Spent a ton of money this weekend buying stuff for the house I am moving into... Less than two weeks left here. Feels very surreal -- somewhat sad but also looking forward to no longer having to deal with my MLC W on a daily basis.

Will be interesting to see how she tries to exert control over me once I am no longer in this house. Yesterday when I got home from shopping and gave her an update on what I purchased for the new house she acted frustrated about how long it was going to take for the living room set to arrive -- even to point of insisting that I go look at other stores today, pick out something else and cancel the first order! Ummmm... Which one of us is moving into the rental house? Me or her? She even brought it up again today to ask if I'd been able to find anything else today that would ship faster... Seriously?! Oh MLC, what a crazy little thing you are...

So while I do hate the idea of moving out of this home and exposing our kids to the rotation of living between both houses, I will not miss dealing with this person (or thing) who has possessed my W.

It is starting to hit me that I will only see my kids every other week -- and that is going to make me VERY sad -- as crazy as life is with three little kids, they are so precious to me and when we started our family I never dreamed this would happen to us... My W and I were both so committed to never breaking our family apart and I never saw the MLC bomb that was waiting to go off. But it was there... Just ticking away... And now we are here... In this big mess... :-(
