Final
Posted on September 2, 2010 - Filed Under General
The divorce was final as of August 27th.
Lots of things to go through when you do this, even though we tried to make it easy.
Papers signed, parenting plans, orders of child support, you name it. Just happy we have something final. Another chapter closed.
=====
We have been civil, which is a blessing. I always hear horror stories from divorced friends and it terrified me. I thought it would be much worse.
=====
I can now focus 100% of my time on my relationship with Barb and taking care of Alex and the kids. No more distractions.
=====
I am stuck with Jury Duty for the next two weeks. Crappy timing with lots of big projects coming up at work, but not much I can do about it. I will serve my civic duty and be a good litle monkey.
=====
The stress of work and divorce has taken it’s toll on me. I have been tired a lot, and not sleeping or eating well. I am going to take some time to focus on myself again and make things right. Long overdue. I get that way sometimes. I always tend to focus on what is going on around me and not what is going on inside of me. Stupid man thing I guess.
=====
Hope you are all well and living happy.
One Family, Painting And Alex

Long time no post.
Barb and the girls have moved in and we are trying to settle and blend as a family of one. Every day may not be easy, but we are getting there.
Barb has painted the living room and we have new furnature. We are taking one room at a time, slowly getting the house ready to sell.
My divorce will be final tomorrow. It’s a sigh of relief.
Toni is living in an aprtment not far from me. It’s a nice apartment but the place is in a bad area so I worry for Alex when he is not with me. I know she would never let anything happen to him, but I still worry.
Alex is doing really well with us. He is polite most of the time and generally a fun kid to be around. He and Maggie still duke it out sometimes, but not as bad as it was the first few weeks of living together. They need to get along anyway, as they will soon be sharing a room.
Alex is really becoming quite the funny kid. Everything I had hoped he would be and more. He makes jokes and most of them are pretty funny, some of them are bad. Example of a bad one: “Hey Megan, do you have a penis?” and then he laughs. I have no idea why he is doing that but he thinks it is funny. He will only bust that one out when we are in a large group of people.
I am starting to show him the words in books when I read to him. I want him to recognize that all of that stuff on the pages actually means something. Never too young to start. I was telling Barb last night that Alex does not seem like a three year old kid at all. I feel like I am dealing with a five year old sometimes and have to remind myself that he is only three. Cannot wait to see what the future holds for us.
