Haay Halloweeners.
I am taking the kids out tonight after presenting on the Day of the Dead in Franny’s class this afternoon. Pancreas damage, ho. It is a busy day…people to dinner and such. But I guarantee that there will be an assload of MF Diary style pics really soon.
ALSO. Tomorrow kicks off the beginning of the Second Annual NaChoPoMo! I am going to work up some new graphics and I was thinking about designing t-shirts that I will sell for cost and shipping. Would anyone even want a NaChoPoMo shirt? I dunno. And I am not going that Cafe Press route either. Stupid lady sizes fit on my LEG.
ALSO part two. Babydaddy got a third interview for a major local company and it will be PERMANENT and with BENEFITS. And it is his BIRTHDAY, today. He can’t remember how old he is, but I love him anyway.
ALSO part seventy-eight. I am getting a essay published in a book for charity. With my friend! I wrote for a good cause. What is this world coming to, when I am using my powers for good?
In Other News: You Don’t Know the Meaning of the Word “Mediation,” Asshole
This is too good. New email. I cannot stop excerpting. I have lost it. I will use the genius of I Can Has Cheezburger to help me express my true feelings.
While I am moving, my intention is not to give up time with F….
Only while moving, eh? So once you get there it will be different?
…but to change the format of our parenting plan. I’ve already compromised by giving up time with her.
In fact, I don’t understand your past exchanges, because one day you want to “hammer this out” and the next you have to go to mediation without any explanation of your points of disagreement. I’ve already done what a mediator is going to do, which is list our areas of disagreement…but remember, a mediator will expect compromises on both sides.
As far as your fundamental argument, which I assume (because you have not given any succinct description of it) is that you don’t feel you have to compromise…the role of a mediator is to facilitate compromise & mutual agreement. I think you should call and ask questions of a mediator before we pay 50/50 for a service which may not fullfill your expectations.
I’ll research some mediation services & get back to you…I remain open to working this out ourselves if you decide you can.

I still like Camel-Humping-Dick-Bag better than Englebert Humperdink. It seems to fit him better.
Hee hee. I LIKE it when you use your powers for evil. SRSLY what a passive aggressive freak. OH YES I DID
Sounds like my friend’s ex. Everything is always her fault!
i has cheezburger is my new cure for depression, excess build-up of time, fleas and urinary tract issues.
Someone is scared of Mr Mediator, and methinks it is not Mistress Asshole.
DEFINITELY. GET. THE. MEDIATOR. Definitely. If for no other reason than to make him behave like a person.
Sorry ’bout the caps. I heartily approve of your use of LolCats to express your feelings. Have you seen lolsecretz? Awesomeness.
Oh, also…

Emily! You are special! I have not seen a URL get through mah filters in yonks.
“I’ve already done what a mediator is going to do”
O? RLY? U iz law-yrr?
lol U win.
you are my new favorite person.
really.
Wait, wait, so:
1. He’s moving
2. He wants to change the custody arrangement because he’s moving
3. The new custody arrangement involves his having less quantity time with F, but also involves your having less quality time with F
4. You’re not happy with his suggestion
5. He seems unable to produce a suggestion that satisfies you
6. Therefore you want to have an outside party help you two to reach an arrangement that both of you will be okay with.
A. Since he’s not moving out of state, he has no right to make any change at all to the current arrangement.
Am I right so far? Because if so, it seems Exceedingly Decent of you to even offer a mediator and consider changing the system. Right?
Okay so then let us pause for a moment and count our blessings, starting with your not having to share anything other than custody with this man. I can’t imagine what doing the dishes in a house shared with him must have been like.
Maybe he’ll choke on his ignorance. Hopefully.
Anne: you’re right, as far as I understand. I would add one thing…he’s not just *not* leaving the state, he’s not even leaving the COUNTY. But no. He is making Sacrifices and Compromises.
Making Sacrifices and Compromises–it is his way.
=P
My babydaddy called my the other day wanting to know my benefits coverage for our son’s insurance. I told him I wasn’t going to casually share our insurance information. Specifically he asked whether I had our son covered for accidental death and dismemberment, upon which I called him morbid and told him again I wasn’t going to share our insurance information.
We should totally hang out and share stories on our X-Feds.
Also, we just went through a really nasty mediation.
SRSLY. Email me.
