What this blog is about...

It's official. After a bit of technical difficulty, I am finally online and blogging to support all of us who have made it through a divorce or are getting divorced. This blog will flow out of my crazy life with my ex, things I've learned from others and lots of stories to share. The best advice I've gotten is from others who have lived and learned and are a lot smarter than me.

Topic for today...co-parenting annoyances.

My daughter came home from school today after having been with her dad last night. Quick sidebar - her dad lives with his girlfriend and her two kids. I was helping my daughter with her homework and noticed that both my ex and his girlfriend signed their names on the homework assignment page under Parent Signature. Obviously, it annoyed me b/c of the obvious. But, after a bit of thinking, who cares really. The teacher knows who my daughter's mom is and I know, so oh well if the girlfriend thought that she should sign.

Lesson learned...When I sit back and put some thought to why I'm feeling strange about things, it's for a small reason and not at all worth worrying about. Life is just too short.

To your new life...
Claire
