Yes, God is definitely pulling some strings up there, without a doubt, to slowly reveal things to me, warning me beforehand that they're coming! I've discovered he also has a sense of humor!
H e-mails yesterday, 1 week after he filed (and still thought i didn't know), and asks where should his attorney 'send the summons', to my attorney or to the house? Before he asks that, he goes into a lengthy thing about how to use the snowblower (uh, I used it LAST year, AND I have the documentation!). And, he is going to our vacation home to close it up for the winter this weekend - do I want him to bring anything home? And then 'oh, BTW, where to send the freakin' 'summons'? Says he 'wanted to talk in person' (I was AT home that very afternoon, while he was here prepping the snowblower) but 'wasn't sure if I wanted to.' OMG -- I can't take the mr. nice guy ANY MORE. I think this is because it would be SO much easier to walk away from him if he were being mean. I answered the email with "Thanks. Just have it sent to the house."
Took the day off today and got all my paperwork and copies together for the financial person on Tuesday. Feeling better about it all. MY ducks are in a row -- his are still flappin and floppin all over the place with no sense of order. And the more I looked at the numbers today, the more I think he isn't going to be able to afford to buy me out of this house! That would mean we would have to sell it, but really, we'd make more money probably by doing that. People would start a bidding war over it. It's only 2 years old, only 1850 sq. ft., on a fantastic city lot, and it's so dang cool -- because WE designed it. There would be a line at the door. So, hey, I am open to that...gimme the cash...I'll find my own dang house! (but, alas, it won't be as nice as this one)
