I appeared in court this morning and an order was entered allowing (STBXW's attorney) to withdraw as (STBXW)'s attorney and setting the case for a status on 5/31/11 for (STBXW) to either enter her appearance on her own behalf or for any attorney to do so. This type of status is required any time an attorney withdraws in a pending case. If she agrees to the settlement, we can have it signed by both of you and get this case done.

As usual, my stomach is churning. April and May are going to be tough months in the future. In those two months I have my birthday, wedding anniversary, day the relationship ended (Mother's Day) and now possibly a divorce date.
If I get remarried, I'd like to do it in June, kind of a rebirth.
Lots of ups and downs in last 24 hours.
* D8 had a meltdown on the street after school yesterday. I was patient for 20 minutes and then had to forcefully get her home. A couple drove by in a truck and thought I was being too tough on D8. The joys of raising an ADHD child. D8 felt awful after. I told her when she gets upset, we need to go home so we can handle it outside of the public.
* Church singles group started meeting again last night. It goes two months on, one month off. Church 31 -- the one I would just love to ask out when this is all over -- was there and her engagement is off. I felt bad that I was happy. When the D is done I will try to work up the courage to ask her out. I won't even mind -- really -- if she says no. I'm 11 years older, two kids and probably not her type. I've never had much luck with blondes. Still, she is my prototype. If I get married again, I think I'd like it to be to someone like her.
* Then the email this morning.
Life is rarely easy.
