I'm glad the girls went shopping and found what they needed. It's always nice to receive gift certificates around the holidays. You can catch some really good sales right now as the retail industry is hurting.
As for your h, I'm very happy he's spending New Year's Eve and Day w/you and your family.

i drove to work and checked my work schedule--have to work monday and wednesday. S18 has to work today and tomorrow, i have to take D16 early in the morning tomorrow to church as they are going on a retreat and..................
my car died completely. had to have it towed and S18 is totally blaming me for all car problems. i hardly drive the car as you well know and he was sending me very nasty text mesages while i was waiting for the tow truck to arrive. i was in a parking lot and not stranded in the middle of nowhere.
of course, my husband would not pick up his phone when D16 tried to call him as she was with me.
finally, i left h a mesage, said i had not choice but to have the car towed, that we absolutely need his car today and tomorrow, that i could not miss work, etc.
D16 and i walked home as it was not that far.
what a wonderful day i am having..............and all the while my son is cursing at me...
if h says NO to allowing us to use his car i will lose my marbles!

What a day you have had! Your h better loan you his car. As for your son cursing you, the boy needs to understand that he's the primary person that has been putting mileage on that vehicle. I would also point out that many young men his age, have a car payment or have purchased their own vehicle of some sort and did not have the good fortune of using "mom's" car.
I do hope your h comes through. I do believed someone upstairs is pulling the strings extremely hard today to get him to see more reality in the making.

H called S18, not me today about the car. And H is renting us a car. I do not know whether to laugh or be upset as this is MORE $$ thrown away.
You know, D16 said God is trying to send H a message but H is not seeing it.

MWG, Your H is sure fighting tooth-and-nail with God about coming home. It's so weird. I don't get thtis fighting but perhaps it's what they have to do in closing those doors behind them during the acceptance stage.
You know, I do not even think he is thinking about God and what God has to say.
Lastnight when he left, I said I was praying for him and he was like, "oh, okay." the other night he said, "Please keep praying..."
Yes, I agree he is fighting tooth and nail.
Snodderly, how long do they fight the demons???? This is ridiculous!
And he is not even looking for work!

So, what's the issue of allowing you to use his car if he's not going on interviews or looking for work? I thought his credit card was tapped out? All of sudden he's got money for a rental car? That doesn't make sense unless you have that feature added on your car insurance.
He's a very stubborn one. It could be a while longer with him.
Keep praying for him.

So h comes over, decides we don't need to rent a car and instead, he took S18 to work today and S18 will get a ride home from someone at work.
H will be here early in the morning to take S18 and I to work and also pick us up at 3PM.
Seems kind of odd that he would go spend the night over there and then turn right around and come back.
I never even entertained or brought up the idea of him spending the night here.
