life is definitely a roller coaster. I ended up talking to W for an hour. We really had a great talk. She apologized and said she was truly afraid I was going to take the girls. I assured her again that I had no intentions. We actually got along great for the sake of the girls and have come up with a pretty solid agreement.

I do so miss San Diego but realize that it's not the best place for all of us. Maybe when I'm 50 and just want to write, I'll move back and become a beach bum but right now, I'm thinking only of my kids.

I can at least sleep well tonight. It was so nice to talk to the W that I know and not this beast she's been the last few weeks. I don't know how long it will last or if I can trust her but I do trust in God. I do believe that this is the first step.

She is really turning her back on her mom. She kicked the guy out of the house and wants me to meet a nanny for the girls. She's even looking at getting a smaller place in July. This is all the right things. She even wants me to move closer so I can be more involved with the girls.

I think her dad got a hold of her and knocked some serious sense in her. She sounded very sure and sane. She was staying at a very good friend's house and I think she is beginning to get on the right path.

I'm guarded but this is what I've wanted too.

Let's see what tomorrow brings...
