Pretty darn good! Had a wonderful time with the kids this weekend. We had a Christmas theme. Went to a Christmas art workshop where D10 and I made Christmas ornaments and jewelry. Very fun. Then after church today, finally put up the tree and ornaments. We made sugar cookies for christmas, frosting, and colored icing, and they tasted really good for not having any chocolate in them!
Had a horrible fog tonight. I tried to drop the kids off, but just couldn't see to drive. I've never had a major problem like that, but I thought it wasn't safe enough for me to drive in with the kids. Called up X and told him and he said I'm 15 minutes away and it's just fine here. Told him he could either pick them up at my place tonight or I would drop them off at school tomorrow am. So he decided to pick them up. I'm sure I'll be getting a nasty email from him sometime tonight.
I've decided if he's nasty to me on the phone or email I will either end the call or stop reading his emails. I've had enough of that stuff.
Also D10 told me she has another book report due soon (so project info was prob. sent out a month ago or more). I'll confirm with the teacher and then email my L. I said in the hearing when X's L asked that I was getting info, but apparently that's not the case.
Terrible fog here tonight too. I went into the grocery and there was still daylight. When I came out an hour later there was no more light and it was so thick you couldn't see more than 20 feet ahead. I was scared I would hit a deer all the way home.
Glad you didn't take the chance. Your x won't think that way, but then again he doesn't think very clearly does he? I think he'd actually want you to take a risk with his children's lives just to not inconvenience him!

D10's teacher emailed me--she isn't giving a book report until after the fcat testing. So, whew! Sad that my D10 is so worried about stuff like that; I think last time we found out late and then had to rush it, traumatized her a bit.
I did do the right thing; would have driven without the kids maybe, but not going to risk it with them, and there are a lot of deer and wild animals around where I live too, and I have a teeny little Honda.
Dday, I'm not worried about xh getting a kick in the dark side. I'm guessing the OW and the way he's living his life lately will take care of that....
Friday. Starting to get nervous. I would like to do a lot of errands this week, car tag, car maintenance stuff, shop for work clothes, etc. X had switched the ordered biweekly child support/alimony checks to the 1st and 15th of the month a year or so ago, and every time threatens to change it back, like this week not give it to me until this Friday, after I have told him of my need for the check this week. I'm not supposed to take off the first 2 or 3 months of training, and even after that don't want to take much time off as I'm probationary the first year. You would think he'd try to be supportive of this as he will be getting much lowered child support and alimony. He's such a (insert most evil word you can think of here).
Since he agreed to not pick up the kids tonight (he's going to have them Thursday night b/c S16 has a late final Friday), he said he was intending to give me tonight. I have to pick it up tomorrow am at his apt. or he says he will mail it (the check he supposedly mailed 2 weeks ago has never come in). I forwarded the email to my L and asked her to make sure that after the D, his wages are garnished, so less to have to deal with the flake....
He actually dropped it off a couple days late when I emailed him it hadn't come in. First he sent a nasty email saying tough cookies, but then the next day he did drop it off to me when I was dropping D10 off at school. It was just prior to the hearing and his L made a point of asking me if I've always received them as a question to me, so maybe X realized I would have said no, I haven't.
I emailed since the last check never did come in the mail, I would meet him tomorrow am. He emailed back ok, but having one mail go missing shouldn't make me give up on the postal system. What makes him think it's the postal system I don't trust???? I think wage garnishment will be a lifesaver in the future. One more month, one more month....
I realized today he's become one of the nastiest people I've ever met. So makes divorce a lot less painless probably. That and the OW. She's got such a prize....
If anyone got an email from me (my email addy) at around 5pm today; it's some kind of spam message I didn't send. I wasn't home, and no one else was either, but my sent box of emails shows a spam letter sent from my email to a lot of people. Is this a virus or what do I do??
