Hi Snodderly,

So good to see you post. Check back on July 7, (Thursday) because you'll see I've been back to the doctors AND have also checked back into to counseling, which so far the counselor tends to think I'm doing okay, however, feeling overwhelmed.

I think the sleeping arrangements will help me in court, since J's kids will still be in their home when we go to hearing. I think we are going to push the fact the children are old enough to make the decisions on their own, in four months S will be old enough to vote and also join the military, why shouldn't he be old enough now to choose which parent and where he wants to live now. D is mature enough to protect and save others (CPR, Lifeguard, etc) and worked during the summer (what is considered full time) she's National Honor Society, she too should be old enough to make the decision where she wants to live too.

Dick has begun his pre-hearing buy off, S now owns 2 new pairs of shoes, a couple of hoodies, new jeans, and an IPod touch, I haven't heard what D has been awarded, however, there is talk of a new car for her, along with looking at a truck for S. S says I've been here for 3 months and it seems funny it's all coming now... his way of telling me he sees what is going on.

All we can do now is pray.....
