Discovery Questions!

I just finished working on discovery questions for my divorce. Yes, I have been working on them for 11 hours now and only taking a break to go to the bathroom once and go to dinner a second time. The questions are so time consuming and might I add ridiculous. I'm being asked about jobs I had in high school. I'm not just talking about where I worked, I'm talking where I worked, how long I worked there, who my supervisor's were, address, phone number, pay rate, job title, work schedule, etc. HELLO! I graduated 11 years ago, therefore meaning I worked at those places almost 15 years ago in some cases. Not to mention the fact that I worked three jobs and went to high school, so there was a lot of over lapping. GEES! Oh and I love the questions about my monthly expenses and thrown in there is a question about how much I spend a month on liquor. Anyone who really knows me, knows I'm not a big drinker! I hardly, if ever, drink! They need to ask my ex that question! I have better and more important things to do with my time then to waste it on petty questions that mean nothing as to the well being of my daughter. How about asking her father a few questions pertaining to his living arrangements and why he can take his girlfriend out but he can't pay his child support. How about ask him why he wants to harrass me one minute and then try to be nice the next thinking it's going to get him somewhere! I'm really getting tired of this system we have. I filed a complaint with the child support office and was told I would be called in the next 6-8 weeks with an appointment with a case worker. It's been 9 weeks now and do you think I have heard a word? I realize there are a lot of dead beat dads out there, don't get me wrong, and I don't think I'm any better than anyone else, but if I'm told 6-8 weeks, I like it to be that! I'm just saying! Excuse me for rambling, but I have been working on these questions for hours and it is after midnight and I am very angry right now. In addition to these 28 questions, his attorney has also sent me a request for the production 18 documents. Documents that I have no clue how I am suppose to come up with because I don't know about you, but I shread things after about two years. She is asking for our joint bank account information. Well, I shredded all of that after the account was closed, why was I going to need that? Paystubs from 2004, again shredded except for the last two years. As for taxes I do keep the last 5 years of those, but the ex has them and refuses to produce them. Again, what do I do? This is the most annoying process I have ever gone through in my life and I beleive I will never marry again, for the simple possibility of divorce. I'm sure none of you want to here my complaining so I'm going to try to go to bed now. Please pray for me! I'm going to need all the prayers I can get!

Life has been busy!

I haven't had much time lately to write which greatly disheartens me! I have been busy with my daughters first birthday, school, the scare of my grand-father's illness, and of course my ongoing battle with my ex!

On a good note, there was my daughter's first birthday bash! Boy was it great! It was a ladybug theme! That morning, my dad woke and was reading his daily devotional and low and behold it was about ladybugs! How amazing! The cake, made by Publix, was adorable! I have to say I did a magnificent job with the party, thanks to the help of family! Ashlyn seemed to really enjoy the day and looked adorable! I'll add pictures later!

School is going well, but we are really behind on the syllabus and it's causing a lot of catch up! I have a quiz every class and a test in two weeks. I have a big paper due by the 15th. It's just crunch time, nothing major! I really like my professor though, he seems to know what he's talking about and seems to be willing to help us out the best he can.

As for my grand-father, I'm so glad he's home! He gave us quite a scare. I'm still very upset that I was unable to go see him because my jerk ex couldn't answer his phone or return a phone call. He has a lot of nerve! I really love my grand-father with all my heart and want him to know that I hope I find a man just like him next go round! I really messed up the first time!

Then, there's my never ending divorce! Now the jerk is fighting me for joint custody! How can you not pay child support, not have a stable job, or a stable living environment and want to even attempt to get joint custody? The expensive of this divorce now is astronomical, not to mention ridiculous! Need I say more!

Well, I'm tired right now so I'm going to bed but I hope to drop a few lines later! Love to all of my followers!
