The Party!

I had a great time at my divorce party. I was a little worried about the kids being here but Christopher slept through it and Nicholas was fantastic. He played with Steven then went to bed without too many problems. I am so lucky to have so many wonderful friends. After the party a few of us went to a local bar and I didn't get home until 2:00 am. As fun as it was, I think I might be getting too old for it and the other moms agree!

Seriously . . .

I took Nicholas to his first real hockey team practice tonight. The coach had them doing laps and push ups at age 5! Nicholas missed that because I forgot his entire hockey bag, then I conned Jason into buying him brand new hockey skates, so he was late getting onto the ice. Did you notice that - Jason was at the skating rink even though he was supposed to be in NY since Thursday doing a "business" deal? It's true, there he was, at the rink with his girlfriend and her daughter, yet not our child. If you recall he cancelled on picking up our children for the weekend. So I sent him a text message to which he replied that he's leaving tomorrow at 6:30 am. I am sure that the "bank" he is doing "business" with is open all weekend.

Quicker than Expected

The divorce party is this Saturday night. It's all planned, the people are invited, my lists are made, I just have the actual shopping to do. I have plans to go to a party with my friends Lori and Herb on Friday night. Saturday morning I am taking the dog to the vet for her yearly check up. Saturday I am helping my friend move into her new apartment. Lots of plans because it's the boys weekend with their father. Only wait - it's not - he's cancelled again. Just a week and a half ago he was in California on the boys weekend with him and now this weekend he's going to be in New York City. I knew he was going to stop taking them but I just didn't realize it would be so quickly.

It's Official!

The papers have been signed by the judge and filed, it is official - the divorce is final. I have started packing with all of the boxes and newspaper that my friends and brother have brought over. I must say that I am very lucky to have so many people care about me. I have sent out evites to the divorce party and everyone is ready to celebrate. I wonder if I can get each person who comes to pack one box . . .

The Results

So, it was a long week last week. So long in fact, I just couldn't even bear to put it all in words. I think I have digested the results long enough now and I am comfortable with them. It wasn't what I expected but it could have been a whole lot worse. The divorce papers are signed and on Thursday I go to court for the last time so they can be filed. The kids and I have to move back to the house on Hollow Wood until it sells and then we are off to Fishhawk. I think it's the best place for us. Now that I am a "single mom" I just want to feel as safe as I can and be somewhere that is totally kid friendly. There is so much out there now that it just makes sense to me. Next up - the divorce party!
