OK this is the email I'm wanting to send H today. Do you think this is cool or need any changes? \:\) H emailed me my L gave him an estimate for putting in a new heater as $5600! So he emailed this and then this is my email I was thinking about sending. I'm going to leave time to cool off before I send it and wondered if any of you might have suggestions. I'm thinking you might--not my usual sweet, joky email!!!

H's email: 5,600! Theres no way. you guys can move to an appartment in tall i will stay in the house with the current heater if its too cold.

Here's my email which I haven't sent. I have to go get D8 at girl scouts and make dinner so I wouldn't send it until late tonight probably or tomorrow am:

I can check into electric heaters also. Those are supposed to be cheaper in cost and installation. One problem with moving is that eventually if/when we want to sell the house, you probably have to fix something like that anyway before selling it or a broken heater would turn off most people buying a house.

Also, If the kids and I move, we won't be moving to an apartment or Tallahassee though as that's way more expensive than my town and I love it here and the kids and I have our friends here. \:\) That might be an idea about you living in the house, if I have to rent then you living in the house if I don't have enough money. I do think one of us should live in the house for a while at least until the market is better because I think it would either not sell or at a loss with current low house prices (once you figure in closing costs and realtor commissions and stuff) like we need more debts!!! And I'm sure the kids would love you living in the same town!!! \:\)

My main goal is the kids and trying to keep as little change as possible as I've read you should do in divorce and as D8's psych recommended to us with autistic kids. So thus I'm trying to keep in the house and homeschooling and living in the same town, etc. Plus my town is way cheaper than Tallahassee of course.

Your lawyer emailed my lawyer apparently today asking about when I would be getting a job. Why does he waste time and your money doing that? You should tell him you are keeping an eye on that and I've been emailing you regularly about my job search, applications, interviews, etc. As you know I've applied to many jobs and doing my best. I guess he doesn't know me and/or you haven't told him about my frequent updates to you and/or maybe he's just a jerk???

When I was in the grocery store this afternoon, the lady from the Art Center called about the temporary job. She said it would probably last a few months (they don't know for sure the guy is in intensive care and then will need help after they said) and she asked me to call her about it. I called her back and got her voice mail, but hoping to get an interview and/or get the job tomorrow. Maybe if the girl is in Jacksonville for a while or whatever, she won't even want the job so it's in the back of my mind there's maybe a small chance it could become permanent but at the very least would be current job experience on my resume.

One problem I see is that every week I have mediation or divorce hearing or psych appt. for Jamie or the kids dr. appts. and other stuff. Hopefully she will be a little flex with hours, I feel awkward asking about that, but guess I have to. I think I have to attend stuff like the mediation and divorce hearing. And if we have to move that would require a lot of time and money to do that too!!! \:\(

If you and your lawyer are greatly concerned about my getting a part-time job fast enough, your schedule is less busy than mine probably less hours than ours now with homeschooling, daily activities, therapy, and am looking into the kids getting OT which would also take probably weekly or twice-weekly appts. for a few months(the therapist thinks S14 needs it and maybe D8) etc, you could also look into getting a part-time job yourself. As a lawyer with recent and current experience, think you should be able to get something and a lot faster than me with a huge gap on my resume, and better paying too!!! \:\) But I would never harass you about that or put my lawyer on that of course!!! \:\)
