Ok gals I went into family court. with my mom's super charged crystals - 1 necklace and 1 bracelet. black cord mini skirt, black sweater, tights and shoes... I must admit... looked pretty darn good for what it's worth. X-wife had bypass surgery about 6 months before me and she still weighs about 200lbs... she is shorter than I am but her face is very round and she did look good compared to what she use to be... but I was expecting her to be much smaller at a year out. anyhoo... I got to go first... I just went on and on. He came over (my company) he thought i was on the phone on purpose...employment guy called when i was in there and gave me details of my salary and start date Feb 25th - and pay structure. I said no... and you know how long I've been waiting on this job... I brought up medical, daycare, that I'm willing to work with him but really I have not said a word when I was 3 months without and already taking $80 a month less because they are giving me what they can required by law. I was strong, confident... and I think everyone was completely shocked at that. We have been in and out of court for 13 years and never have i stood up for myself like today! He said after we talked this morning he was not going to bring up childcare but it was in his petition... I told him I would not have if he would have told me that... I think my words about that were "I can't afford more than $80 a week for childcare, and I am not getting full amount of child support, so how is he going to be able to pay more than $40 a week?" I was nuts but so strong. Then he came over and we had the best make up sex ever.. LOL I know TMI... so today was not as bad as I thought it was going to be... I never ever have stood up for myself like that... and for that I THANK MY VIOLET SISTERS FOR GIVING ME THE STRENGTH AND COURAGE OVER THE LAST YEAR TO FINALLY BELEIVE IN MYSELF!!! WITHOUT YOU ALL... I WOULD HAVE JUST BEEN IN THERE BEING BACKED INTO A CORNER... INSTEAD... I TOOK MY PURPLE POWER AND KICKED ASS!!!! Oh and the judge told him that "you know when your lawsuit is settled you will be back in here and taking care of the children as they are entitled to that".... OMG... This is my year!!!

Kat family court was this morning... but i have visitors right now so can't get totally into it... i looked great and totally stood up for myself

Michelle So glad to have you back and that you had such a great time. Pam - you still look great... tired and all Sooooooo I must have had all the good violet vibes because I kicked butt today... i'll fill you all in shortly

Hi guys Terry - I don't know my start day, the attorney is hard to track down and his hr woman called and said she is trying to get him to work with her... ughhhh but that is ok, at least i know it is mine. I am going to be working on a new team, Commercial Real Estate. I will be working as a "paralegal" in a sense doing research, closings, working on codes and surveys... and I will even have a clerk under me to do all the silly bs work that I use to do. It is a brand new team and department so we get to develop it! I'm so excited! and I will have someone to do the shit I've always had to... and I won't forget what that job was like... I did shitty tonight with food, completely out of control. I have family court in the morning... with him and me and the ex all at the same time. I am besides myself stressed out. He says he is just going to show his paystubs... butwants to claim daycare... BS... i only pay $80 a week when he is full time but she doesn't claim it and that is an understanding ... anywhere else is $175 a week, not worth the write off. But if he wants to pay the difference... then we can do it. anyway.. just venting... we have a lot of issues that are all going to come to a head tomorrow... I think i'm going to have a drink and pass out and try to get some sleep

LOL just got in from the dermatolgist scraped and burned that thing off my finger, it was kind of disguting yet interesting. Laura - I'm so sorry I was slightly hung over this morning. I hope you didn't get the ice there. I am just getting my self together and realized I didn't get back to you in my drunken stuper. Going to eat something... i'm suddenly starving... would love a cupcake

Hey Kat - did she ever take off the red shirt? LOL well, I guess if you are going to fall apart... better you do it now and not in May! Have I mentioned how excited i am. LOL

Ok gals, I'm booked... confirmed and can't change my mind.. LOL I am going to fly into SAT on Thursday night, I will arrive at 10:40 and will just take a cab to a hotel. Who is doing the early SAT pick up? What time will you be there? Can someone swing by the hotel to pick me up or should I take a cab to meet Jane and Tracy? we can do lunch gals while waiting for Judy and Pam! OMG I'm so excited but nervous because it is so real at this point. but since I'm leaving from albany and at 6pm, I would only need to leave work at 4 on Thursday and take Friday and Monday which I'm much happier about. Flights were getting more expensive by the day... and the ones i'm on are almost empty - i got to pick my seats.

I booked a flight on Delta ... yes girls I'm booked! slightly out of control but I will be good! going to post me schedule on the other thread and add my details with all yours holy crap... it's official i have to get on a plane.lol Denise.. how nice. i'm so excited for you... i'll be there to jump in the pool :wink2:

h e l l o :biggrin:

hi guys i just can't sleep, i have so much on my mind. I am so excited about getting paid enough money to survive that i just want to get all this stupid little shit paid off and the list is building in my head.. I have learned so much living on what little I have been, ya'll couldnt even imagine how hard it has been - and if I was not getting child support I would not have made it.... OH WAIT... there was 4 months without that too. So since I've lived without extras for so long, I'm going to continue to do it until SA and have everything straight. I also have to go to Family Court on Valentines day, and I'm a wreck about that. I don't know what they are going to lower it to but I just hate going there. We started making a deal and then stopped. But now that i start working in 2 weeks he can't say anything about childcare, and i'm trying to get medical reimbursement and just need to make sure that we can make it a temp adjustment because he will be done with classes and will be back to work this summer, and will have his settlement for his accident. needless to say... i'm wide awake. I'm going to finish watching Tin Cup and hope to fall asleep

night girls i am mentally exhausted... if you can only imagine.... plus now already hung over... and can't even drive to give my 2 weeks!! snow is out of control, I'm going to have to get up and deal with it.. but who cares... i have a great day job@!!!! night all... those are the best dancin' banannas ever love ya'll

hi all i got home, mom had a drink for me and now on 2 drinks i'm completely f'd up Thanks Kat... for letting everyone know. I need to figure out my flights so i can let them know tomorrow. I might come in on friday morning so i only miss 2 days. I have decided that I will fly back with Judy on Monday so I can be to work on Tues am. I'll post details later once i officially decide. Any hoo.. Laura... I got your message, i'm wasted... we are getting a huge storm up here in Albany...I don't know what tomorrow is going to bring other than a hangover! love ya all.. can't believe i'm going to have anormal lifer again!

Morning gals dd still has a horrible headache and her nose hurts so bad, but not broken so it is ok, i had her take some motrin to school with her so she can take them at lunch You guys will be the first to know about the job. I'm jumping every time my phone rings

OMG so went to group, no call ... then came home and took dd to the ER with her $50 co pay. man that ticks me off and I'm bringing that to family court with me on Valentine's day... anyway, she got nailed in the bridge of her nose with a basketball and is in so much pain i wanted to make sure she was ok... so all that to find out she has a bruise and will possibly have black eyes in the morning. I am so anxious about having this job confirmed... making me crazy.... can i just scream... so I just ate 2 tbs p-butter and sf ice cream... 400cals but at least had 21g protein. So I had 80g protein today and 900 cals. I'm going to lie down with dd, and hope to fall asleep, i'm still not caught up

ROFL... yup... that's me.. the movie star... well at least i'll be able to afford our trip to SA. LOL I'll keep you all posted!!!! good thing i'm not holding my breath... I'd be dead!

Employment agent guy just called.... he got an email that they were trying to nail down the details of my offer i'm going to have a nervous breakdown. LOL.... please, just tell me i got the job and i'll deal with details later!!!! I'm freaking out here!!!!!!!!!!

Hi gals Nothing, I'm going crazy, no phone calls at all... I guess it did take them 3 weeks to get it together to call me in and now 1 1/2 weeks with nothing and it took a full week before they even called my references. how stressful!

check check check... already on my way... thanks Judy. boy, even 10lbs of bloat I feel like complete crap and can feel it... how did I walk around with all that extra weight? It was like my son + 20lbs added to me. ttfn... off to my aunts

Well I made a huge mistake - got on the scale. I know I should not have but I really needed to see how bad it is... and yup... gained 10lbs this week. Is that even possible? My feet and hands are so swollen, so I hope most of it is just water, but either way, running to take my water pill and made a shake. I will do that 5 day plan, no choice I'm going to hit the gym on my way to support group tonight I am glad everyone is doing much better than me.

LMAO Kat - I was thinking the exact same thing. We are going to be smokin' hot then I'm still slightly nervous about flying and since I'm buying my ticket this week... but so excited it outweighs the anxiety right now.

Morning gals Pam - I was asked too, but have not responded. Kat- that is just so horrible about Rick's little accident, I hope he feels better soon - he needs to suck it up and just pay someone to clean the snow just 1 time. HUGS Well, I have a crazy day too... going to drink some coffee

LOL well Judy, when they call me tomorrow and give me a job offer.... I would love to share some spending money.. otherwise... it will take me 95days to save.

Hi all great link, I'm going to try that tomorrow. I have eaten shit the last 2 days and I'm so bloated. I have family court on Thursday and need to feel great tomorrow starts the gym again, no exception... so we will see just getting in from work and going to bed, have to get up to babysit in the morning night all

lol I would share with you guys I just want/need it all paid for so I can start saving my spending money. But when I get this job offer on Monday - all will be good and I'll have tons of spending money
