Serial EA/PA WAW/MLC

[BradNL]

Looks like the first mediator appointment will happen on monday, not looking forward to that. Can see W pushing all sorts of agendas depending on her mood at the time, hope its more of the logical "we get divorced, we raise our kids" rather than the angry "I deserve everything, you are scum" side.

Good news for W is that she got the new job, she was very worried that they would have issues with the intake test results but they obviously wanted her enough to ignore any small things like that. W starts on tuesday, hope the work & environment suit her better than the last job, she needs to keep it if she wants to buy an apartment in the future.

Guess one of the things to talk about on monday is splitting the bank accounts etc, W has been far too easy with spending "her" money and "our" money on all of her new lifestyle things that nothing looks very healthy money wise anymore. Need to have my own personal account again so I can put some aside for me & the kids for a change.

Had a freak hail & snow storm last evening, was a bright day, got darker in the afternoon and by the time I got off the bus it was hailing quite heavily. Started with the snow just after I got inside, nice for the kids to see some decent snow again but I would have preferred it to happen AFTER I was inside. And today is again bright and sunny...

S8 is having his party with friends thing today, bowling! Feel disappointed that I am never invited to those, but they are really just for kids, not even S5 gets to go along. I'm sure they will have a great time, S8 has a wonderful sense of spirit when he isn't in a funk. Guess you have to pack some brass ones if you are 2 years younger than your classmates!

Did I mention that S8 was really happy with his Pokemon & Puzzle Quest?? Can't get him away from my PSP, truly a great game for him *8) We have plans to make his Technorobot kit this weekend too, I'm sure both kids will want to be involved, should be fun.

Wonder if W will cancel her saturday stayover again now that she is starting her job on tuesday? Something tells me that it will go ahead this time, good for peace and quiet, bad for me sleeping easily, maybe I'll take one of my last remaining sleeping tablets.
