I am switching L. had a telephone interview with a female L today.

D16 is at a special needs sleep away camp. 5 nights. I slept terrible the last 2 nights.

have been trying to be very productive...got carpets cleaned. Cleaned out kitchen cabinets...

Boys are gone too so I am solo. It is so weird!

Hi WbW,
I know! Last week was the first time both D's were at their mom's. I only had the dog (thank goodness) and it was just....odd. Does give you a chance to do some chores though!

HI GM! I am doing plenty of gal too... lunch and dinner out everyday!
I love cleaning out and purging! Haven't been able to with being in school. I am now on break from school too.
The solo part is the being alone in the house sleeping.
Finally last night, i slept better!

I am taking advantage of this time!

My kids are growing up. Summer used to be the kids and friends in and out of the house all day everyday.I would say, you guys go find something to do... go bowling or a movie... They are now getting their own busy lives now.

Will,

What's going on with the lawyer switching?

I am switching L. had a telephone interview with a female L today.

I never really liked the first L. i only went with him because he was a business associate of a friend. Not a good reason.
My retainer was coming to an end so thought this is a good time to switch. The new L handled another friend's d.

H and I have been discussing financials. I know this has been going on forever. Part of the issue, I'll send a proposal and it takes him 2 weeks to get back to me. He is in town so little.
I can't stay mad at h. He was here today. I am pleasant. I seem to forget that he hasn't been very nice to me.

He sees the kids so little. even sweet D16 chooses not to stay with him.
I saw a neighbor last night that had heard the news...
he shared he had too had been thru it. he wanted it- the d, and yet it still made him feel miserable.



I have been without phone, tv and internet the last 3 days! finally back up and running!

[willbwell]

the summer will be coming to an end and still pretty much in the same spot.
I did change L's. This new L want me to gather data on D16's future costs after she ages out of the school system at 22. It is quite expensive. But, at least there are some options for her where I live.

Of course, I thought h and I would have tackled this together as d got older...
Having it pushed to the front is a little overwhelming.
Thinking about the day( still a long way down the rode) but there will come a point in time that i can no longer care for D16. Plans have to be in place.

h is still moving 1600 miles away.

I start my internship on Aug 25th. Had to find someone to drive D to school. it will be for four weeks. I just pray she stays healthy.
hate to think about the morning she wakes up sick and can't go to school...i need to have a backup plan...someone "on-call" no family here. will have to rely on friends, but hate the scrabbling phone calls at 630am. meanwhile, trying to get out the door.
h doesn't have these worries.

S20 came home from study abroad last night! love having him home! It will only be for a week before he heads back to college.

S17 having a great summer- rowing, working....

love these kids so much!
