Plodding towards my Path With Heart

[SuperDad]

Journaling:
Yesterday was a great dad and kids day, went to IHOP for breakfast and then to the beach for the day. Just a perfect day. Was really nice before they left today for vacation with W and her family.

I did my tri this morning and hit my target time, so that was nice. Got 4th place, 1 off the awards, so that gives me a target for the next one in August. Also got in a yoga session afterwards and then a nap...did I mention that I dropped kids and W off at the airport this morning!

I am really looking forward to 10 days of peace and quiet before I get the kids for the 2nd half of their vacation. Should be a blast, 5 days in TX and 4 in CO.

I am starting to wonder what is up with the L, they are drafting two docs.,

1) a letter to W notifying her that I have retained L and that if she is willing to negotiate/go to mediation, now is the time

and

2) the actual filing for the court.

Plan is to notify W and then, if she is still unwilling to negotiate, file immediately. Seems reasonable enough and this way we are prepared for the next step(s) from the get go.

I've been looking around for townhouses, seems like there is quite a bit in the area, but not so much to rent, which I am leaning towards, should I not end up with the house. Also are some appartments nearby should I need something in a pinch, but I am really opposed to moving out of the house before D is final, since I would be responsible for the house as well.

So that's about it, just another week in paradise!
