MC, hi, haven't checked in for awhile, sorry. But I loved your observation about spending family time with no distractions, that is so KEY. What a great way to bond. I have to remember that one!
PM, I'm glad you liked that!!
Not much going on; the W took the kids for the weekend. This is the first time since she left in Sept 08 that she's taken the kids for a WHOLE weekend. Last night she asked if she could come over after we get home so that she could see the kids and help clean my house. She asked if I would accept her help. She's offered this before; but never shown. We'll see if it happens.
Right now, I'm planning on giving her a settlement proposal in the very near future. After that, I'll file my BK. I decided to go this route as my vacant house in OH is due for the sheriff's sale on Wed. Kinda late to save it; not that I wanted it anyway.
