Big things, much anxiety.

 is it just me, or is the summer screaming by. This summer has been alright so far. The weather has been awful, rain, fog, rain, more fog. Very few days of good weather. The days that we have had though have been gorgeous. The record shop has been doing well though, and am making slow and steady preparations to vendor the comic convention in October. just need a few more large orders and I think i'll have enough inventory for the full three day weekend. Regardless, it will be a good time spent with the little guy and friends. 

Our Florida trip is fast approaching, we leave PWM on Saturday at 5:30 in the morning. After the last flight fiasco the thought of traveling makes me want to puke. However, I am looking forward to spending time with my parents. No sooner will I get back and my trip down to Georgia will be here before you know it. I'm already exhausted thinking about it. 

Things are going well around the house. It's busy, and there isn't enough time in the day to get anything done, but it slow and steady wins the race. I'm trying to relax and not be so uptight about the little things. The boys seem to be doing better this go around, they still bicker, but it's not like it used to be, and the general feeling and attitude coming from them about the situation feels different this time around. I think it finally clicked. 

This morning was rather stressful. I've been filling out paperwork to restructure the 50/50 agreement that the Ex-wife and I have. We have been doing 50/50 time spent and expenses, but we have been doing half week on and half week off. This has been a bit of a concern from the little as he never has a chance to fully settle and feels like he is bouncing around all the time. Because I have him on the weekends he also never really has any quality time with his mom to do things. Thus, the restructure. I'm trying to get 1 week on & 1 week off. This will give him the ability to settle a bit, and also give him some time with his mother on the weekends (two weekends a month.) I filled out 90% of it, and she was dragging her feet on giving me her financials so I could fully finish the paperwork, so I decided to just mail it to her direct, and then filed a copy with the court so we can do mediation. This was a big step for me, and the anxiety this morning was big. I'm proud of myself for doing it, and am expecting blowback, cause, well, that's what she does. fingers crossed.

In other news, I did a big boy adult thing again. The laundry machine shit the bed, so I took the plunge and bought a new front load washer and dryer. Should be here tomorrow. I'm pretty excited.
