Well, she just came and picked up our girl like 1/2 hour ago. She seemed to be in an ok mood. She presented me with her list of things for the pillaging to come. I folded it in half and set it on the counter. She was like, "aren't you going to look at it?" I told her that I would, and get back to her on Weds when she drops off daughter. I think she maybe wanted to debate it today, but I mighta threw her for a curve by not biting.
The list was not nearly as bad as I feared. To be honest, there is not 1 thing on it that I object to. The only thing that I want to add to it is, that she bring me the card table and chairs that is at her sisters, so I have someplace to sit and the garage door remote. I think that is not unreasonable.
I would also like to get her to commit to a specific time for the pilliage. Is that fair?
I want to ask her not to completely trash the place as she moves her stuff out. Is that fair?
Do you guys think I should prep the things on the list? Say have it all in a pile ready for her to take it, or let her do all this work on her own? She already did inform me that she plans to have some help, (brother in laws, sister) and also plans on doing it while I am work.
Also after she claims all of "her" stuff, do you guys think that I should request her house key back? change the locks? Or just leave it be??
Dont get me wrong, I am not really happy about this. I definatly think that it is a step in the wrong direction, making a reconcilliation less likely. But I am keeping my chin up. Not going to get all ballistic or depressed about this.
I still plan to keep my legal appointment on Weds. Get some feedback. I will work through this in the next couple of weeks, then deal with the legal/financial aspects of this house.....
This afternoon, I think I might go to a demo derby that will happen just up the street from here. Make the best of this day.....
