I feel lighter....
...with the legal thing at bay for a while. The children are on their way to school, and I am in the process of getting ready for work. Soooo cold outside--in the teens. But it is supposed to get up into the midforties. Strange to think my crisp dry snow crunching steps may soon be slush-mud tracks into my house. Then it is all supposed to hard freeze for more snow tomorrow....

I have lost count...
...of how many legal actions have been taken against me by my ex. This one is dragging out over 7 months and, as usual, is about money. He has never believed he owes child support since I have a good job. And once he got out of it for a few years. But I don't think he will at this point, b/c the circumstances were quite unusual and extreme before..... I am tired of it all, but tomorrow is another day. Taking the high road. Interestingly, when he isn't paying he uses part of his money to do...

I called the mother of the groom and she found someone who could get me back on track. My boys did such a good job...

It's the weekend, but it feels too full as there is a wedding that my son's are helping in. One is a ring bearer and the other is an usher. Everything started last night at 5 pm (I had to get off work early to make it on time) When the bride was an half hour late to the rehearsal, I realized that I needed to let go of any hold on time and schedule. The evening that was supposed to end by eight, actually ended at 11pm. So now we begin the wedding day.....I do wonder when I will get to buy...

Discipline....
This is hardest with my boys. I feel like I have to be part Mom and part coach to psych out what works best. We are just finishing a phase(partly because of the severe cold and short days) of exercise--ie early morning laps running the parameter of our backyard. The main issue for the boys has been being responsible about their school work. One boy saves his 'daywork' for home, then has four or five hours of work to do at home. The other young man is certain there must be a way out of doing any...
