Six months later--the truth is out there

Puppy--

It does seem weird that states are all so different. Indiana is also a no-fault state, and adultery is irrelevant. In fact, we aren't even allowed to mention OW's name in court. There is no "spousal support" automatic rules, however. Which means I could be left hanging by a thread in spite of being the primary breadwinner in the early days of the marriage, when H was getting the education he needed to earn the salary he now earns. Child support is essentially a formula based upon discrepancy in salaries and number of overnight visits by the child.

D has been late some with me driving her. However, it's not so much because we dawdle. She gets there in time. But I think she's disorganized and still adjusting to moving between classrooms with different sets of books and materials, and takes more time than the average kid to get herself organized in the morning. I can't help with that part, except maybe by discussing how she organizes herself at her locker each morning. But if it's such a problem--why not assign her a mentor?

How can they mark him late if he can't get out of his car and you're stuck in a long line of cars? So everyone gets there at about the same time--seems it ought to be like the drive-up line at the bank. If you're in line at the critical moment, you're still able to perform your transaction!!

You know, I get us up earlier and earlier. I usually don't wear makeup so I can get out the door, and my hair is about as short as it can get to be low-maintenance. I lay everything out the night before, we check for keys, phone, homework, signed papers the night before. I'm wide open to other suggestions; neither of us wakes up completely until at least 9 am!
