So sing already!

They say it isn't over till the fat lady sings- So sing already!
This divorce needs to be done. now.
That is all.

A Quote

"Any force that tries to make you feel shame for being who you are, and loving who you love, is a form of tyranny over your mind. And it must be rejected, resisted and defeated."

Anybody want to venture a guess as to who said it? I'll give hints if necessary.

A few things you don't want to hear ( and a few you do)

From the court reporter taking your divorce deposition: "This is the most interesting deposition I've ever taken." Thankfully she didn't say this to my face or I'd have had to mess her up. She told my lawyer later.

From your stbx:" I could put 3 or 4 things (pieces of information) out there and ruin you" Yeah, spyware is a be-yotch.

From your new boss: "Your husband's attorney just called me" Day 3 on my new job. Nice.

From your attorney after a whole day of negotiation: "We have twenty minutes to write this down (the whole custody arrangement) or the judge is leaving"

From your attorney after your divorce case is settled: "Sorry" (see above)

From the financial aid office at your new school: " You filed as married? who told you to do that?" (THEY DID!!!)

From your youngest son's teacher: "Your son accidently threw away his retainer at lunch today" (he'd only had it for 6 days)

Those are a few of the recent happenings in my world, Thankfully, there have been a few things I did want to hear as well, or I might not be sitting here. Things like:

From my sweetie: "I love you", "I'm so proud of you", "I can't wait to see you", "Hello wife"

From my oldest son: "Kinko that" translation : "I love you". He's too cool or too shy to say the actual words, so I always get "ditto" or "Kinko that" when I tell him I love him.

From my youngest: "Sit next to me, Mom", "When do I get to go to your house?", " Awww Do I have to go to Dad's?" I know this probably sounds awful, but after what they've been through and the trials I've had with the oldest, it's music to my ears that at least one of them still wants to be with me.

What things do you like to hear or not hear?

Mixed Bag

A wonderful visit this weekend. Wonderful memories, tempered by moments of drama. My ex having a fit. My dd trying to extort money from my sweetie. My sweetie spending over an hour on the phone with the ex. Those three episodes alone will keep me busy with my therapist for months.
It was wonderful to have my sweetie for 4 whole days! It has been so long since we've had that much time together. It was different, and it was the best 4 days I've had in long, long time. I was hoping it would be the first of many such visits- but my sweetie isn't sure she can handle the drama that comes with visits here. Sigh. Another twist in the road. When will I be able to go home?

Success!!

Well, I did it. Another big step on my journey. I have a new job! Yesterday was my first day and it was great. I went in there and had a great day. I was confident. I was capable. The best part of all was, this job came looking for me. I was looking like crazy and this man found my resume on Monster.com and called ME. Thanks to everyone for your encouragement.

Another former thumper.....
