Don't know if you guys remember me, it's been a little over 7 months since I last posted. I have been lurking every once and awhile. Since then, trying to heal and get use to my new life without WxH. The kids are good for the most part...still have a hard time with things every now and then. But overall we are well. So much has happened in the past seven months but I won't get into it now, I will if anyone's interested. For now just saying hello.
Pepsi

Wow, five little kids. You certainly have your hands full.

So nice to hear when someone says they are doing good. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

we're interested!

glad to hear you're doing well!

I remember you Pepsi!

You're probably very busy right now!

After all... it is tax season!

Hope you are doing well! Let us know when you have the time.

Hey Pepsi

I remember you well. You stuck to your guns and didn't allow your xh to walk all over you in the divorce. Not many cases actually go to the judge but when the settlement offers don't achieve anything close to reality...what's a girl to do.

Is he paying???

Is he visiting his children??

Is OW out of the picture yet???

Mr. Wondering

I remember you as well and we would love to know how things are going

Hey Weaver,
Yes, I definitely have my hands full but I wouldn't have it any other way.

Hello Lexxxy,
Yes, the kids and I are doing well. Don't get me wrong I still have a few days when it is not well but they are few and far between.

I will have to post more when I have time.

Hello WTF,
Very busy with the tax season, I have very good news on that front as well. I will definitely post more when I have time.

Hey MrWondering, how's it going?

Let me start by giving you a big "Thanks" for all of your advice and support during that time. Without it, I don't think I would of held out for all that I got when we went in front of the judge. Don't think that I will ever be able to thank you enough for that.

WxH is indeed paying and visiting the kids.

OW is still in the picture, actually a different OW than I thought but I'm certain he was seeing her when we were divorcing. I thought it was MOW but I knew it was someone.

He has since brought her out of the woodworks and has introduced her and her two kids to my kids and his family acting like it had started after the divorce <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> Who do they think they are fooling?

More to come...

Hello HAP,

I need to get caught up with everyone, hope things are going well with you also. I will surely update when I get more time.

Well now that tax season is over I can start with my updates. I also am planning on starting a new thread with info from my D decree and Parenting Plan (MrWondering's idea) to help those here going thru one to get ideas. Now where do I begin?

Good to hear from you again Pepsi. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Looking forward to seeing your new thread!

I hope things are going well with your little ones (we all know that there are "those days" lol <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> )

Stay Strong!

Thanks walking the field,

things are actually going pretty well, of course we all have those days but at least the good ones far outweight those now <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I was trying to catch up on my last thread last night; now I am sitting here wondering where do I begin.

So finally after the D trial and WXH many failed motions to overturn the judgement; he was finally held to the fire. I am making a separate thread on my actually D judgement and what my Parenting Plan entails. I must say that I got everything my attoney and I asked for except for the Spousal Maintenance and that was just because WXH could not afford to give it to me. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

D was final the end of May 2006, I did not actually start getting CS until Sept 2006. It took forever for the state to garnish his wages but with the help of family and friends the kids and I made it through OK.

WXH started his visitation in June and has pretty much stuck to it very well the kids were enjoying their EOW visits with him.

WXH had called me in August 2006 and was saying that he was so confused and wanted us to be friends, have lunches/dinners together & he wanted to do things around the house that I needed done. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> I knew that it was about the D judgement, his lack of income that was to come & I was pretty much a bi*ch to him and told him
to don't come crying now after all is said and done, remember that this was what he wanted so now it is time to live with it. I also told him that I meant it when I said before that we will NEVER be friends. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Well things were going along pretty well under the circumstances, CS was coming in regularly, the bills were getting paid, he was getting the kids when he was suppose to and the kids and I were getting along with our lives. Yes there were times when I would feel in awe, couldn't believe that I was actually D'ed and a single parent to 5 kids. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

More later...
