Hello all.

Its been a crazy couple of weeks. Will try to catch you up.

I have been dating someone. We are taking it slow. He's great. I told xH about him per our agreement (to notify the other if someone new is around the girls), and the next day, xH lost it with me. Basically called me a whore, and a bad judge of people, refused to watch the girls all week while I worked and sent me "F you" texts on and off. He is a super big mess and I am wading through the muck as best I can. I found a sitter for the girls, told him he isn't welcome at the house if he can't respect me.

He is taking them for their first overnight tonight and tomorrow. The girls were nervous but excited. I am happy he still wants to see them, but yesterday D4 said "Mommy, Daddy says if you talk bad about him, he'll put you in jail.". Yup. And that's the tip of the iceberg I am sure. I am in shock that he has flipped overnight. I am notifying an attorney in case he tries for something crazy like full custody, and seeking a play therapist for the girls.

Here's the deal, I was ready for a change with xH. I didn't want him at the house as much, wanted him to have a place of his own to have the girls to himself. But for him to do this 24 hours after the news that I was dating someone? He hasn't healed or changed at all. He has misguided anger and needs help. He won't get it. I will continue on the high road.

Enough about that.

I got a promotion at work and a day job. Its going to be a great job, and I will love it, once I figure out how to smuggle my girls into my new office for a few weeks until I can figure out where they can go while I work. ;\) They would love it. My boss? Not so much.

All in all, the girls are so wonderful. They are excited for the summer, are ready for the change and some fun. Me too!
