Hubby Is Back; Debt Collector Taken Care Of and It's Raining!!!

My husband is baaaaccccckkkk!!! They arrived yesterday night. Despite being annoyed with him not calling, I truly missed him. And I was right about the drinking, my cousins did take him out and so did my dad. Everyone reported back that he handled himself well and that he knew when to cut himself off. Which makes me proud!!

Today I had a bad day. My check was less than $400. I won't be able to pay for some things we need bc insurance, lawyer, and tickets had to be paid first. I'm glad I bought all that extra formula and diapers last pay check or we'd be in some deep crap. Then, I got another call from the debt collector...at work! I've been trying to settle or at least get some of my fees waived because it was not my fault that I went over, it was the companies. I managed to get what I wanted and to lower the payments!!! So even though I'm still in debt, at least they're giving me a break.

And to end my day, it is raining!!! Lightning and thundering too! I love it! It makes me happy. The sound of the clinking on the metal roof, the way the room lights up, and those big rumbles; got to love a good storm! Emery's sleeping right through it, LOL!!!

Ok, well, I'm off to bed! Tomorrow is my half day and I want it to get here as soon as possible.

Single Mommy Mode

My mother and grandmother left for Lubbock bright and early this morning and won't be back till tomorrow night. Regardless of her helping me out a bit, I have been doing the "single mommy" thing for a few days now. I would like to just say "To all the single moms out there, I give you props! It is hard work doing EVERYTHING alone." But these past few days have made me come to realize that even though it would be hard if my husband ever did leave me, I could do this. Anyone who knows my husband will know that this is a good realization for me.

My husband has been gone to Georgia (with my dad to help relatives move back to Texas), since Thursday. I have received a total of 3 text messages (none were from today). All but one were one-word replies. My mother talks to my dad at least 3 times a day! And that's him calling her!! They won't be back till Tuesday, and my husband hasn't even bothered to call!! I am official proof that girls don't always end up marrying someone that resembles their dad.

So it would appear that my husband doesn't really miss us. I tried texting him today and he didn't bother replying. He hasn't called either. You would think that if you were to be gone a whole week, you'd at least start missing your daughter. Maybe call your wife to see how she's doing, especially if she's having to stay alone. But, with my luck, he's at the bar having shots with my cousins, perhaps my dad as well, and he's having himself a good ole time.

So I have a question: If I'm the one busting my ass, why is HE getting to go out and have a vacation?
