Goodwill and such...

My lawyer advised me to try and work on a deal with Michael. She said retracting my request for support is ok as long as we know what we want instead. So, I will walk up to the court house tomorrow morning and give them a letter to do just that.

I'm trying to trust that God's hand must be in this...as nothing else has worked so far. He is to have his lawyer draw up a proposal and he will give it to my lawyer for us to review. After that, we will have it made legal by some Westmoreland County magic of some sort.

I'm hoping this will happen quickly because everything else I need to do is dependent on this paperwork being done.

My lawyer says it's an act of goodwill on our part and we should give it a try.

ok

It's not exactly how I expected things to go down, but I'm willing to try to work with it and see it through.

I know everyone will say I'm insane but she thinks it's the right thing to do. I gotta trust her...and him.

And you know, there's a lot to be said for goodwill and all that. You just hang tight and do what you're advised. The only time I would suggest going against this is if you felt a horrible gnawing gut-wrenching urge that it was wrong. (That, for the record, is not the same as having to hurl.) I don't think you're insane at all. I think you're a loving mom doing what she must to.

Only gnawing I have is about the van...and that is a personal issue as opposed to a real one. Thanks for the encouragement. I feel, if she says we should work on a deal, then we should. I'll be relieved when this whole step is over.

Yeah, I'll be relieved for you. I'm on pins and needles waiting with you. And good faith is gonna look dang good to a judge if it comes down to it. You just keep on. You're doing what's right. I have a bike. Want that?!

Only if you buy me sexy tight bike shorts with a padded bum so my butt doesn't hurt on long rides. ;)
