What a pleasant day

I was concerned as to how Sandy was going to react when she found out that she was going to have to do some additional writing. But to her credit she did far, far better then I could have ever hoped. She took the news with grace and spent the entire day writing her papers. Even after I told her she could stop until we were ready to eat, about half an hour, she went back and wrote more. Very good Sandy, a round of applause to you!

On a different note, as some of you may or not be aware, I have taken my ex back to court on abuse charges. I did some checking on-line to see if anything else had been done to the case over the past few months. Well nothing will be done on that until Jan 27. That is the deadline when we have to deposit $500 to the courts to pay for the GAL (Guardian Ad Lidem) That is the person who is assigned by the courts to investigate allegations of abuse. I don't have that kind of money and I know he won't pay his half, so I can only hope that the courts will waive the fee for me since I have already filed and have been given permission to proceed as a poor person. I also hope that the GAL will do her investigation without the fee. Anyway, upon doing this research I discovered that step-mom has a 5 grand judgment outstanding with a credit union, two speeding tickets within two weeks of each other and he has a $600 judgment against him along with a misdemeanor illegal disposal of wildlife. All told they have 6 different court cases without counting our divorce and visitation issues. One has to wonder if the courts will look at his history and clamp down even more. I am not going for custody yet, but after seeing this I just may go for custody sooner then I had originally figured. We shall see what happens in the next few months.
