Another Day1

Well, so goes another day. I got my beautiful daughter back from her father this afternoon so I can now rest knowing she is home safe with me. I love her more than anything in this world!

I have a full day planned tomorrow! We have to finish up her birthday party planning. I'm so excited about her birthday but I'm a little nervous as well. I'm having it at Granny White Park so the kids can stay entertained with the playground. But I'm having a little trouble deciding what kinds of party favors to have and what kinds of games to play! She's going to be the big ONE!

I can't believe my little girl is growing up! She's such a little lady, hence my calling her my ladybug! Well, I don't have much to say right now, because my brain is a little fried after my History test this evening! Maybe more tomorrow night!

D*I*V*O*R*C*E

As you all may know, I'm going through a divorce. It was suppose to be simple and take about 10 hours, but now 8 months later I'm still nowhere closer to ending this horrible marriage.

My ex, the one who wanted the divorce in the first place, left my daughter and me on July 3, 2008. He continues to refuse to sign papers, has paid a total of one months worth of child support, takes my daughter around these nasty girlfriends (I have been told they look like they are strung out on crack), has overnight guest of the opposite sex when my daughter is there, has lied about who he lives with, has dark tint on the windows in the front of the house he is staying in, and still he gets away with it all. Which, by the way, most of these are in the temporary parenting plan as not being allowed!

I have been so reasonable, I have allowed him to see his daughter almost every time he's asked even though he asks at the last minute, I have dropped the part about infidelity in the marriage in the divorce papers, I dropped getting alimony, and still he insists on being a jerk. He harasses me constantly by threatening to not bring my daughter home when he is suppose to and so on. Yet, he still continues to get away with it. My attorney, has charged me over $5000 now and I'm not seeing what I am paying her for. Now, before she will do any more for me, she expects me to come up with $500 a month to pay her. I'm struggling enough as is!

I think our judicial system is a crock! The people who do good are the ones who are constantly punished, while those who do bad get a slap on the hand and told "don't do that again, or else". Or else what? We don't enforce our laws, we allow more chances than we should, and we only care about the sake of our reputation. It's time to start doing what we say we are going to do!

So, I have no idea when my divorce will be final and I can move on with my life. For now, I have to be stuck here in limbo not knowing what's going to happen next. While my ex has now hired his own attorney to just drag this on further!
