I haven't got time for the pain

[tested metal]

I had to put down a boundary this weekend with STBXW. She has been texting me the last 2 weeks at 6:30 am with random info./ questions regarding D1 that aren't emergencies. They could have waited until later in the day and were waking me up.

I texted back with the request of please do not text me before 8 am unless it is an emergency regarding D1.

Of course in her same childish way she texted back that she would not bother me at all ever again.

Then that night when I responded to another text about D1 at 8 pm, she adds the barb, "well it is late now, so goodbye."

Then the next morning she texts at 6:30 am again!! I did not respond until after 8 am.

I would shut my phone off but I am afraid I would miss and emergency call from family or STBXW.

As for the daycare situation, I think I got it handled. It is good to have good friends. The daycare lady that currently is taking care of D1 will allow half the payment this month and half of it next month, which helps greatly. The new daycare was not so generous.

I am learning very quickly though how much I can be thrifty by buying certian supplies at the dollar store and making multiple meals with small rations of staples!
