Hey Rin!

I used to like that movie when it first came out because of my role as StepMom to Dss. They don't come out and say there was adultery involved or not, but it's too likely for me to be able to tolerate watching it these days.

Hope you had some good rest.

Hi Rin-

Just stopping by. YS's drill team took 2nd at their meet but beat their biggest rivals of the past few years.

He also placed 2nd in the individual drill and his color guard team placed 2nd as well.

Oh yes, and he as a girlfriend who is on the team. It's soooo cute.

HI, I was up a little early, then decided to go back to bed and woke up a little while ago...

I have somethings to get done today...just cleaning the house...for this inspection, basic stuff needs to be done, clothes picked up, kitchen cleaned, floors, etc...

I'm not doing any repairs...the way it is is the way it is...better for me in the long run...coming in low, will have a greater chance for me to get some other stuff to help out the kids and I...

There's still some trim that needed to be done and the boys bathroom needs some repair...

I have to move Christmas boxes out of the house and into the garage...

JT, I'm SO happy that your son did so well, and his team...GF in the group, WOW! I would get a kick out of watching that too! :giggle:

BUGS, I did catch that A in the movie...but you know that didn't really bother me...I was crying...thinking about the single mom thing and how she struggled with the whole cancer thing...losing her life, her kids...

Watching her go throught the stages and the struggle...that's what made me sad...but I really love the movie...

HEy all! Well, the kids will be getting a trampoline anyway...I won't be able to see my dad and SM for Christmas with the car problems I'm having and my dad will only be in for a short time...

So they are ordering it and shipping it to my house...I just got off the phone with SM, she wanted to know if it was okay...

Now I have the bounce house and I told her that they could have both but now I'm wondering if I should return it and get them something else...I think that I should, the yard is little, and I can't have both up at the same time....

Well, I could have one int eh front yard and one in the back...

Oh, decisions!!! I could drag the bounce house with me to places...events, etc...also...

Any ideas?

Good evening! Running a bath to relax in, so I can rest from the days work...we got a pretty good bit done...

not everything that I wanted to do but good enough... the boys worked hard...

I will return that bounce house...It was a busy day with the phone...talked to both my mom and stepmom...not to mention a few friends...I remember a time when my phone wouldn't ring for days...so I can really appreciate a day like today...

Well, let me get my "rest on"...enjoying that bath pillow I was talked into...like that was hard to do! LOL

You would believe the day that I have had...

HN2 emailed me this morning asking for the title to the bike that POWS was not suppose to sell b/c of the D processing...

I emailed her back saying that it was part of the community property settlement and that POWS would have to talk to his Attorney...

She replied: Oh, ok, I'll let him know. He's the one that told me to ask you!

I also TMed POWS and told him that he would have to tlak to our Attorneys about the title and asked that he pls not give out my email address...I wrongly accused him of giving out the email address...

So, POWS wrote me and I apologized ONLY for accusing him of giving out the email...he told me to stop telling him what to do...I reminded him to reread the TM b/c I asked...

WE're meeting for present exchange before I pick up the boys...

I WILL conduct myself in a classy manner, I will not say anything outside of an issue with the boys...

I'm writing that to hold myself accountable...I will also not react to a darn thing he does or says...I will get this over and done with in a timely manner...

Could use some encouragement...

And what's up with HN2? And POWS telling her to ask me? That's crazy!!! if she didn't know something was up with that bike, she does now...

OMG!! OMG!! I GOT IT! HN2 wrote me back and backed up my story in writing...blowing POWS story out of the water...

I faxed it to my Attorney, no need to subpona records now!!!

I'm so excited...you guys know how long I've been fighting this...

GOD IS GOOD! ALL THE TIME!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hi ALL! It's been an interesting day...POWS cancelled on me for this afternoon, which is great b/c I'm tired from watching what I said with HN2...i wanted to see what you guys thought...b/c of her confession that cuts out alot of legal [email]cr@p[/email] from my side to go through...

Wow, Rin.

He'll definitely have some explaining to do. Does this strengthen your position for coming to some sort of settlement instead of having to wait for more court?

It definitely puts him in contempt, since he was restrained from selling marital property.

The neighbor probably has less to worry about, legally, than STBXH. I'd guess that the sale can be held up on her side a little easier than it can on his side. He will be in some hot water, though.

How is your attorney at these things? Hopefully he doesn't just blow it off. Proving that STBX was selling off marital property when he wasn't supposed to be -- and that he (and maybe his attorney?) lied about it, too -- seems like a pretty big card to be able to play.

Good luck!

-Ami.

I'm going to push it...I don't think that we will have to go to court now...I would like to settle and get it over with...

yes, he is in contempt and I will fax the remaining info over to my laywer tomorrow...the comments about POWS stating exactly what she said in front of his lawyer...

This is just going to make things so much easier...

From what I understand he has received all of the money from it, which is less than Fair Market value...so regardless if we push for the contempt of court...he will still have to pay me half of the Fair Market value is...

I just want this is come to an end...and only with God's help will this be done...

Two days after I talk to the paralegal about started the community property negotiation...THIS happens...AMAZING!!!

I'm going to protect me and the boys, but at the same time, I want to take the path of least resistance...I'm tired of dealing with him in this manner...

Well Praise God! What glorious news this is!!

So happy for you. I 'think' it will be up to you as to if HN2 has a problem or not. You may be able to agree or not agree to the sale.

Doin' the Happy Dance today for Rin!!

Hi BUGS, granted I would like to have my bike back, finish learning how to ride, but at the same thing...I just want my half...

Here are some facts: I find myself really wanting to stick it to POWS...POWS has "sold" this bike to them...I'm not sure if I want the bike or just my half of it...

I want POWS to feel the consequences of his actions...I "WANT" to hurt him for all the crap that he's done...I know this...I want him to feel the consequences of his actions...

So if it's up to me, how do I do this without searching revenge on POWS...I know that I want to do this...i know what I feel...How do I take the higher road on this one? What are my choices? I do have to live by these people...

I still find myself wanting OP to "SEE" what POWS is doing, the lying, hurting his family, etc...

It's the same stuff...I was so tired when I got home yesterday...DRAINED...then I started getting this headache and told the boys I was sorry but mom had to lay down for a while to try to get rid of it...

I talked to my mom and she said it was tension...I slept about an hour and when I woke up I did feel better...

I'm trying to do the best that I can...trying to figure out how I can get out of the way of his consequences and still tka ethe higher road...

Hey Rin.. sounds like he's serving himself up on a platter.

I'm happy that you ought to be able to get something fair out of it, and the contempt and lies he's told his lawyer will not fare well for him I'm sure in the eyes of a mediator or the Judge.

I'm getting ready to go into this process myself and am sort of holding my breath trying to think about what may happen.

My prayers are with you in hopes that whatever the outcome, it is the best possible for you and your family.

Thank you James...I will certainly do my best to support you in your time of need...POWS definitely is doing that...

I was like you and holding my breathe...praying and wishing that the boys and I could move back into the house...that's was the longest 6.5 months...all three of us living in one room...

Due to my sitch I felt there was no other choice but to leave, got a TRO, and we left...

It was hard, but slowly, in God's time things have been coming together...God's time has taught me to be patience and be still...I still revisit that lesson often...

I really needed to hear from YOU, today...someone else who can relate to the process...most of the people that I Plan Aed and Plan Bed with have recovered...MOF, three wonderful people who touched my life...all ending up here at the same time...

That's tough to wrap my head around sometimes...so I am blessed for your very presence today! I will also pray for you and your family...take care!
Rin

Rin,

Consequences come...and keep coming.

No need to control, make them felt, push them...what is not in your control.

You're already doing what IS in your control.

And you're doing it well.

With respect, class and conviction.

Truth is...and comes to light...you're right to lean on God.

LA

Rin,

I'm glad if my presence here has helped.. though I'm not sure I really contributed in a significant way other than that I have the utmost empathy for your sitch. You're actually a long way ahead of me here, and one of the people I've been looking at to see how some of this can go.

Your message about God's timing could not have been more perfect for me, as I'm struggling right now with patience as we mentioned on the other thread. It's funny sometimes how God always gives us the people, or the words we need at the right moments. He is good to us, and knows what we need.

I suppose one thing that I need to keep in mind too, is that as strong as my faith in God to work on the other side of the mountain is.. I am on a path right now to personal recovery. I was just telling Skinsgal today that she needed to measure success not by the 'results' of what she sees in her WH's life.. but in the results she is seeing in her own.

I suck sometimes at taking my own advice.. but it's nice I can give it to others.. helps me hold myself accountable to the things I -know-.. but am fighting against.

Afternoon LA, Thank you for the reminder...I KNOW that they are coming...and will continue to come...without any assistance from me...I'm doing my part...

I went to a meeting at lunch and it was pointed out to me that I am mistaking revenge for justice...I completely agree with that...I want to see justice serviced...

James...


There you go!!!How can you be the lighthouse with this statement?

You just BEING HERE, it what helped...just your very being...sharing with me today...regardles of whether "I" found wisdom, comfort, or anything in your words...You being you, you being honest...that's what helps! For this I am grateful...

Well, LG and some of you OP out there...I just met Bobby Hebert...former QB for the Saints...his son is a red shirt at LSU also!!!

Nice guy! he's doing our commercials on radio for our company!

I was not expecting what I saw...I guess I remember the young Bobby Hebert...but he was very tall...

Hi again...well, the boys will be getting signed Footballs for Christmas from my bosses...Mr. Hebert will be back this coming Tuesday...

His son is 18 6'2" 285lbs...Bobby sai that we will see him playing in 09' and by that time he will probably be 6'5" over 300lbs., he's playing center...

Awesome!!!

That's great.. and very cool.

On a somewhat related Saints/College football note.. I got to watch Drew Brees eat dinner that I partly cooked most nights after football practice when I was working my way through college... cocky Freshman with a heck of a gun and a weird birthmark on his cheek.. he didn't seem all that important back then.. small world right?

Great guy though.. -always- said thank you as he came through the line at the athletic hall.

Word to those whose children are going to college and will be expected to work.. the Athletic Dining Hall is -the- place to work.. always shifts available to pick up.. and after the athletes eat and leave.. you get to.. in other words.. you eat steak, broiled chicken, good pasta with sauce that doesn't resemble catchup, and real vegitables while everyone else eats mystery meat, bad pizza, canned veggies, and pudding stolen from expired army MRE's.


Just another tip <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
