As some of you know, things have been a little hectic in the IAKG/kleclere household lately. In the last nine days:

1. On 9/15/04, I left the only job I've held since moving to Iowa nearly six years ago.

2. On 9/16/04, I started a new job as assistant to one of the attorneys I worked for previously, who took a big step and has opened her own practice, and all of the uncertainties that go with that.

3. On 9/17/04, I closed on the house we'd been trying to buy for two months, with roadblocks cropping up from all around.

4. On 9/22/04, I found out that my *very* soon-to-be ex had been in a auto/pedestrian accident...without insurance...and he hadn't gone to the county treasurer's office and transferred the car over to his name from mine, even though I'd signed the title and other documents and given them to him on August 7th. Yep, I could be sued, eventually.

5. Yesterday, kleclere and I replaced a car. His had died a few weeks ago, and, because he works so far away, I'd been having to get rides to and from work in the meantime.

6. My ex should sign the Decree today, and I should be (finally) divorced no later than Monday.


Have any of you ever felt that you'd been hit from all sides at once? How do you handle that? It's hard to keep a positive attitude and grip on what's important and what's not when you can't seem to stand on solid ground long enough. Any advice?

You're getting closer to putting all this behind you... usually the best things in life are the things we have to work our asses off to achieve. Hang in there!
