Divorce is final

What more can I say.... 3/24 is the date that it became official. Wow.

Divorce

Jesse & I would have been married 8 years this coming tax day (4/15/2010). We just signed the final papers this past Friday, hard to believe it. I have mixed feelings about the whole thing. Happy its finally resolved (all the details), but understandbly (I believe) a bit sad about how things turned out. Let me be clear, I still think it was the right decision, but it certainly has it's expected (and unexpected) consequences. The mediator said it will be 2-4 weeks before its official. Wondering what the chances are that the papers will be stamped as final exactly on 4/15?

All in all, things have gone as good as one could hope for. Jett is understandably sad - he says he doesn't like that he always has to miss one of us. But as far as these things go, it couldn't be any better. Jesse and I coordinate, very closely, how we want to raise & discipline Jett. We have even been taking a parenting class together. BTW, I recommend this course to any parents. It's wonderful and so worth the expense. http://www.incaf.com/.  More later...

Was a lesson learned?

Jett fell out of the car today when attempting to get in. Well, more like I was trying to convince him to sit down in the car seat - he was standing in it. He fell out of the car, landed on the garage concrete floor. Nothing broke the fall -- slammed his head. He screamed, then immediately got really sleepy. That earned him a ride in the ambulance to Children's Hospital. Thankfully, he's OK. No concussion. Dr. thinks that the immediate sleepy, wimpery state was due to crying too hard, then really heavy breathing. Apparently that can cause kids to easily hyperventilate and appear to pass out - or in Jett's case, close to passing out.

Paramedics kept him in his car seat, strapped him down, including putting a neck brace on him, and then strapped the entire thing to a gurney.

Lesson learned? That he got to miss school. Riding in an ambulance is fun. So is the hospital. Oh, and he got to hang out with mommy & daddy at the same time.
