Better post. I think I got over the 'whoa is me on the loss of my house' thing. I put a down payment on an apartment today. It's nice. 2BR, one bath, loft, garage and a FIREPLACE!! Funny, I think I would miss that about my house the most. It has a large community pool, BB and RB courts. It's about 10 minutes away, next town over. Close, clean, pretty.
S10 was into it today and excited. D7 wouldn't get out of the car, became weepy, closed her eyes and refused to open them initially, then, looked around and got excited. Proud of them.
December 15 is closing and I can start moving in on 12/1. Scary and not a lot of time considering the mortgage commitment just came in.
S10 opens up more to me. Apparently XW DOES make his phone calls to me difficult:
"Dad, whenever I call you mom says I'm on the phone too long; why are you calling him again; she hassles me when I text you. She gives me a hard time". I talked this over with him in constructive terms without denigrating his mom (but boy would I love to call a spade a spade).
Oh geez. She REALLY has a problem. My kids are free to contact their mom WHENEVER they want..HOWEVER they want...and as many TIMES as they want. This woman REALLY has issues. I hope Cadillac Man has it figured out.
As for the pix. I kept them. The photos of Switzerland are like out of a story book. Memories I think I'll box and save. Nothing else new on the dating scene. Just, "bleh. LOL. Once the move is completed, I think this mostly wraps this up. Technically, in the eyes of the law, we are still married. Still waying for the judge to stamp the stip. When THAT happens, I can finally let XW of the insurance and that will save me about $19K per year.
Hugs to all of you. FIB
