Cool! I'll meet you there. It's like you know when I have a tough day! Which I did!

First of all, I had emailed H yesterday. I'm set to have the kids Thurs afternoon to Sunday night. And emailed him about the holiday Monday if he wanted to spend it with them. Is anyone surprised he wanted to pick them up at 5pm Monday when I offered he have them Sunday night on? And the only reason he wants 5 pm is I think b/c he has a spreadsheet somewhere and he wants credit for an overnight. sick Then he emails me as if he's going to have them until Thursday or something. Until this past week, he was just having Wed. night and every other weekend. Now he wants to double his time with them, with the divorce hearing coming up. Touching.

I'm going to stand firm though that I'm going to pick D9 up Tuesday and take her to the after-school program I volunteer at the church. Would be stupid for her to sit at his apt. supervised by S15 for several hours when she could be doing fun and being social like he always says is so important. I'm dreading the fights we'll be having the next few months. I just like to get along and not fight so I really married the wrong guy even if it wasn't for the cheating and lying and stuff.

I can't WAIT for the D to be over. I think no matter how it gets settled then H won't be trying to act like the concerned parent. So many people have told me (including their therapist) that he's going to slowly disappear from their life after the D. I expect that too.

I did go to the church today. They're always there, someone is, and today no one was. They didn't answer the locked door. You beep and then have to get buzzed in. I'll call tomorrow am though. It may have been a good thing b/c I was in a bad and shaky mood today, also because...

I talked to the guidance counselor at D9's school today. I wanted to find out details on a staff meeting they had re: D9 on Monday (which she attended). She told me they are going to do some "interventions" & I would have to contact D9's teacher to find out what they were. So I'll do that tomorrow.

I asked the GC if when D9's insurance runs out for Speech and OT if she can get it through the schools. She said well if she gets into ESE, and then asked me if she's ever been diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Apparently diagnosed learning disabilities and autism isn't enough to qualify. She said her testing scores would have qualified her last year, but they don't use them anymore. Does this sound like violating Federal law or what? Now I remember why I pulled out S15 when he was in school!!!
