This is the e-mail exchange that I just had with my lawyer. I pay him a fortune, but right now it seems worth every penny.

"

I just got another e-mail from  D saying that it is still not in the system and he was unable to make a payment.
I have the copy of the form that you submitted. 

So, ?  Is he lying or is there really a problem? 


Thanks

 

Sara,

 

    I have no idea what D I is talking about. The ISETS form has been filed. It was filed correctly (as all my filings are).

 

    I will actually call his lawyer on Monday to find out what the problem is.

 

    Frankly,if the problem isn't solved by about Tuesday, Wednesday at the least, it will be my suggestion that we file a contempt citation against D. You shouldn't have to pay an attorney to prepare his forms, or to remind his lawyer to remind his client to pay.

 

    I'll let you know what I find out.

 

 

Thank you.  I had no doubt that the form was filed correctly.  I'm so glad that I have you to fight for me.

 

A contempt citation :)  Yep, that'll be worth the $175/hr.  And worth the wait for the money. Or maybe never getting it at all.

 

I laughed about this last night and I'm smirking today. I'm glad that my lawyer is going to handle this. I'm done communicating directly with my stbx.  And now that I know it's in my lawyers hands, I feel a weight lifted. So next week, I get my money or to file a contempt citation. There I go, smirking again :)

 

Last night I went to Macys and spent $87 on personal care stuff. Yes I've needed most of it.  And with my allergies everything has to be fragrance free.  So Origins and Clinique for me.

part of me feels like given my current financial situation, I should not have spent the money. I should have saved that money for bills and hit the drugstore for my skincare stuff.  

This will last me for months.

 

  And I deserve to take care of myself.  My bills are paid. And last night I needed to feel a little abundance. In the girl stuff area. Maybe because what I really wanted to do was buy new makeup. And to have a new look.  I was feeling girly and wanted new girl toys to play with.  Odd for me this girly side coming out. My stbx hated that I wore makeup. The truth is he hated when other men looked at me.  Now that I'm free of that, I find that I want to be girly. I can't in the work that I do, no really. But I still wanted to play for my time off.

 

 

So I cleaned my makeup brushes, and layed them all out to dry.  Then I drug out every bit of makeup that I own and organized it.  I tossed out some old stuff, but was able to keep most of it.  Having it all spread out on my coffee table, I realize that I have plenty. A couple of things here and there could add to what I have, but really, how many lipsticks does one girl need?

 

Sometime soon, I'll play with what I have and see what I can come up with on my own.  No need to spend even more money right now.

And it worked. Today, I feel like I have enough. I am blessed.
