Hey all,

It's been a while since my last post. I can't even find my last thread.

Life has been busy for me lately. School takes up a lot of my time, well that and facebook! ;\)

Anyway, my parent's finally sold their second home after 3 years of it being on the market. So, they are now in a position to help me out on my end. (Like they haven't done enough, )

My house still hasn't sold and our contract with the agency we were listed with is over. So, with the timing of my parents selling the house and ex willing to take a low offer for the house, we may buy him out so I can stay in my home for at least another 4 years (until I graduate and get a job).

However, ex is ... well you know what he is. So...of course he is being impatient.

He was all for it when I brought the idea up to him and he said "Oh, it will be the best for the kids...this is a great idea!).

That was last week. He wants an offer already and is pushing us to give it to him. I told him we needed time to look into our different options and we will have an offer for him next week.

Well that is not good enough for him.

He's a pain in the arse.

He always has to add stress.

Nothing can be simple when dealing with him.

I just need him to give us another week. We are having an appraiser come in on Tuesday because my lawyer recommended we do this to make sure we are putting in an offer that will benefit us. My lawyer doesn't want ex to know about it though.

I told ex that my parents will not be pushed into making an offer when they are putting a lot of their money at stake.

He is just going to have to wait.

On another note, he brought back the kids tonight. I haven't seem them since Monday. I missed them. Back to school tomorrow for them. I did ask them if there Dad took off work for the week and the oldest said "No, Stephanie watched us." Blah...makes me a little annoyed that I have to give my kids up for the week so she can have them. But not much I can do about it. Like the rest of this, it is what it is. I can't sit back and dwell on all of it or else I will just lead a bitter life. Don't want that.

Oh, and I gave the boys some ice cream when they came home and S8 said "Thanks Mommy. You are the best mom in the whole world. I love you!" Stephanie can try, but she won't replace me.

Classes are going ok for me. I have another 3 weeks and then I am done for the semester. I have an appointment with a private college on Tuesday, I am hoping to transfer there from the community college I am currently going to.

Wish me luck, I could use some!
