Mountainman-finally moved to surviving!

Journal, had a great weekend. Stayed at the firehouse Friday night and spent pretty much the whole weekend there. Not very busy, but got a lot of reading and schoolwork done. Sat night was out with friends and had a great time having drinks, flirting, etc. Spent the night at a friends house. W had the kids and had a good time with them. Kids were asking for me a lot and STBXW explained to them that sometimes mommy does things with them without daddy there and daddy does things with them without mommy there, but we both love them very much even when we are not there. I reinforced this last night when I came home. They seem to understand and will set us up nicely for the move out talk that we will be having after christmas. Last night, played poker with the guys at the firehouse and won $25! pretty much paid for my weekend, I am very low maintenance.
Got the formal mediation agreement in the mail, now looking for an independent lawyer to review it.
Signed the lease on the house on Sat. I start moving in week of xmas but dont start staying there until jan1. they are leaving a lot of furniture there for me to use, so it looks like i will have almost everything i need to set up a new household. yay! will need the money anyway.
Working all week with no plans at night. might go out thursday night late after W gets back from party. off friday, will spend it packing then heading to my parents beachhouse with the kids for the weekend. looking forward to getting away from it all.

All for now!
