Rolling in the deep...

[wishing, hoping]

Hello all

Had a busy trick or treat weekend with the kids. I made D a Snoopy costume (I even impressed myself) and S went as a soccer player. Not very original, but he is at that age. We made cookies, goblin juice, painted pumpkins, etc. Lots of fun. I need a weekend to recoup from my weekend. LOL!

So H has been a bee in my ear asking when I am going to sign the agreement and has my attorney seen the agreement, etc. He has dragged his feet for how many months and now expects me to hurry up and sign this? I explained that my attorney is out after surgery and his paralegal will review it and double check it. But I am not their only case so it might not be high on their priority list.

It probably doesn't matter but I can't help but wonder why H decided to sign the agreement? He is the one who demanded a case study and is now trying to back out of it. He tells me it is because of the money involved. I think there is more to it. I can't help but wonder if it is a trap? Or if there is a catch to it? Once bitten, twice shy they say.

And since he has signed the placement agreement he has been so nice. Things at the house (when he's there) are a lot less stressful. He includes me on decisions, asks my opinions about things and seems a lot more chilled out. D had a soccer game on Saturday. H showed up 22 minutes after the game started, stayed till the end, took some pics since it was her last game of the season and then headed to the house to pack the ladder and a few other things. Must have been doing some work on OW's house.

Last night he showed up at 6:00 to take the kids trick or treating. I told him I was running to the grocery store to pick up pizzas while he had them. He looked panicked and asked me how long I was going to be gone. I said aren't you keeping them the whole hour? He said it depended on D and how she was handling things. I said I wouldn't be gone long. I got back about 20 minutes later and started cooking the pizzas. 15 minutes later H comes in with the kids. He stayed about 10 minutes, told me some funny stories, kissed the kids and drove back up to OW's house which is 2 hours away. Make sense? I didn't think so either.

So I guess the ball is back in my court. I hope this is all on the up and up and that H is going to do whatever it takes to make things final. Keeping my fingers crossed.
