Thanks guys - well, I am getting there I think.

I did talk to her today that we needed to seperate mode, and she should take the kids to her apartment after school, and she said she was planning to do that anyway. She knew I was annoyed with her this morning, and said that she knew she needed to respect my space. But - get this - she said instead of me dropping them off with her in the morning, they should take the bus to school.

This is what gets me - we're talking about 50/50 custody, and I'm PAYING her for that - and she has the gall to say that I've got them during the easy part, when they're sleeping, while she basically picks them up from school and I get them at 6:00 pm.

I didn't say that though, plenty of ammo on both sides if we get to fighting about it. Won't do anybody any good.

Anyway, the boys freaked out when they heard her mention the bus, and we agreed she's keep coming to the house in the morning for the time being.

I came home to - get this - dirty breakfast dishes on the table, stains on the new tablecloth I'd bought. Nice. Now, again, I know it's my boys making the messes, fair enough, but she would have never let them get away with that before.

Yeah, annoyed and disappointed.

Anyway, we did talk that we need to make some time to go over the papers and submit move forward. I think we're agreed on that right now.

I feel I'm adjusting to this being my family now. Think I'm doing pretty good as a single parent.

Thanks for the responses guys -
