This month has turned out to be truely crummy! It started with my hubby getting a ruling on a court date he had with his ex over child support. He was out of work, not by choice, for 2 months, and got behind. The judge decided, with much help from his ex (she has taken him to court now around 70 times, give or take), that he needs to pay off the child support in full (around $3000) by Nov. 21, or face 90 days in jail. Now what kills me is, the state had no problem with him being a little behind, he already has a new job, and the money is once again being taken out of his pay. The only reason the ex took him to court was to destract from him being upset that his 14yr old daughter is being allowed to date a 23yr old man.... Where is the justice in this world???
Yesterday, something funny, although painful happened to add to my month. I was shopping with two of my kids, not really paying much attention to where they were pushing me. They ended up crushing my finger in between the shopping cart and the freezer handle. Who says shopping isn't dangerous!!! lol I always knew there was a reason I hated shopping. Oh, my pinky finger, it's broken! lol
Today I got a phone call from my Mom. My grandmother is taking her last breaths as we speak. Unfortunately I live 7 hours away, and since we have but one car, I can't go be with her. We used to be very close. However, since my divorce with my first husband, she was very upset with me, and I haven't talked to her in about a year, maybe a bit longer. I am feeling a bit guilty, but know the fault is not totally mine.
Let's hope that October ends quickly, and November brings some peace and happiness. Thanks for letting me vent!!
