I am sorry. Why has moving got pushed up? I know you have been packing. Just wondering if you received some sort of notice or something. I have been so tired today. The stress has hit its limit and finally get to stop for the rest of the weekend(though I have lots to do)! I will try to catch up more tomorrow.

I just would like to be out way before the Sheriff shows up on the door or whatever. It's just hitting me. I'm hoping to have enough $$ to put money down and start moving this next weekend. Have to find a place first.
Got some more leads on jobs at church today. One caterer might be looking for weekend help which would be great for me, and great experience of course, and a vet's office (one of the vets goes to our church) is hiring for part-time kennel help also and I love animals and could prob. learn a lot from that job too if I could get it. I just wish life was a little more stable for me, but I guess I'm in an adventure phase! Karen
H emailed today. Wants to keep the kids overnight one night this week. I have a full schedule of appts. with them every am, so he is going to take them Wed. night and drop them off at their therapist Thurs. at 11. I told him that would work out fine b/c I have plans Wednesday (it's the annual Ladies night at the church and the guys cook and wait on the women for a change--the pastor got me to promise to go b/c I don't know about that.)
Hopefully they won't have to be at his apt. or OW's too much by themselves. I felt yukky about this at first, but glad he's making an effort. He's prob. about to file for mediation would be my guess and wants to get in some extra visitation crammed in before that! I'll be glad when this is all over; I really do think. Karen
Busy day today. Talked to my L. H's L set up the kids for evaluation of their academics. I'm going to pick that up tomorrow. She also wants me to print out the 2 emails where H was saying I need to move to his town if I want mediation to work out well for me. She said it's intimidating or threatening or something, and I'm just so used to that from him. I was just planning on ignoring it, but if it can help me and the kids, why not?
H is still 100% wanting the kids in public school, well at least D9 I think. She is less autistic than S15. I'm trying for hsing, but if that doesn't work out, I think D9 could attend a private school in our town where she has lots of friends. They love her and help her out whenever they can, and would probably do that at school with her also. And the class sizes are around 10 instead of the 30 in public school here. If the judge insists on public school, then my 3rd option would be public charter school for autism kids in South Florida which would probably be good (only 3 kids per teacher and they have several teachers and aides in each classroom) if we have to do that. I have learned not to plan more than about a week ahead at this point, instead of the 5 year plans I used to have.
The animal hospital called today and I have an interview Thursday!!! Apparently, it sounds like M-F from 2 to 5 or 5:30 and every other weekend and that would be about 6 to 8 hours on those weekends. And I'd try to get H to watch the kids on those weekends. So it sounds great. So cross your fingers or pray or think good thoughts for me Thursday (at 2:30). I just saw one of the dads at the afterschool thing today and he had been to 6 or 7 job sites he said looking for work and no luck. It's not easy to find jobs now I guess!!! Karen
So D9 made a card for her dad tonight: It says: A dad lived with a girl and brother. The girl's name was (D9). The brother was (S15). The dad loved his family even his wife deep down.
