Focus on Me and the Boys 10

[J5K]

Well, I think we have finally finished with all the financial and asset things. We had arbitration today to finalize assets. We have until the end of January to remove everything from storage. Arbitrator also educated us on a couple of things for co-parenting/parallel parenting. One thing he did mention was exposure to new OMs/OWs, he stated the boys need time to adjust.

Yesterday S6 randomly told me it was OK for dad to have a new girlfriend. That surprised me. Not sure why he said it, but I just laughed and thanked him and told him I was happy spending time with him and his brothers.

I received the keys to the new house yesterday and took the boys to see it. They were very excited. It will be nice to get them back into a routine and have some room for them to run around. Movers are coming tomorrow and hopefully by the end of the week we will be settled in.

The boys visit with mom was good. They stayed in a hotel again for the 3rd time. They went to their grandparents for Christmas Eve lunch. Boys said they had chicken sandwiches and some veggies. XW did not even call them on Christmas Day to see if they were having fun. On the flip side, we had a blast spending time with my family. 10 grandkids and all the siblings were together.

Now that XW has agreed for the boys to change school districts they have an extra week of vacation. I am debating whether I should offer the week to XW. It will save me on daycare costs and give the boys a bit more time with their mom. I would also have the opportunity to organize the house and get a system back in place before they start school.

I know Georgia Bulldogs suggested I not give her any additional time, but I am already D'd and at this point since she is not working, it is bonus for the kids.
