I had no idea it had been that long since I posted. I've been reading along (aka lurking) but haven't felt much like posting... I knew it had been a while but November? Wow, much longer than I thought!
Anyway, we have a buyer for the house... we'll know for sure if it's sold Monday at 8pm... so please keep your fingers crossed! Then the goal is to find a place for D3 and I.. closer to my work. It will make my life so much easier and my work will be happy too since I'll be more accepting of additional hours. The condo we bought is still scheduled for occupancy in Dec 2009.. although their website says spring 2010.. but until I hear official word from them (through registered mail) I'll go on with the belief that Dec 2009 it is!
The family that have almost bought the house are very nice. It's their first home... and due to the market I think they got a really good price for it. We made some decent money on it but if I had agreed to sell back when the bomb happened we likely would have gotten more. I wasn't ready though at the time.. so I'm looking at it as it all happened as it was intended.
Everything is the same with H. Although it does seem like he's making more of an effort to spend time with D3 and I. It's nice.. and of course I still love him.. but I know that I can get by without him.. (although not financially at the moment.. hopefully I'll get a raise when I'm able to give them more of a full time schedule). It makes me feel better about myself. And when I'm completely self reliant I'm sure I'll feel like a million dollars.
D3 is still extremely clingy with her Dad.. she whines a lot when he's around! I understand why she does it and how she's feeling. Poor thing! I show her and tell her all the time how much I love her.. and I regularly remind her how much her Dad does too. That's about all I can do though.
So at this moment in time.. change is coming.. and although I'm a little frightened and a little overwhelmed at everything that needs to be done (close on the house, find D3 a new daycare, register her to start school in September, find an apartment/condo to move in to for April 1st, start working full time) it's kind of exciting at the same time.
I've been reading how all of you are doing.. and you have all grown and gotten so much stronger through this process. DBing truly is an amazing thing. It gives us our self respect and this website has allowed me (us) an opportunity to "meet" fantastic people from all over the world!!
So that's about it from my little piece of Canada!
