Journaling (Thursday, August 12, 2010):

Today started out as many of you know. It was very emotional for me in the morning. I did take a break from thinking and vacuumed and dusted with the kids, and the apartment looks great. The kids helped me so much. I had to go to the library and run some other errands that could not wait. I went to the bank and took out $20 from our insurance money because the car was on empty, and the indicator light came on. I also needed some money for lunch for the kids and me too. I was hungry, and I wanted to eat good today. I bought a $10 pizza at Pizza Hut, a Mountain Dew, and put $5 dollars in the gas tank. I took the kids to the Pier for some fishing with D and S's homemade fishing poles and bait. We were there for about 2 hours. Did not catch anything. Someone caught a Shovel Head shark. It was so nice to have some peace and quiet away from home.

I came home to check for messages on the home phone, my e-mail, and to put the fishing gear away. I received a phone call from W mad about the $20 I used from our insurance money. I told her that I did take it and that initially I took $120, but I put back $100 and just kept the $20. She said there was $100 deposit and that I had money. I explained what happened, and she said if I did not have money that I should not take the kids. I told her that she would have to put $20 back because I have no money, and she said you have to do it. I said politely that I do not have the money, and it would not happen. She said I have money if I could hire an attorney for the hearing. I just told her that " I am not going to have this conversation with you," and I hung up. It was just going nowhere. I finished what I needed to do,and I took S and D to the doggie park.

W called, but I did not answer this time. She wanted to know if the kids ate or not. I just went home when I was ready.

Tonight she had a place set for me to eat. The kids asked if I was going to eat tonight since mommy had a place for me tonight,and I said "yes." W apologized for not having a potato for me. I said I was not worried about it.

She also said she was going to go put the money in the bank and would be right back to the kids. She also bought some milk and butter.

She was a little grumpy with the kids, and she went to bed really early tonight. Well she did stay up past 1:30 am last night.

Oh, she cancelled a credit card that I used. All the other cards do not work now either. I maxed some of them out too. I needed to take care of some things. I am glad that I did.

It was a nice evening watching some TV with the kids tonight. Turned into a decent day.
