A snowy day

It's actually snowing here. A fluke the County Deputy relayed to me when he issued a summons this morning for yet another court date from his ex-wife. She wants back child support from when husband had had surgery and couldn't work for a while. No problem, she deserves the child support but the problem that I have with it is that he continued to pay child support on his daughter for 7 months while she lived with us. If that wouldn't have happened, we could have payed half the arrears with the money she wasn't entitled to at that time. Just another day dealing with some ex's.

So don't become an ex. It's a hard life on everybody. My daughter is coming in with my ex mother-in-law today and we are trying to figure out how she can spend time with all her family. I really hate this situation. It is hard on me, on my ex husband and on her. We are all very friendly in our situation, hence the earlier comment 'dealing with some ex's', but it is just the logistics of the whole thing. I live 1 1/2 hours from her dad. I love the family I have now and God put me with my wonderful husband but I still mourn the demise of my original family. Don't divorce if you can possibly help it. And 9 times out of 10 we can help it.

I am kind of snowed in so I can't get all my work done today. I need to take measurements on a job but the weather is not cooperating for that. So I am cleaning house and hopefully I can go to my friend's house who is helping me with my powerpoint presentation for the Home and Garden Show. I can't waste a day these days.

My son and three of his friends came over for dinner on Sunday night. We had a really good time. I wish they would come more often.

I appreciate my friend who emailed me to say she had read my blog. It inspires me to keep blogging.
