We survived mediation. The Guardian ad Litem suggested that we come to a temporary agreement allowing the children to visit their mother in California for the summer, and we worked out the details with help of the mediator. I do…
We Got It!
We did, in fact, get the apartment we want. After the deposit check cleared our bank, we called to make sure—they just hadn’t called us for some reason. Odd on their side, in my opinion, but we’re still quite happy!…
Squee!
Happy Mothers Day! I must gloat. Not only did my sambear post a lovely entry that made me cry last night, I finally have my carpet steamer! A deep-cleaner of my very own! I am SO happy! While it may…

Net Is Back!
This is my first net fix since Saturday! At least sambear FINALLY found out (supposedly) what the problem was. Supposedly our account was disabled in their system. They don’t know why—it was paid in full. We strongly suspect that it…
Net Connection Still Unstable
So this is day three of the uncertain net connection. A tech is supposed to be here tomorrow (yes, on Sunday) to replace the cable modem, as it is supposedly the culprit. I do not, in all honesty, anticipate having…
