I had to out myself this past weekend to a few people about these boards - I really only went into great detail with two close friends, the others I just mentioned that I had met the SO ladies from a h&f message board (I stole that from you bullygirl979). Well it's kind of true? Haha.
It was nice to sleep in my own bed last night, although I did steal the pillow I slept on from my parents house. I really liked it and it's hard for me to find decent pillows around here!
I told DH that I'm going to be meeting up with some of the ladies from this board next week. I'm going to tell my grandma that I'm meeting friends, leaving out the internet part.
I have so much to do before I leave and I'm starting to stress. Tonight I need to touch up my roots, do laundry, and work on packing.

Yeah my DH knows all of this, so he wasn't surprised because I've been talking about this for weeks. All my "internet" friends!

You can do it Starries!
I am going to a street fair this weekend to see if any of the booths have information I could use in the event I pull the trigger on the divorce. The only hiccup is that some folks from work may be there (ones who don't know what's going on--I think), so it may be awkward.

Well, I'm trying not to disrupt my normal, every day schedule as much as possible. So it's been a littl hard to get things done. I am going to tackle the spare bedroom that has become that place to store random shit this week. I'm trying to make a list of those things that are really important that I need to make sure to take vs the stuff that I can get later if H decides not to be a huge asshole.
I also think I'm going to talk to my boss and tell her what's happening so that I can take a couple of vacation days... The killer is that I will want to take a Monday for sure and that is the day I normally can't take because I have to do payroll. Maybe she will let me do it that Saturday morning before things get crazy at the sale.
starrieskies You can do it! Yes, make sure you get all essentials out first. Find your birth certificate (DS's too), car title, all that stuff. And anything sentimental. I had to go to great lengths to get a few important things back and XH used that to his advantage.
I'm close to pulling the trigger on just staying at home full time. (muddled's head is going to explode I think with me changing my mind every five minutes) I think I'll stay at least through the end of September, possibly a bit into October as that is a busy conference time for us and I don't want to bail on them before then. I think this is the only way our lives will stop being so chaotic, and also the answer to so many of our little problems lately. I'm coming around to the idea of what that new role would be for me.
I'm working on a really fun project right now. I hope the client likes my ideas, because its a bit bold.

Thanks motzie! All of the important documentation, birth certificates, ss cards, car title, etc are already out and stored in a locked filing cabinet in my office. I also have copies of H's pay stubs, bank statements, bills, and a copy of the mortgage paperwork. So, really its just a matter of determining which items at the house are important enough to take immediately and which ones are easy to replace, I think.
I'm not going to have a lot of room to store stuff at my parents house, and I'd like to be able to save a bit before getting a storage unit so I'm trying not to take too many things right off the bat. But sometimes I get overwhelmed trying to sort between what I REALLY need to take and what I just want to take...
