Well I just got home from the attorneys office. I signed the initial paperwork to start the filing process. We have to attend a parenting class and get a certificate BEFORE the divorce will be finalized. They only offer the class 4 days and you have to attend for 4 hrs, so I got lucky they cut off is Wednesday of this week for classes this week otherwise I would have had to wait another month to get things final.


The attornery is setting it up so that I have sole physical custody and we have joint legal custody. I was worried that he may balk at me having sole custody so she said they could word it so that it wouldnt freak him out and make him refuse to sign the papers. I'm also asking that he carry insurance on Nate and pay for 1/2 of child care cost.


I feel ...... yeah I'm not "happy" but I'm not "sad" does that make sense. I have been married to this man for 6 yrs this Nov. and we have been togather for over 9. I'm so scared. I have been a housewife for over 3 yrs now and although I'm looking for work I'm having great success at not finding a job lol.


I KNOW I will make it but why does the hill have to be so steep? So now any great financial advice or tips you have is greatly welcome.

Congrats on getting the legal ball rolling. Hang in there. You've got to remember to be thick-skinned with the job interview thing. Sometimes when you don't get the job, it's really not you at all. Don't take it personal.
