Plodding towards my Path With Heart

[SuperDad]

Hi FL and AG,
FL, I think you missed the point that we are still all living in the same house, just with W in the guest room. Maybe worse than being completely separated in some ways, but definitely better in that I get to see the kids all the time. Alas, this will change with the Big D.

RE: working out being a shield against the craziness. S9 was in a mood tonight and started in about how I spend too much time working out and not enough with him. Funny, but we humans are all alike, when we don't get what we want, we will try just about anything to change the sitch! Did I mention that he has been a teenager since he was 4?

AG,
You will be able to do much better than me, maybe someone who is actually single for starters!

Thanks for asking about the race. I did fairly well. I did about the same time as last race, but the humidity was awful, so I actually placed better this time as most people had a slower time. Can't wait for the humidity to lift in the Fall so I can start to really move!

On other fronts, I am sending the paperwork back to the L tomorrow. I also had a chat with my dad while on vacation and decided to let W know before I file. That way she is at least prepared when she gets the notice. Hopefully also she will agree to talk to the kids together and not be a complete B!tch, but we all know I can't control her, just lil' ol' me.

Been re-reading some of my books on kids and D and am not sure exactly how to go about this. I think the best would be to have a family meeting will all 4 of us and discuss everything. Of course, since I have no idea how W will react, if isn't so easy to prepare right now.

I am thinking about scheduling a meeting with my IC, who I haven't seen in 9 months, to discuss with him. Any better ideas?
