W left petition papers for me this morning (as apposed to having me served which I thanked her for). The D train is back on track! She asked me late last night if I wanted them then, and I told her the morning would be better. I fought the urge to start talking to her (reflecting) about the whole sitch last night while we were laying in bed.

I called my L for her to review, but she is out of the office today through the 25th. W was not too pleased but I told her I didn't want to drag this out for her, but didn't want to quickly sign off on this without my L looking at. Besides, there were a couple of things in there that even I thought were questionable.

We talked a couple of times on the topic today and realized that we need to start discussing the split of things and to refi the house. Agreed that we need to start making time for these talks.

On a strange note, we even talked about Spring Break and whether we wanted to take the kids to Florida to visit parents (both sides) as we've done for years. We agreed, for now, that it might be a good idea for a get-away before we talk to the kids. And also to show them that we still get along with each other. She did say she was concerned on how I would take it. I told her that there was not a chance that I would think a trip with the kids, at this point, would serve to re-kindle anything between us (and I wasn't just saying that for her).
