Hi DC, It sounds like you are doing well. Im sorry to hear that S8 is sick. Does it matter that she is not willing to bend at all here? I wish you the best for the upcoming trial.
Keep us posted!
I guess I gave the wrong finger to the wrong man...

I will definitely use it for trial. I had a good time with D1 Saturday. We watched football all day pretty much. Alabama/North Texas, Florida/Tennessee, Arkansas/Georgia, Auburn/West Virginia, USC/Washington, Texas/Texas Tech. Heck of a day for football.
I had a friend sit with the boys while I picked up D1. Short/sweet pickup/handoff and I didn't say much to them. W was about to go nuts Friday night when I told her I wasn't going to agree with what her lawyer proposed in terms of cutting up my time with D1. She didn't like the fact that she can't tell me no when it comes to Saturday.
D1's age will be much less of a factor at the next trial date, so I'm sure there is a reason behind the postponement. I'm not worried or anything. If anything - I've got a lot more on W than she has on me that actually affects custody. I have a knack for understanding how these things work and making W's line of attack benefit me.
All in all... D1 had a great time. This morning I went to see her at the daycare and she had loaded up her diaper for me. I changed her and held her for a little while. She was happy to see me. W/MIL were in butt-kiss mode after their lawyer told them whatever Friday night, so they go from extreme to extreme. They push me and push me and push me - and when I push back they fall all over themselves to be nice.
I don't understand it. What I do understand is that I'm in a better place emotionally, I'm detached completely from W, and I am going to start GAL and doing things to drive her nuts just because. Ironically I'm expecting her to start making moves back towards the M later this year... but I'm no longer interested in that. Not after everything she has put me and the kids through.

D1 was doing well this morning. She was eating cinnamon toast. She had apparently tried to bite another child, testing out her full set of teeth she has now.
She got me to pick her up and play with her for about 30 minutes. When I finally had to leave she threw a fit and cried after me. It is sad to leave when she is like that, but all the same I'm glad that she loves me. I hope she understands how much I love her.
I haven't seen W lately. We sort of sparred Friday night and since then she has kept a lower profile.
Her lawyer is trying to get her cell phone records excluded from evidence because they back up my story about the affair and contradict testimony she gave during her deposition. Her lawyer sucks at making arguments though. She is arguing that this is FIL's phone and that it isn't part of the D - but FIL is deceased and isn't making calls to anyone. It is just a "family plan" that is still in his name.

If they have a contest for "lamest legal arguments ever" I think that one would win!!!
Just focusing on work lately. Have been on a handful of dates, but have been focusing on taking the kids to things like "Where the Wild Things Are" and to a Japanese restaurant tonight.
Being football season... I generally spend time watching that since my team is one of the two that is ranked #1 right now.
