Last week was a great week. Spending thanksgiving away was just what the doctor ordered. My sons and I had a great time, played golf, caught bass and enjoyed time with my parents. Of course, all good things must come to an end as did our time away.

Upon returning I was hit with the reality of the situation and a lack of a divorce filing from the WAS. Tired of letting this sit, I decided last night to file myself. Paperwork is done and signed, tomorrow i will bring it to the courthouse myself. I realize that may be a bit challenging, but I believe it is the right thing todo.

I experienced a range of emotions today as I dealt with the lawyers on my side. There was sadness and pain, anger and then numbness. But, in the end, I realized that the WAS has given me no choice. Limboland sucks. Her actions suck. I deserve better, my kids deserve better. We are going to have BETTER.

Tonight we all (including WAS.....) decorated the family Chistmas tree. Perhaps this was the toughest thing to handle. I did this for the children, it was important to them. It is the last time as a family with the WAS. Of course, I will continue with the kids next year.

But I made it through.

All other issues have been handled. Soon, negotions begin and she will be on her own. Most importantly, I am ready to move on with my life.
