Journal Entry for August 29, 2008 Mood
Friday, August 29, 2008
 Well August 29 and school has started for my oldes. I took both sisters to see their cousins in Ny this summer, and my oldest went with me to a conferance in Seattle.  THe stbx and I see the counciliator next week. She gave me a lecture on how she is paying for her own health insurance now and I should give her more money. I told her that was ridiculous. The car she had towed to my parking lot, is running wonderfully now. Things seem good except I am still concerned for my youngest, who has had two panic attacks with her mother which have caused her to get sick, I am not sure what to do about this yet. Soccer season has started and I will see my youngest more often

    Well it been a few days since the divorce was finalized. THe ex was mad she didn't get a trial (she wouldn't have comeout to good), and didn't get much of what she was looking for, just the standard divorce. I explained to my youngest that if she ever decided she wanted to live with me and her sister she would need to tell a GAL. Maybe now we can get on with life

Kids finished up their school vacation. Oldest went to NYC with her mom and they got stranded in NY  bus terminal because of snow. Neither daughter or mom is much trouble this weekend they are both too tired.

YOungest stayed with me. I got upset when the stbx called, she was super nice. Told me I could drive the youngest to all her soccer games away (I ussually coach). Practicaly begged me when it came time to bring the youngest back. It upset me because she sounded like the women I fell in love with. She is doing this because my lawyer and I are putting the squeze on her financially, and she is being cut to part time in her present job. Too bad she doesn't believe in love conquers all theory.

Meanwhile I have cut back on my second job, and I need to find a way to cut back on my day job which I will do when I have payed my taxes.

A little bummed today. SBTX has said she will file married seperate for taxes and we have been talking about how it will be done. For the past 18 year I did out taxes, it is the first time I will write only my name down. It brings home how much being married and having a family meant to me. I remember going to graduate school and being practically penniless and thinking how what I really wanted out of my hard work was to settle down and have a family, and now so much of that is gone.

The stbx appears to be asking the kids alot about me, which bothers me. She appears to want to let this process dwell, I would prefer to get it over with. I think it is the pain she enjoys and when the divorce is over she is going to have a real let down

    If the divorce isn't final, I think you'd both make out better by still filing jointly, but I've been wrong before...worht checking into, though.

    It's tough going, with each of these milestones reminders of our dashed dreams. It's also that part of the year when we really feel those winter blues. I've recently seen some info on the positive effects of Vitamin D on winter blues, especially for those of us in latitudes from Boston northward. Google it up and see what you think!
