It's the final countdown...

[wishing, hoping]

Thanks Job. I know you gave me some good advice. Everyone has. It's just so overwhelming.

I met with my insurance agent to set up my policies. Done deal. I didn't know this but he also works in investments so I set up an appointment to come in and talk to him after the move to set up some financial things and get some advice. I always wanted to do that but H is not concerned with long term planning. He lives for the here and now. Now I can plan accordingly and it's all about me!!! And the kids of course.

On the H front he told me tonight he is planning to file an objection to the order my attorney sent to the judge regarding the PMSA because as he says "we haven't lived up to our end of the deal". In other words he has no guarantee that we will reneg on our end of the agreement and calculate child support at 50/50. I think he's still trying to hold Placement as a carrot for me to sign off on the financials. I don't think he will get far with it. But we will see.

I told H he needed to deal with the attorney directly on this financial stuff. I told him I couldn't wrap my head around it. I stroked his ego a bit and told him he may know the numbers but The attorney knows the law so if he wanted closure on this case he needs to deal with the lawyer directly. So I think I have him off my back. For now.

Regarding the taxes, H said he found the escrow check. He had it the entire time. So I signed it and he said he would drop it off tomorrow. It looks like it might be a bit of overpayment and we might get a refund. But it still begs the question of how this is going to affect our tax refund. Now he will be able to claim those property taxes on his next Year's taxes. I don't know if the courts will or can do anything about that or not.

I have been thinking that I would be willing to sign off on maintenance in exchange for a three year buyout. H is offering a two year buyout but I think three is fair. I am not willing to sign off half the bonuses because the kids are entitled to that money. But then the process of making sure I get them will be problematic. I think if he agrees to those two things I will agree to take on the marital credit card, but I want to get the lawyer's thoughts on that.

I asked H how to move things and how to put things together and he told me he was willing to help. I can't afford to not accept it at this point. I will rent a covered trailer and H can help me load it up and unload. He is anxious to "get this stuff out of here" as he tenderly said to me so he is willing to help.

Okay so I will see how much crap I can move over this weekend and then play it by ear next week.

Ugh. Such a day. I wanted to relax so I stopped at the grocery store and picked up a bunch of Hostess ding dongs. Let's see if he accuses me of overeating in front of the judge! Lol!!
