Well...

I know you're all dying to know. We just got out of court (it's 2pm here, we've been there since 9am)
I will write more on the details when im not on my phone but...

We won. We won we won we won!!!! We got more than we wanted too, and BM left hysterical.

Oh, DH AND BM both also have to serve 2 days in jail (10 day sentence, 8 days suspended) for violations of the court order. Basically the judge punished both of them and told them to get along.

Also, she is not allowed to file anymore petitions to modify. Ever.

As ready as I'll ever be

Got the rest of the pictures uploaded and picked them up at Walgreens. Another 200+ just in case. Got them all in a manageable order for the atty to be able to sort through, too. Went and bought a new outfit even though I already had one picked out. I needed some retail therapy.

Losing it.

I need to be asleep. I worked last night and have to tonight as well. The skids are here though, and even though I could nap on the couch, but I can't calm my brain down enough to even think about it. Instead I find myself consumed with researching and reading every article, and everything ever written on the Internet about dads winning custody, stepmothers testimony in custody hearings, what I should be wearing, what I should and should not say. I know all of these things. I have gotten everything ready for DH, we met with our lawyer, all of our ducks are in a row.

My stomach is in knots

I took the day off work today. Usually I like to get all of my working done on days we have the skids. Leaves for the least amount of interaction time possible, and while I hope this changes once everything is done and we can get back to "how things used to be", right now it's best for my OWN mental health and clarity that I'm not around them. I'm too bitter right now.

O/T: 7 days of sex?

So I'm watching this thing on lifetime about this 7 days of sex challenge for married couples whose sex life has gone down the tubes. I guess the premise is, force yourselves to have sex every day for 7 days and it will help bring the two of you closer. While I'm a newlywed, full disclosure here, DH and I were together for 3.5 years before we got married and um, well, we started of as (to use the term of the spammers) phuck buddies. Haha. So yeah, we don't make time for it like we should.

I know I'm SUPER late...

But I'm finally jumping on the monkey bandwagon. My phone wouldn't let me upload a picture from it to here but I'm finally on my desktop for a bit and found this hideous nurse monkey that I thought was oh so appropriate!! Haha. This is how I'm sure I look to BM while looking at her from across the court room. Hahaha.

Court is Monday, and other random thoughts.

Court is Monday. I'm freaking out. Mostly because this will have been the 7th attempt to go in front of a judge for this custody business. 6 freaking continuances. SIX!! But, as things stand at this moment we ARE in fact having the case heard Monday. They met for mediation in January of...2011!! The first court date was set for Feb something after that. Papers were filed in October of 2010!!! This is how long this has been going on, and making me sick.
