Tried to stay busy during my off week with the kids. I've been checking a lot of things off my "to do list", did a number of projects around the house, caught up on some professional work, and did brunch which led into dinner with friends over the weekend.

It's crazy this week with them, remote school, and work. I've continued to flex as much as possible at work to spend time with the kids, and took them sledding this week. Looking forward to a Super Bowl party with friends this weekend after drop off.

On the D side, I gathered up a bunch of requested financial documents and made a list to request from W. We have a solid agreement on the value of the martial home. There's a lot more to negotiate over, but W & I are on-board with keeping the lawyers out of it (at least for now) and trying to come to agreement between the two of us without running up legal bills. Time will tell. I floated the proposal of each of us taking our own assets, accounts...etc. in the interest of moving things along (which she's definitely interested in) but she's entitled to more legally so not sure that will fly. We'll see. I updated my own financial picture in my head over the Summer based on what the law would rule, so even if I lose a good bit I've already come to terms with it - and it's not bad considering in some states it would be much worse.
