Hi everyone.

It's been a long week. Work was not as bad as I thought it would be. \:\) I have been in training all week and took a test today and got a 97%. Not bad, but I missed 3 questions that I should have known. Grrr....

STBX called last night to talk to the girls. I had to tell him something so I talked to him too. I asked him how the job search was going. The whole time I was talking to him I could hear ow in the background, he was very short and rude. To the point that I told him that it really wasn't necessary to be mean to me. That I hadn't talked to him about his job in about 6 weeks and I was just wondering how it is going, if there are any opprotunities or not. He said "when I know something I will tell you." I said okay, bye, and hung up.

Not 5 minutes later he called again. I told D9 to answer. She did and said he wanted to talk to me. This time he was nicer. He asked if he could call me in the morning to talk. I told him I would be at work but I would call him on a break. Then I asked if he couldn't talk now. He said no, he had to go.

I called him this morning after I took my test. He was nice this time and was explaining that he thinks he might have a couple of job offers this next week (God willing) and he needed me to be patient and he will call me when he knows something for sure. He also said that he wants me to let him know how much I need each month to pay the bills, be able to buy clothes for me and the kids, food, that kind of stuff. He said he doesn't want us to lose the house, he doesn't want that to happen to us, to me or to the kids. He gave me a number that I think would be plenty, I didn't say that yet though. That is IF he gets a job that makes enough money. I told him I would go over the bills and let him know.

Why is he so rude when ow is around? Is he trying to prove his "love and loyalty" to her??

On a different note...

D9 is having a sleep over tonight. I havent seen them since I got home at 4:45 except to eat pizza with me.

D5 was supposed to go to a bday party after school. When I got home she had a fever of 102.7. \:\( So we're here hanging out in my bed watching TV. Poor thing. We have another bday party tomorrow too that I think we're going to have to skip. Oh well, a weekend at home inn our jammies isn't a bad idea. Especially since they will be in Jersey next weekend and I will miss them!!!

Hope you all are doing well.

Love,
Shades
