Saturday Randoms

Good Morning!!

I have the house to myself until Monday night. I am going to make the most of it and organize all my paperwork. Oh and of course, walk around naked! Roommate problems! lol

I'm trying to see the positive side of things in my life. I have a supplemental insurance policy that covers accidents, hospitalizations, well visits/preventative care etc.  Well I have already collected over $700.00 from the accident, so I am able to pad my savings should I need hand surgery. If I don't need surgery, that would put a nice dent in one of my medical bills. If I get the $750.00 I applied for through the Spina Bifida Association, the one bill will be completely paid! Woo hoo!

Also, I posted that a ground level office is opening up at my firm. I found a mini fridge/freezer and mini microwave bundle for under $170.00! I will finally be able to eat something other than PBJ for lunch! (the fridge/microwave is downstairs and I can't do the stairs.) I can't wait to have soup and left overs from dinner! The possibilities are limitless! hahaha! It's the little things in life!

Hope everyone has a great day!

I'm waiting on a package to be delivered and then I'm meeting up with bl to walk around a lake.

I was just looking at my dog and telling him he was the most beautiful dog in the world. I probably shouldn't have kids or they will turn into egotistical maniacs.

I really admire how you work to maintain a positive outlook abcdefu. It's so inspiring!

Today is the first day of real fall weather. Fall weather sometimes triggers my ptsd, so I'm really working to establish positive connections to the weather change. Tonight I am attending a huge dinner event through work and it is outside, so hopefully it will create some good memories for me.

2 weeks until my birthday cruise!!

Thank you glitzyglow! I have worked so hard to get where I am, both mentally and physically. I could easily throw in the towel, but I don't want to do that. All of the things I am able to do, albeit a little differently now, I was not supposed to drive, walk, go to "regular" school, much less college. I have risen above these challenges. While I am upset that the accident has set me back, I know I have to keep moving forward and I will.

I'm dealing with my crazy xh AGAIN not understanding or complying by the court order.

He hasn't seen the kids since the beginning of July. He decided Thursday night that he wants visitation this weekend. He has to notify me by Wednesday and doesn't get why he can't see the kids. We have very specific orders because he NEVER complies.

I'm so tired of this.

10 mile run done on a beautiful trail. Grateful that my friend ran with me even though she's not training for anything! We saw horses and crabs and the water was so still!

Now I need to find the motivation to get writing!

1confused1 - I'm sorry you are dealing with this. I forget how old your children are, but maybe you could look into filing something with the court. It's not fair to your children, or you, that he chooses not to see them and then all of a sudden, over two months later, he suddenly wants to be in their lives.

Thanks.  They are 6 and 8.  I discussed this with my attorney last week and there is nothing to file.  He has parental rights, he already has supervised visitation and all the orders are in place.  While I wish he never has visitation, the court will never grant that unless he was a threat to the kids (which he's not).  Had he notified me on time, then he would have them this weekend, but he didn't and he knows he didn't.  I'm tired of him not EVER following a court order for the past 3 years and it's time he feels the consequences of it.

UGH! I'm sorry! I understand that he has parental rights, I just feel it is unfair that he can just come and go as he pleases on his terms instead of having a set schedule from which your children could benefit. It sucks he doesn't have any consequences. I hope he can pull his head out of his arse and be a better parent!

One of the lawyers paras contacted me to see how I was doing since I left the office. It was sweet and I didn't expect it.

I start the school system this Monday but I'm just taking the weekend a day at a time and trying to relax.

That sounds so frustrating! I'm sorry.
