1. Have you met other members of the Triplet Connection? Not yet -- but almost!

2. Do you declutter your home on any regular basis? Occasionally build a fire break and do a control burn.

3. Have you made plans for spring break? Well I have two Spring breaks -- the one at the University (Week of March 15th) and the Boys Spring break (week of April 19th). For the first one, dw (?) has custody of the kids that week, so I just called a friend and I might visit him -- he lives in Yosemite Valley. Some R&R, photographing, and doing some prelim work ahead of a workshop I will teaching there starting April 19...which is the Boys Spring break -- and my week with the Boys. So I might be taking them to Yosemite to hang out during my workshop.

4. How many magazines do you subscribe to? four or five, I think.

5. What's for dinner? Rice, veges and leftovers and some fish.

Well I knew it already and it has been confirmed -- can't trust the dw about anything concerning the divorce. She said that she just hired the lawyer to write up the paperwork. So guess who I had to face the judge with this morning -- her lawyer, of course. Well, it went not too bad, I think. I had asked to stay in the house until the property settlement, but did not count on it happening. The Judge did give me until April first to find a place -- dw not happy to have to put up with me in the same house...the Boys like it.

Found out why I need to get a lawyer ASAP! Nasty people.

I survived the first court appearence, perhaps lost a little ground, but nothing I wasn't prepared to give up. But the person I lived with for 25 years is no longer a known quantity. But I have supportive friends and family, and that counts incredibly much.

Complete agreement on custody (physical and legal), but there will be a battle, unfortunately over property division and probably spousal support. I want to be able to have a safe home for the boys when I have them...not some cheap rental in a bad area of town. No matter what happens, I believe I can keep myself positive and accept any outcome. I am afraid dw will fight and get bitter if things go more my way, which will make it tougher for the boys.

Finding a lawyer is my top priority this week.
