I am just on to update what is happening in my life. The court matter resumed on Halloween and like some big joke, lasted only five minutes and then got postponed to January. I was so furious with my lawyer that I saw him do everything in his power to try to keep me from going "postal" on him. I wrote him a very stern letter about my money and time being wasted and made it quite clear what I want yet again, out of this whole matter. Later in the week, I then speak to a mutual friend of my ex-husband, and she leads me to believe that he has been telling she and her husband about us getting along better. When I tell her about court, she is so shocked, she really thought things were improving.Why is he misleading them? I have no idea? However, other things are going on, and yet again, I am ending the year feeling at odds with my best intentions when the year began. I thought that I would have closed off some projects from last year by now? I thought that I could say that I had saved a chunk of money by now and could finally see to some pressing things that I want done as well as still see my way clear to say that I have solid savings. Yet again, another year of working all the time, no vacation. In fact, I have not taken a vacation in six years! So why am I not financially stronger? Something has got to give. Also I cannot afford to think negatively about what I want to accomplish now. The year did not go as I had hoped, but give up, I just can't. I have to believe that something better is on the horizon for my little one and I.
