Anita,

I hope this email finds you well.  I am doing ok.  Getting some arts and crafts ideas on my phone to do with the kids this weekend.  Ella’s birthday is coming up next month so we are also going to pick out invitations.  Work is very busy and I really like my manager.

Going next Saturday with the realtor to look at more condos/houses.  Hoping I find something soon because the small apartment is getting a little old.  The divorce hearing was Tuesday.  It was over in 5 minutes.  It is crazy to think about it.  Really I felt nothing, just something to check off the list of things I need to take care of.  Changed by my last name at work and am busy with a to do list for all the bills and things I need to get changed.

Next month I’m going home for 5 days to visit with family; I have not been home since last August.  I will be staying with my parents.  My mom and I are not really talking but she and my father are in counseling both with each other and by themselves.  I believe her behaviors are somewhat complex based her staying married versus leaving.
