I love this picture.....so fitting.[Linked Image from smileyvault.com]

On my work email everyone chooses quotes at the end of their signature line. Sometimes I amuse myself and put movie quotes or other funny ones to see who notices.

My new quote line is: "Reality check You could put a pig in a white dress but guess what it is still a pig"

A couple of coworkers caught it and think it is a riot that it is just out in the open. Maybe I can add this picture for the ones that don't notice it! lol

The wheels of court have turned slowly but XH got served today. Got a call from the woman with paperwork looking for his "home" address since all she had was a post office box. She told me she would call after he was given citation.

Enforcement of the divorce decree. He has defaulted on a loan, monies for DD16 car, medical and house repairs.

Just ignores bills and emails with $$ amounts.

Not going to ask anymore, letting attorney take care of it.

process server called me to say he was outside with PP and asked what the package was and she said he was officially served. PP was making oinking noises behind him (literally).

Hate this stuff but need to take care of my own family.

So, PP was implying the process server was a pig, PP actually laughs like a pig, or PP was jist doin' what comes naturally to pigs?

That's great Hope. Continue to hold his feet to the fire. He cannot shirk on his responsibilities to his daughter. She didn't ask for this and doesn't deserve it from the man who is supposed to protect and provide for her. This just makes me so angry for you. Grrrrrrr.....

BTW, you are doing a fantastic job with your daughters. You have really stepped up to the plate for them and one day they will thank you for all you do.

For about 1/2 nano second I felt a twinge of guilt thinking about the man formerly known as my H and then I pulled up my big girl pants (which by the way no longer fit me because they are too big-lol) and realized that I am only asking for what he agreed to in HIS D.

As long as he is attached to PP, he is an alien that I do not recognize, he can't be a Dad, he can't be a man who had integrity.

PM thanks for the vote of confidence about DDs.

Don't you dare. This was HIS choice and HIS agreement. Sorry for the dude, but what he agreed to was a legal contract and he can't just not pay if he doesn't feel like it or his pig needs diamonds. It doesn't work that way and the sooner he realizes it the better.

Can't help but think that PP must be flaming mad at the moment. I smell her starting to cook. You may have just taken away some of the perks of the big affairage. Skewer her Hope.

I wouldn't feel a bit sorry for him. I refuse to cave in on anything. This is his doing, its his D. and I will not let go of 1/2 of what was the marriage assets and that I helped to build.
You definitely need to NOT feel any twinges of guilt; and PM is right your DD did not ask for any of this either, and she certainly did not ask for her "daddy" to not be in her life, I'm sure her "daddy" is welcome to see her, but I'm also sure the the alien is not welcome.

Barbiecat...I just spit out my drink when I read this. Priceless.


Thanks for the 2x4s. No guilt - no pain!!!

Mymissy, during my D I stood my ground and I protected my family. When I went into mediation I wrote on a piece of paper. "I promised DD" meaning keeping her in her home till she got out of school. I was not going to walk away with just my pride while he was slumming with PP. He changed the fabric of our lives and not in a good way.

I am still rotflmao about the above quote. I swear that I still have juice stuck up my nose when I choked on it last night. Nooo

Heard XH never made it to work yesterday. I think the karma bus ran over his toe after being served on Monday. What next.

I should be receiving a letter with the court date. i think he has 20 days to respond maybe? He can't go to his previous attorney because he burned that bridge by stiffing him out of the rest of the money he owed. I think he might have been shocked by the $$ amount. PP probably starting all shades of pink (as in pig pink)

If he did not default on the loan since January, the $$ would be much smaller. My Attorney is going for the past due amount and full balance on top of money for DD car and medical/repair bills.

On a happy note


HappyBirthday HappyBirthday HappyBirthday to my DD who turned 17 today!!! hurray She had a great day at school. Her boyfriend who treats her very well brought over roses, locket and a few other presents. Young love .... loveheart

Tonight we are going out to dinner of her choice and on Friday she is having a pizza party with some friends. She is a good kid and I am very proud of both of my daughters. I am blessed and will enjoy our night and watch her glow!

She shares a birthday with Holyheart! laugh
