Forget about the Pedi get a full body. Not much more where I live. I think the Mani Pedi is like 30 bucks but a full 1 hour massage is like 50.
It will be a come to Jesus meeting. I just don't think your STBX is ready to come to Jesus.
Seems like quicksand to me. The more you fight the faster you sink but somepeople keep fighting.
I don't think he will go down easy. I also don't think it is going to harm him either.
I think if his A says every other weekend and 1 day a week at 800 per month. He will say well if we fight will I get less then that. NO. So there is a chance that I can get more custody and less support. Yes a slim one.
I think any hope in his mind will be worth it.
I hope he doesn't but just prepare for that.
Prepare for the fight. Then if he doesn't you will be great and if he does you will be great.

When life hands you lemons make lemonade then try to find the person life hands vodka and have a party.
All the great commanders knew that the maneuvering and positioning before the battle was more important than the actual fight. You are the better General.
You are doing great!
Testosterone boys! Testosterone! It ain’t just for nose, ear and back hair anymore!
E- I'll have to consider that...just take a day off for some extreme self-care! I talked about it a few weeks ago, but wasn't able to do it... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
I just got back from picking up my refills, seems I AM trying to get sick...sinus, gland swollen, a little cough...so, I figured get them refilled now, start taking them today, and rest, rest, rest, this weekend... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
PM- Thank you for...LOL...clueing me in...I just didn't think that it was going to be good for PODS...
Like Chrisner said I've done my homework, I have been preparing for this longer than the D has been filed...going on instinct really, gathering, protecting my NEST... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />
I have NO fear about the meeting...PODS SUCK$, HE JUST THINKS HE IS ALL THAT! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
LMAO...Coming to Jesus...good one, this pass Thanksgiving his mom sat down with both of us and I told her that PODS didn't want any part of God...My POV, same as you and Frog...wants NO PART of that today... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
Frog- I'm going to expect him to fight but my gut says that he won't...either way I'm NOT going to be surprised! he hasn't been able to surprise me yet, since I left that is...now, when we were talking NC, I got plenty of little surprises!!!!!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />
Chrisner- Do we have a spot for that in our camp? Gerenal?Is the position open? <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> What about infomation tech...or something, I'm the one that helps gather the info you need! LMAO...I knwo I gave my A more than he needed...probably over kill but I wanted to be safe not sorry!

Have you been reading that I've been walking and running? Started out 20 minutes for a mile...now 14 minutes...I know I'm not you but I'm working on it! Remember I use to say that I couldn't do something like that...well, here I AM!
LOL! You are doing better than I am! My goal is to get my running time to average 15 minutes per mile for the 3 miles stretch. I'm telling ya, I am not at all the athletic type. Never have been.
But I'm doing this triathlon, anyway. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
I am sure you could do it, too.
As for the weekend, we just got back for a picnic for my office. They put on a big shin-dig every year with games and bump-and-jumps and things for the kids. It's pretty fun. And right this minute, I'm trying to get ozzfest tickets. Apparently, along with about half of the country. So I'm playing here in between refreshing all my other browser windows that are trying to get into the site.
Think it's going to be a long night fighting to get into that site.
Fishing tomorrow, and then hopefully a date night with H if we can pawn the kids off. Not so easy since both grandmas are out of town, though. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
You might have to get some rest and rejuvination in for me! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
LMAO...Well, It sounds like you are doing well...I'll rest for you! One more day of house and dog sitting, my spon. should be back tomorrow...
only plans I have is bring Eve (her dog) to Petco, and then a meeting at 2 tomorrow for a state conversation that we are havin in town...I voluntaried to help with the hospitaliity room...
I usually go tot he track on the weekend's but I may skip it this weekend with this sinus thing...my goal is to run a half mile all at once...right now it's start and stop...
Better than nothing...I've lost eight lbs., I'm happy with that...I bought some new clothes when the kids and I loved out and I've had to retire several pairs of pants...
MOF, when PODS, the kids, and I went to dinner, F and I were talking about how I had one more pant size to go...F called me gorgrous in front of PODS....tlak about feel good coming from my boy!
Well, you know BC's coming to Denver...YOU MUST STAY AT HOME, AMI! Do not get out on the road, him and Chrisner will be together, so watch out...tell LA (LovingAnyway) too.
Please don't go anywhere's close to there! For your own safety! LMAO <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Good luck fishing tomorrow, and you can sent the kids here, what the heck, I'll watch them! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
Date night, oooowwww!!! Out of the house or in it? LMAO <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Well, I woke up a little mad this morning...that I was still out of my house...
Working hard on not entertaining those thoughts...wondering how long will it take to get him out of the house...
My A's still workign on CS for this month too...here we are the tenth and nothing...
My patience are thin today...when I woke up my Spon. and her H was gone...so I cleaned the boys and I's bathroom, and passed the broom through the house...just tryigng to keep busy...later today a group of us are getting together and going visit another friend!
Last night, I watched a movie and colored in the boy's coloring books...I found them while cleaning and ordering our room, so I said what the heck, I hadn't done that in a long time!
Anyone got an idea on how long it will take PODS to be removed from the house?
A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge. Thomas Carlyle
Striven- Sorry, I do not have any idea how long it would take...
I just wanted to say that you seem to be doing great- Did you ever get that pedicure? I never had one until a few months ago. They are AWESOME! I bring a magazine, get it done, and I just relax, and it is all about ME. If you have not done it, you should!
You have a wonderful sense of humor, and you seem to be holding up great, I just wanted to send you a "WOOOO_HOOOOO You are amazing!!!!"
