Pdoc put me back on ablify but at a really low dose. She does not want me just on topamax, says it is not an approved mood stablizer and that I really need to be on a first round mood stablizer. So far, so good, no shakes. I think my anxiety level is a little higher, but that may just be because my hearing is coming up on Thursday and h has really been pushing my buttons this weekend. He is upset that I am asking for sole custody, he wants joint legal custody - so he has some say in decisions regarding medical, religion and education. We could never agree on some of this stuff before so I don't see us agreeing on it now. My attorney was the one that talked me out of joint legal custody so we will see, I guess. He finally hired an attorney on Friday. It should be an interesting week here. I am very scared about getting in front of a judge on Thursday. Then to add to my week last week, I took my car to a mechanic friend to have my spare tire put back underneath my car where it belonged since h never did it after my flat, and he told me something was broken so now it has to go to the shop this week. Thankfully it is still under warranty and he knew to check it (he has the same model) because it affects my steering and I would not have wanted it to go completely on my trip to MA in a few weeks. But, H now says he is looking at a 30 day continuance for hearing on Thursday (which my attorney says is completely impossible) to respond which would mean no trip anyway. I really hope my attorney is smarter than his, LOL.
Kids are out of school now, and of course the playdates have already begun. I also went and got my paraprofessional license last week, so that I can be an aide in the school now. It seems to pay as well as most office jobs around here but offers pension plan and better insurance. When the pay is divided out, I will make less, but I won't have to work summers and I will pay a ton less in day care. I would, probably, get some sort of job in the summer anyway, but I will cross that bridge when it comes. Just have to find a job first. Good use some good luck vibes on that. I really want to have a job before I leave for MA on the 19th. I just could not find a job where I could do everything for the kids myself plus work and possibly go to school. If I am in school, I can make alimony last longer too.
I will try to get on some more this week, but please say a prayer for the hearing, that the kids and I get some additional money coming in. It is just a relief hearing to make sure that he has to pay the bills and child support, so that he actually does. Plus a prayer for a job for me would not hurt either.
Thanks for all the support. Talk to you all soon.
