a blended life

I'm writing tonight for two equally important and pressing reasons: 1) I need to get that school pic off the front page and 2)I need to get a few tough things off my back. My aching, need to go to pilates this week, back. Something that most people don't know: getting divorced is a big process, not one single kaboom event. So far I've met with an attorney and hashed out the terms of the agreement with Brian. That took 5 weeks. He signed his part and Thursday I signed some of my part. Now the attorney has to ______ (who knows what these guys actually do, and maybe I should find out since it's costing me an arm and a few toes) and I sign some more on Monday.

Meh. Divorce papers are almost ready to be signed. That will also probably happen this week, then they go to the judge and we have another process after that involving waiting. Meh. Additionally, I'm eating entirely too many chocolate zucchini cupcakes this weekend. Double meh.
