here is what I did for me today...
I called a cleaning service. Someone is coming tomorrow to give me a price and she is going to START. Now, I found myself cleaning today, you know, not just picking up as we all have to do but cleaning. I guess I was cleaning for the cleaning lady, LOL. I stopped myself.
I called the preschool that I had my daughter on teh waiting list for. Because their summer program is starting in 3 weeks, there isn't a wait for summer. So, in three weeks she is going to start going three times a week from 9-3. I called my babysitter and booked her for the next three weeks, tuesday and thursday mornings. I am going to do whatever it is I feel like doing on those mornings. If I choose to run errands alone, I'll run errands alone. If I choose to sit myself on the beach and stare at the water, I'll sit and stare at the water.
I called my attorney and asked him about the hold up. He said he'd be ready to schedule a court date within th enext week. The courts seem to be about four weeks backed up. So, I should have a court date within the next five weeks.
What I just listed above is doable for the next five weeks.
I also thought about how I haven't remained detached. I faltered on that being in the same house with AH. So, today is a new day. I did things to improve my situation and they look brighter! I took a deep breath and am going to regain detachment or whatever it is I had going on for a while there, LOL. He's even called a few times today and I didn't answer, he drags me down, makes me feel heavy and nothing could be all that important anyway.
yay for today, can't wait for tomorrow.
Thanks for the wake up call, I feel much better. I'm done complaining for now and am going to get busy living while solving frustrations, not sitting in them.

Holy cow, please send the cleaning lady my way because I'm in a sty right now....xoxo
Doesn't it feel good to finally get things moving in the right direction? I might take a cue from you and start doing something for me today as well. Thanks for the inspiration.

I'm so glad Sunshine that you did something for the cleaning situation. That will lift a big weight that you've carried on your shoulders for too long. You enjoy those mornings all to yourself. You absolutely deserve them! 
You're moving along fine and keeping your sanity too.
