Well he has responded to my last couple of emails now; within 24 hours; I guess I'm ok with that. In the past it might have been a couple of days to reply, which since D10 says he's on the iphone all the time is annoying!

Been busy doing stage crew for the play. Totally fun, most of the cast and crew are old friends; almost family. One more play this afternoon and then I get 3 days off, so I can catch up on laundry and chores and all that stuff.

I dropped off the kids yesterday at noon. X and OW were there to pick them up. I looked over at her (haven't seen her in almost 3 years). At first, I really thought it was his mom, like is his mom in town and then realized, no just OW looking 10 years older than she did when I last saw her. She looks just like his mom. Short, short hair, flat-chested, my total opposite...She looks seriously 10 or more years older than me. Guess all the marriages (3 so far), and troubled kids and step-kids age ya. I think it was only a month or 2 ago, I was angry when OW and he showed up to pick up the kids, but I pretty much felt nothing like that yesterday. Maybe sorry for the kids a bit.

I got an email forwarded by my L Thursday. I'm guessing she emailed about his doing the garnishment order for child support/custody. He emailed her he isn't going to work on the case anymore b/c of a sizeable outstanding issue from X that isn't going to be resolved. I'm thinking that he's got a huge legal fee he can't pay now. So he withdraw and X is now representing himself. I'm just hoping he does the order and it's over. Makes me a little nervous. He did give me the check yesterday; so hopefully it'll all work out.

I realized after I dropped off the kids yesterday, went and did some makeup shopping which I never would have done pre-D, I'm happy. I kind of knew I'd be better off without X, but I really really am. He seems so self-destructive now, prob. better to be out of that...

Hope everyone's having a great weekend! smile
