I'm going to try and focus on the positive side of the house being sold rather than the negative side. I'll have a nice chunk of money to work with and in a year of so if the market has bottomed out I might seriously consider purchasing again. I'll be sure to have a spot to belly up to.
I trying not let bitterness dictate my moves and mood it's not healthy and only makes matters worse. Easier said than done however.
I took a little swipe at the X in an email exchange late last week, nothing to harsh but a little poke none the less. I said that I thought she had picked off all the items from house she wanted on her many sorties to over while I worked.
She didn't like that. Oh well.
I've been utterly pathetic with the GALing over the last several months and it shows in my attitude. I've got to get that part of my game going again.
At least the football season kicked off last night and that will add some enjoyment to my life.
Talk to you soon.

What was his signing bonus? Was is it as ridiculous as Jamarcus Russell's?
It is going to be 100 here today. Very cool summer up until the last few days which is cool with me.
Looks like I have a done deal on the sale of my house. Still haven't found where I will be living next. A little yard would be great my son just loves to play in the yard at the house. Hitting golf balls and riding his bike etc etc. I don't want him to miss out. Might not happen though.

I think he received a 50 mil bonus...he should be able to scrape by now.
Congrads on the sale of the house, especially in the current housing market.
Been watching the kids while the ex is on her honeymoon...bet my savings she comes back pregnant. She has turned into a real joke. She asked me last Saturday if I could watch the kids for a few hours so she could get ready for the wedding, she has no shame.
50 million to play football or any sport for that matter is just crazy. The economics are apparently there to justify these outrageous salaries.
Yeah I think I got lucky on the home sale. I had to play hardball with the buyers to get it wrapped up. My agent was/is a jelly fish, wanted to concede on every buyer request. I said no on most of them, it was obvious to me they loved the place and wanted it. We hit a stalemate and I called my broker last Sat. and told him the buyer had til Noon to make a decision or the deal is off and was deadly serious. The buyer is an attorney and shockingly a pain in the ass. He called me a half hour later and they agreed to terms.
Bittersweet development, I loved that house and put a lot into it financially and was attached to it. Thought I would be there for another 15-20 years. I've got to hustle to find a new place now. Two bedroom one bath rentals run from $1800-3250 in my neck of the woods in LA. Way pricey but it is what it is.
If kids weren't in play I would probably be looking to relocate to the SF Bay Area but not an option. Plus I'm quite sure landing a job that is as solid as my current one anywhere in this economy is highly unlikely.
No shame is right. What the hell is going in the heads of these fools? My X got the message that I am not interested in any extracurricular communication. I haven't asked her for a single thing since she moved out and I have no intention of doing so.
She is requesting that I pick up a couple of days for her toward the end of the month while she is in Florida on business. I told her I would help out provided I'm not in the middle of moving to my new residence and she would be wise to have a plan B in place.
I'll be seeing her tonight at the kids school orientation. I don't intend to sit with her. I'm just going to walk in and take a seat anywhere but with her. When everyone gets up to meet their respective childrens new teachers and classroom it should be interesting to see how she acts.
How are you handling the new dynamic in your situation? Must be trying. I'm not looking forward to that but I'm quite certain it is coming soon rather than later. The idea that some OM is going to be parenting my children when not with me makes my blood boil.
I hope to make my way up to Lake Tahoe in October once the dust has settled. I need a vacation in a big way.
Chat with you soon.

It's goin. I take possession of my new apartment tomorrow at 12:00. Escrow closes on the house at the end of the month and I need to be out by the 27th. The house gets tented for termintes on the 29th.
Kids started school two weeks ago and they brought colds home to daddy already. I'm fighting one now.
The Raiders and Rams play Sunday night, should be interesting two teams with no shot at the playoffs. I see it is in Oakland. I didn't see but a few downs of the opener for the Raiders but from what I read they looked like crap. Not surprised. I'm looking forward to seeing Bradford in action. I think he will be a good one if he can stay healthy.
Had to meet up with the X yesterday for a meeting with the School District. Pretty uneventful but the encounter reinforced the fact that less is more. I'm probably going to have more face to face meetings to deal with in the coming weeks as we dispose of the home. Oh well it isn't the end of the world and I new there would be periodic spike ups like this.
I hope to take a week in October and get out of town for a little vacation.
How is everthing going for you?
Have a nice weekend.
