The End is in Sight

I'm still not divorced, but hope to be soon.  We have the documents drawn up and sent to JY.  He finally got smart and retained an attorney.  Just waiting to find out what the "small changes" are that he wants to the decree.  I'm also hopeing to get it done quickly so JY will pay child support.  He hasn't contributed anything major.  So I've been paying daycare on my own, since July.  He's being a creep (no suprise there) and only wants to pay actual expenses, instead of the statutory child support amount until we are actually divorced.  Not going to happen!

In the meantime, I've decided to get on the dating band wagon again.  I'm back online and I love it!  I'm sure I'll go through spurts where I hate it, as I did the last time I was single.  But I so enjoy meeting new people!  Many will be duds.  However, it only takes one!  I'm not putting a lot of effort into it as far as contacting a lot of people.  I'm just too busy to focus my efforts on that right now.  I have met one guy in person and am emailing with a couple more.  The in person guy was okay.  Nothing too exciting and not really someone that I'd be friends with.  One down, who knows how many more to go!

Where has the time gone?

It's September and I haven't posted since August 8th!  What happened?  M and I moved into our new house!  I was again over-whelmed by the outpouring of support.  So many friends helped me move.  They packed, the schlepped, and they hauled all kinds of stuff from the old house to the new one.  I couldn't believe how fast the move the small stuff day went.  We were popping open the champagne after maybe 2 hours worth of hard work! 

The movers came to get the big stuff the Monday after friends moved the small stuff.  Thankfully that wasn't too long either.  In fact, the movers fixed some stuff the JY didn't put together correctly when we moved into our house.  I thought I was going to need to buy a new bed, because the one I had made all sorts of noises when you got in or out of it.  Turns out JY and friends didn't put it back together correctly.  And Sam, one of my movers, fixed it all! 

The day after the movers did their work, my dad came back from Colorado.  He was an immense help, too.  He installed all kinds of shelving for me to be able to put stuff away in the laundry room and the garage.  I look like I'm so organized when you open the laundry room door!

Dad and M also hung out for a day or two so I could get away with some girlfriends.  The two had a blast!  M was living the no nap life, since she didn't seem to "want to take a nap."  And Dad got some M time in.  He even took her to SuperTarget for pizza-one of her favorite things to do.

Yesterday I was telling my hairdresser all that has transpired with JY since I had confronted him.  She had a good observation.  She said that he was acting like a creep, because he knows what he did was wrong.  Well dude, you aren't going to bring me down!  I know what you did has nothing to do with me.  You aren't going to break my stride as you crash and burn.
