Hi WMP, thx for looking in on me...

I took ballet for 8 years and remember my first Nut Cracker Performance! ur little girl must be so excited! Im excited for her!

I dont have any children so really cant offer any thoughts on the gas money issue, maybe someone with kids can give you some insight on that one. I do remember my own parent tossing me back and forth on gas money tho....cant remember them getting actually mad about it.

I agree on the bankruptcy issue, file for that before you file for a divorce if you decide to file at all.

Yes, you should have discussed plans for the holidays with her. Whats done is done and just go from here. Making sugar cane syrup sounds like a blast tho. I wouldnt want to miss that either.

I dont really have much advice for you, ur sitch is so much different from mine. Wanted to offer my support tho. and ummm really work on separating ur paragraphs. It REALLY is hard to read BUT its sooo much better than ur first couple of posts =)
