To all...thanks for your wishes. I feel......the same.

Bittersweet today. My family gave me a quiet celebration at my sis' house yesterday. Today....I was alone. I cleaned my house. Reality. Did my office hours and then two of my colleagues took me out for Japanese food.No fanfare at all. It came and went.

The bitter: court was adjourned for two more weeks. The financial appraisal wasn't ready. You all may recall that my STBXW threatened me with a motion to come home early from my vacay with the kids. I drove home in a blinding snowstorm to comply. Today...I found out that it is 'illegal' so to speak to keep the children from a parent on their BD.

It is I who could have/should have filed a motion against XXX to have had them with me today on my 50th. I didn't know this and I am angry with myself for not being aware. My atty was FURIOUS when she learned it was my BD and the kids were away.

Water under the bridge.

It is times like these that I would like to throw the DB book out the window. When do you unzip and let out your cajones?

My W's vacation cost at least 2.5-3K and she is sportin' a new Apple laptop.

This needs to be done.

Believe it or not...it was a good day in spite of all this.

Half a century!

Oh is she doing some shopping now? To "split" the debts so that she's getting stuff at half off? Really?

Yes I wondered about the whole birthday thing and it's why I mentioned having that spelled out in your d papers, also Father's Day, etc. But "she is a makin me a mad..." and as someone else here said, she embarrasses me as a woman.

Fine. Like you said; water under the bridge. But look into this shopping "poop" and discuss with your L b/c you should not be footing the bills for all this.

Dang. (Oh now wait...wait... hmm if she is going to get half the debt FIB, there are some things you can buy for me and I'll pay you 75% of the retail value. It's a win-win...) JUST KIDDING-- OF COURSE!!
(sigh)

As I believe, she is responsible for all her own debt as of the date of filing.

I am sitting at a desktop today so that I can type. Most of my entries are by Blackberry and it's a pain typing a big post.

I want to thank ALL OF YOU for the well-wishing yesterday. I honestly am spinning, still, from time to time, wondering how I got from point A to point B.

Hey...we DO know that by now.

While alone, Saturday, I found myself watching that movie that was one of my favorites, The Family Man. I found myself welling up (I shouldn't watch it anymore). If I have any regrets, it is that I haven't found 'that' kind of love in my life. Agreed...it's just a movie.

If you need this, Jack, if you really need this, I will take these kids from a life they love and I'll take myself from the only home we've ever shared together and I'll move wherever you need to go. I'll do that because I love you. I love you, and that's more important to me than our address. I choose us.


My wife....chose John, Craig, Zack...........

Strength and honor.

I can't even watch that movie FIB, that quote is the reason why.

Lot's of folks used to say that kind of romance only happens in movies. But it isn't true Frank, you and I will both find that kind of true romance down the road my friend. Have faith.......

I did that exact scene in acting class...the great news is that it was very easy to be moved by the script...the sucky news is that it hurt like heck to do. Oh well. As my director would say, "USE THAT PAIN FOR YOUR CHARACTER..."
amen
