I've decided I want to get the separation agreement done. This year if at all possible. I'll scrape up the money for my half of the cost, and if you can't afford your half right now, I'll cover that too and you can pay me back.
I'll send a note to the mediator to find a time that works for all of us.

I followed it up with a message to the mediator cc'd to my W asking for an appointment to finish up our agreement.
Then I followed that up with another message to my W indicating I would be taking the kids on my own for Thanksgiving, and she could pick them up Friday morning.
Sure enough, within a half hour of sending the messages, my cell phone rang. I didn't answer it. She left a message. She had her hurt puppy act going, like I just kicked her while she was down. She asked "Why do you all of a sudden want to get this done before the end of the year? I have no emotional energy left to deal with this. The earliest I'll can possibly do mediation is January. We can talk if you want to. Give me a call." I didn't call.
Later in the evening I needed to ask her when our youngest daughter's gymnastics class is in the morning, so I sent her a text simply asking when the class was. She ignored my request. So now in the morning I'll have to call the gymnastics school and ask them when my own daughter's class is so I can go watch her.
Is this going to get ugly now? Any ideas on what I should expect?
