But I Don't Like Spam

Very busy day today, and many things to blog about. But it is 1:00 AM, and I am determined to have an early night!

Our realtor visited today to talk with us about selling the house, should we need to do that. We went through all of our money stuff, too. Here's what it all boils down to: I'm gonna starve.

Simon is trying to persuade me to stay, citing the "two can live almost as cheaply as one" principle. According to the figures he was showing me, I will need to become an escort if I want to afford even a weekend in Lava. He asked me if I like hash from a can. If I wanted to deny our children extra-curricular activities. Says I can't afford to rent anything, because I'll be paying half the mortgage as well.

Funny thing, though, is that I know women who are divorced, and they are managing to eat real food! I'm having a hard time with the disconnect. I am also having a hard time staying awake. Good night.

I'm trying to figure out why he thinks you will be paying half the mortgage, instead of selling the house (or him buying you out), taking the equity, and living quite well in a snug, maintenance-free condo or townhome with the kids and the cats.

Although I think you could be quite successful as an escort. Maybe ask that chic who was my predecessor.

@ Kristen: He would like to buy me out. He wants to keep the house, and I'd like him to keep it. But if he can't get the money together, he will either have to: pay me as much as he can and owe me the rest; or we sell the house. That might take a while, and I don't want to keep living there with him - I'm ready to move. I was thinking "apartment" for a few months, til I get my downpayment money. When he says I can't afford rent and half the mortgage, he means that, while the house is for sale, I'm still part owner and would be obliged to make part of that payment. I think he's probably right. My share of the mortgage would be about $600...then rent for a 2 BR apartment would be about $800. I know that's a bigger share of my monthly income than I would recommend our students spend on housing...

A pickle for sure.

And your predecessor told me once that I was cute and fun enough to be a good escort, but a LITTLE on the old side... LOL!

Do you have a good attorney? My sister-in-law totally got screwed in her divorce; I could find out who her ex's attorney is.

Oh Kate, I didn't know you were splitting up. I am sad for you. You have gone through so much...

Keeping a light lit for all of you.

@ Kristen: I have (former volunteer)Chad S. He's a pit bull. I don't want to be mean to Si, so I have put a shock collar on him. Chad, I mean.

I hate it when I decide to take a hiatus from my blog and others because I'm so exhausted!! Then to my shock I come back to many things I never saw coming.
Girl I had no idea you where facing a divorce! I'm so sorry for all this truly I am. Ohhh goodness.
