, but did what I could.
I'm going to see the L this week and see if I can try to get H to cough up some $$$ to help with moving money and first/last month, and all the other stuff. I know of at least 2 times he cleaned out the checking and savings account for probably a few thousands of dollars, so if I had even a little bit of that would really help. But I'm not holding my breath. If I get desperate, I may have to borrow from my big brother and then repay him, which after 23 years of helping my husband out with expenses/school/our kids really pisses me off.
H trying to control me into moving into his town is crazy--no way am I going to be close to affording that. I think I will have guilt if/when I have to move from here and away from the kids' dad, but I know that I have tried everything to stay here and just doesn't look like it's going to happen. Basically, I'm applying all over now and wherever I get a job, is where I plan on going.
