I'm sorry I've been AWOL - this moving stuff has occupied 100% of my time, energy and money.
Your XW sure sounds like a doozy. All I can do here is shake my head. What a total mess. Your kids are so fortunate that they have you as their rock, and my guess is that each of them realize you are, by far, the stable parent. That being said, I had to laugh at the part where she's done communicating with you. LOL. Just say thanks?!?!
Good for you and Carol navigating the actual wedding date. You both sound so happy and grounded. Isn't that the most important thing?
I'm in the countdown to closing - 15 days. D22 is flying home tomorrow for spring break, and she's going to help me finish moving the last 5-6 loads out of the basement and garage. My contractor is going to finish the last couple items on the inspection punch list on Tuesday. There's one last hurdle to clear on the 17th - when the buyers can object to any loan changes - which I seriously doubt will happen. Still, I'm not letting my guard down. It could all go south in a minute, but I'm cautiously optimistic.
I think I told you (not sure???) that the girls and I are flying home on May 25th to go to my uncle's funeral and burial at Arlington on the 26th? Hopefully, we can get together? I realize it's a holiday weekend and you might have other plans. And besides, you know that I come home a few times a year anyway...
That's all I have for now- Betsey
