Episode IV: A New Hope (?)

"Gemini (May 21-June 21): 5. You may not feel like doing much of anything. You can sit back and watch and listen for a while."

Ever so true. Felt like junk all weekend. Still do, but now it's mostly due to extremely greesy pizza last night and perhaps a few too many celebratory brews after bowling.

Saturday with boys was good. We finished the day off by going to a movie and were running close on time for getting them back to STBX, so I called her and she said it's fine and to drop them off at "her" house. I did, and as I've done in the past few insances, I parked down the street a ways as a precaution. S12 wanted me to install a holder for his bike lock we picked up earlier in the day and I did. STBX came out and attempted small talk. However after taking one look at the way she was dressed, I opted to not make as much eye contact as possible.

Earlier in the day, S10 brought up the conversation about not wanting to have chose between us on who to live with. And as always, I told him, I know it's hard, but after Tuesday's (tomorrow's) court date, you guys should have your attorney to speak for you and evaluate who can provide the optimal up-bringing for you after the divorce is done. He continually asked for a specific date of when the divaorce would be done. I just told him it could all be over with on Tuesday if we could all get along, but so long as mom thinks you hsould be with her, and I think you should be with me, nobody knows when it will be over.

Anyway, S10 was showing me his bike he wants to tear apart and have me paint for him. When he took the bike back in the yard he was checking out a skateboard ramp STBX had picked upfor him at a garage sale, and OM was sitting there in the yard, barking at him not to jump on it, I left it at that an dstarted to leave. Then STBX appearreed from around the corner of the block, not sure where she went. However, her father took off from that direction earlier as well, weird.

The front yeard was pathetic, looked like snow was in the grass, but it was a 70 degree day, closer review revealed nothing but cigarette butts everywhere.
