Part of our divorce agreement was that I get the house and he gets the property that we were going to build a new house on. I didn't want this house and really wanted the property but he said I didn't deserve it. Fine, oh well. I kept the family home and refinanced it and took out some equity to do some badly needed repairs.

It feels so empowering having this work done. I can just see the X when he picks up and drops off the kids checking out the work that he was too lazy to do. I'm waiting for him to say something about the money issue and then I'm going to let him have it with both barrels.

I also made phone calls today to pre-buy my heating oil for the winter so that I don't have that worry during the cold months and I had my employer take money out of my paycheck to my savings so that my mortgage and water bill are budgeted for.

I can't believe that I'm doing this on my own!! I love crawling into my big bed at night and looking around at the stuff I decorated it with all on my own. It's really fun. I get overwhelmed sometimes by the fact that I have a lot of rooms that need fresh paint, but then I just focus on doing it one room at a time.
