End Game
We're at the endgame of this process. I'm very excited and cannot wait for this to be done. I think I have said it many times during the last few months, but I can see close to a light at the end of the tunnel.
Thanks to KarmaGirl - She has kept me sane through this last few weeks. And probably to MediaGirl - even though she disappeared from the face of the earth for a while.
Last issues: Non-compete. The ex-CEO is trying to get a job with a competitor, flat-out. Something that will be in competition for what we do. End of story. Now she has something she is looking for, I get to be the person in the cat seat. I keep asking myself - is it bad to have all the cards and power. Normally, I have to look for ways to make sure everyone has a win-win. Divorce is not that arena. I have done things, while not illegal, at least they were not consistent with who I was previously. But it is definitely a trial by fire. Since we (as a society) have no reason to spend all of our time with one person, because we are not tied to the land or jobs as we once were, we now get this challenge to our souls.
Other that that, the kids are wonderful and very well-behaved this week. They usually are, but there have been very few arguments when I have been around. They listen, they do what they need to and we get done what we have to get done in reasonable time. Big guy - He still cries when he doesn't get what he wants, but he is learning that I won't listen to it. Girly-girl - Gosh, she is so close to reading it's not even funny......
This actually is the CEO's last day at work. She's dragging it out, but it is what it is. Hopefully we will get these last issues done and worked out. More as it comes!
