Thanks for the replies. I have been a frequesnt visitor to Pier1 and "Bed, Bath & Beyond" over the last week.
Yes - having the girls select which pictures to include in the collages will be part of our plans this weekend.
W texted last night - "D paperwork ready, do you want to drive over to pick up", I didn't respond. I'm picking up the girls tonight - why do I need to pick up a day earlier.
Hope all the dads out there have a great father's day. Peace everyone.

Had a great weekend with the girls - was sad to drop them off last night, my W tried to engage me in general conversation but I really didn't want to - I'm not ready to be friends with her at the moment, I don't like what she has done to our family and if she were a casual acquaintence I would not be her friend.
I notorized the D papers today - sent her an email telling her the time I would be home over the next couple of nights so she can pick them up.
Meeting an old work colleague for a meal after work tonight and have plans every night his week (how's that for GAL) - just feel I need to keep busy...
Peace everyone.

I'm feeling the same lately w/ respect to my w wanting to be friends. Its been tough and I think GAL activities are a great way to keep moving forward, good job.
Well I am sad to report the D went through last week,it was really weird, as I thought I would be notified of the date in advance, apparently if you have a settlement agreement in place - the papers are filed and then reviewed / rubber-stamped.
I accidently found out on Friday (I dropped my L after we had a settlement agreement in place) - when I logged into the county court website and saw that it was completed on Weds. I still don't have the actual papers.
I have been trying to see my girls as often as possible and my W has been very good about me seeing them. For example last weekend was not my weekend, but I took my girls to a carnival / fireworks and brought them to my Ex-W's home and looked after them until she finished work.
Interaction with my Ex-W has been strictly business about the girls and any other logistics re: the D.
Work has been very busy so I've not really had many opportunities for GAL - suits me for now, I would rather be kept busy, though I do have a concern re: work as we recently lost a big client. Not sure what the down-stream impact is.
Money is tight - but manageable, I bring lunches every day to work and cook larger meals and freeze them.
One interesting thing, when I was at Ex-W's house on Saturday, I noticed one of our wedding photos (my Ex-W and I dancing at the wedding), was on a shelf as you climb the stairs. Not sure if she just wanted to fill the space with a picture (or put it up for my benefit as she knew I would be there). I know mind-reading, she probably doesn't even realize it's there.
I'd like to thank all the good folks on this forum - not sure I would be in the place I am today without you all. It's not where I expected to be in life, but I am doing my best to be the best father I can be. GAL will come as work dies down a little...
I will check in on the forum on a semi-regular basis and provide feedback where I can and pot any updates.
Peace everyone.
