This is the last day that my children will believe they are living with two parents that love each other. Needed to get that thought out of my head. Sorry, you guys are my support group!
Just paying bills, doing laundry, and staying out of trouble today. Will probably go for a walk/bike/scooter ride with the kiddoes and then maybe some ice cream. W is out of town at Aunt's house. She told me "You can call her and ask if you are concerned about my whereabouts." Not a chance.
Starting my post-D "keeping active" list. Not really GAL stuff, but necessary in case STBX decides to vacate the immediate vicinity to go be with OM after D. Because I'll be selling and moving as close to my children as possible.
Buy new washer/dryer Fix/snake all drains (currently have smelly drains - suspect one or both of the vent stacks is clogged.) Pave driveway - asphalt (currently gravel) Square the doors Spackle and paint as necessary Finish out game room (we converted the garage last year)with lighting and thresholds Insulate game room ceiling more
Other assorted: Switch car insurance/change my coverage to liability Do QDRO paperwork to give her 1/2 401K Get credit cards, bank account, electric over in my name Line up child care options for when I need them (rare)
