Well, nice day in church & Sunday school this am. Really nice people there and the volunteer work I've done I think makes you get closer to people too. I'm going to try to do as much volunteer work as I can fit into my life, esp. the next few months I think.
I was talking to the Pastor's wife and she said when she first got to know me she couldn't believe how non-assertive I was (yeah a total wimp), but basically sounded like she thinks I've made great progress so that was good to hear.
H apparently didn't read my email (he has some kind of problem reading them on his blackberry so needs a computer to read them and doesn't have one on the weekends or something like that). So I was in my room, D9 comes in which I'm fine with, and then H comes to the door (didn't come in but stood outside my door) asking about Tuesday's eval and that he wants to pick up the kids that am sounding like he basically didn't trust me to do so. He said sometimes I don't show up or something, and then it's hard to reschedule??? WTH?? I don't recall that I have ever cancelled an appt. for me or the kids in the last 20 years, maybe one time if I was sick with the flu or something but I don't even think that. It's like he's invented me or made up that I'm some different kind of person than I am or something. That whole my W must be a villain or what kind of guy would leave her for a ho or something like that???
OK, I really hate talking to him and don't enjoy it at all, but he basically tracks me down to do that. I've asked him before to please email as I prefer that (plus if I can remember to save my emails then I can have a record when he starts making up stuff or having faulty memory. Should I just remind him about that one more time or let it slide or what do you think I should do about that? You would think an email saying Please email me when you need to communicate would be easy to understand but apparently not!!!
I told him the same stuff in the email I sent yesterday that I see my L tomorrow and will see if she is agreeable to the eval or not. Didn't go into the driving thing and ignored that comment.
He lectured me a little bit about S15 and his problems washing his hair and wearing socks (he has weird little sensory-stuff related to his autism) and I said yeah, he does all that. Just agreed with him so no fight like he was probably hoping for.
Ok, I've been eating like a pig since Thursday!!! I think the stress really kicked in yesterday over the first hearing we have Wed. re: temporary custody, alimony, and child support. And going to court which I've never done. I'm hoping H is stressed out as I am but as an L I wouldn't think so. I did exercise today but blew that by making chocolate chip cookies for the kids tonight (I ate a good share of them too)! Karen
