Bring on the Rain - Part 2

[SueS]

Rob- Thanks! As always, your post made me feel better.

I am scared. I realized that this morning. However, I know that I'll be okay. I have to be. I'll do my best to make it a good home for D4 and myself. It's just hard thinking about the fact that for the past 17 years I've had someone there with me. Despite everything that's gone on during our time together, he has been there. It will just take a lot of getting used to.

H and I talked a little more last night about the DUI. From what I can see, he'll get at least a $1000 fine and lose his license. There are other things that could happen, but I'm not 100% sure what they are. He'd told me that here in MN they put special vehicle plates on when you've received a DUI. With everything that I looked up, that's only when you're a repeat offender or if there are special circumstance to your situation (a child in the car, a certain BAC level....etc.). He didn't remember his BAC and I forgot to ask the officer. Any way, with the plates, they put them on your vehicle during the duration of your license suspension. You can request a special license for going to/from work. The bad thing if that would happen, is that they CAN take your normal vehicle plates off ANY vehicle that has your name on it. That would include mine. I made sure H knew that. I told him that this is a serious issue, but that it appears that he may get the least amount of punishment. I'd like to see if they require any type of counseling. H thanked me for picking him up. He told me that he knew I didn't have to do that.

We had a decent evening. Gave D4 her bath. She LOVES that time. Then, we all played a game. She loves playing board games so we try to buy those for her whenever we can.

Well, it's another Monday. The beginning of another week and another month. I hope it's a good one for everyone here. My heart & thoughts are with everyone. I wish we didn't have to be here.
