Um, didn't work yesterday. I officially joined the church yesterday and became a member. Everyone after gave me a hug and said they thought I was already a member b/c I've been doing so much church stuff, more than most of the members I think. Well the service was all Christmas Carols and went on until after 12:30 (usually gets out around 12) and then we had to stand in front and hug everybody and get welcomed to the church. So I get home right before 1 and the owner called with a message that she needed to get the legal paperwork checked out before I start as she wanted to hire me as an independent contractor or something so I would have to pay taxes at the end of the year and she wouldn't have to. I said fine, that's ok with me, b/c I had no time to make lunch for us or change clothes anyway! Went to the L again today. Some friends from TKD found a mobile home 10 miles away in a really tiny town smaller than mine that would probably be $300 or so a month, but my L said I shouldn't take that. She wants me living in a regular small home. I'm supposed to keep track of all my bills and the receipts and prove to the judge that I do need more money and a car. So that cheers me up a little bit. Went to a church supper last night which was fun and awesome food as usual (those women can really cook)!!! And TKD tonight to get out some more of my stress should be good. Hope everyone's having a good day. Will try to check in later tonight!
Forgot to add I had another sleepless night Saturday. H has been taking the kids one night a week and I guess since his mom was in town he wanted to impress her with his parenting skills and kept them Saturday an extra night. No phone call or email to let me know. So I was still waiting for the kids to show up maybe late Saturday night and then just couldn't sleep b/c I was worried the kids might not be ok or something. If the situation had been reversed I would have called or emailed for sure so he wouldn't be worried. The L said I should tell him we are sticking to the original agreement of 1 night a week so I get both nights this week and not let him have them one night this weekend, but honestly the kids would be so upset I don't think I can do it b/c I think it would punish them more than H. I would rather let him have one night this week but maybe with the condition that if he in future takes them more than the one night, we can deduct that from the following week? And then hopefully he wouldn't do that? What do think about that idea? Karen
