things have mellowed out around here. things with bk have begun to resolve, as the outlaws stepped in last week to offer their support in coming to a speedy settlement. i spoke for a while with my fil and was reminded of his integrity and his respect for me as a person, the mother of his grandchildren, and his son's best friend for a decade plus. with his help (and the support of my family) bk and i have decided to negotiate the final figure of our msa. we've never been in disagreement about the house (i'm staying), the cars (i keep mine, he'll keep the one we bought together), the parenting agreement (we wrote it together), or visitation (it's been fluid). we're within a few hundred dollars of each other (thanks to my lawyer for not informing me of the offer in JULY) and this will all be over before the new year. anyway, this is all consuming less of my brain function than it has since before he left...
knowing that a resolution is imminent has made me more forgiving of the role he desires to take. what really, can i do to change his mind? after soccer yesterday (he came at 9.40, d brought him a chair so he wouldn't steal ours!) i mentioned something about him coaching p's soccer team next season (soccer was/is his sport). he was sort of wishy-washy, when i thought he'd be all about it. i asked if he wanted to take the kids for a few hours, even though it wasn't his saturday. he declined. so, we rolled. *shrug*
the weekend was spend melting and refining chocolate at mcglincy (what i'll be calling our work space, m'kay?) it's nice to have a job that you can drink beer at ya know? ;) we had one MAJOR chocolate explosion using the new melanger. oh shit was it a pain to clean up. serious learning curve in starting a business but we should have most of the kinks worked out before october 13th (website launch, pay attention people).
d and i watched i am legend last night. we enjoyed it; i knew nothing about it whatsoever, so had no expectations... what did ya'll think? we also started to watch the brave one with jodie foster (playing on hbo). boy, two disturbing movies. no wonder i woke up and saw a man in a hooded sweatshirt standing next to my bed. i screamed and woke d up. yes, really and this is not the first time. austin, ask this man to leave, okay?
