Today is going to be a day to test my patience, I can tell. Started out in a good mood and even walked to the post office instead of driving.
The phone won't stop ringing. One of the agents screwed up and sent a contract that was not signed for a house sale. I am the one who has to fix this as she has another job and can't do it. I had to track the guy down (on his way to NY) and get an email from him so I could email it to him, get him to sign it and get it to the other agent before 5:00 today. On top of this, I have my normal Friday work to do.
Last night I get a call from my cousin who is separated from her H and both have OW and OM now. Seems when it was just him with OW he was ok, now that she has OM he is seeing red. Told her that he wasn't going to pay house payment anymore and that why doesn't she just marry OM and let him pay for it. He doesn't want OM at HIS house. Complaining that she doesn't have the kids call him enough. (I told her he could call them) They are 3 and 9 years old. I told her to set a time when they would call each night and if he wasn't there then too bad. He moved 8 hours away from them and doesn't see them as much. I think everything is just starting to get to him.
I just hope they can come to some kind of terms. Their house payment is over $3000 a month. She can not afford it and I don't want to see it go to foreclosure. I was shocked when I heard the amount. I can't imagine having to spend that much on a house each month.
She apologized for calling me and ranting and I told her anytime. I know what it is like to need to get things off my chest. I laughed and told her not to take it the wrong way but listening to her made my situation look good. We had a good chuckle over that.
I was so afraid H was going to be mad at me today. I called him this morning to remind him to pick up youngest daughter this afternoon and left him a message. Then when oldest daughter realized she would be coming to town, she said she would bring her sister with her and their dad could pick her up from my work. So, I called and left a message again.
Five minutes before H was supposed to pick her up from my work, she decides she wanted to stay with me. I was not going to call him again for fear he would get mad. When he pulled up, I went out the back door of the office and told him she wanted to stay. He laughed. (I WAS SO RELIEVED!!) He said that was fine a couple of times. Smiled at me and left. That smile made my heart melt. Gives me something to remember for the weekend.
It is so hard to see him pull away and to know I won't see him again for a few days. I miss him so much but am not going to dwell on that. I am going to think about the fun times we are going to have when he "wakes up" from this terrible crisis he is in. Until then............
