Day By Day

[tadpole1025]

Thanks Mr. Bond. I may look into IC someday, but right now I'm not really big on them.

It has been a few weeks so I thought that I would post a couple of updates.

SITCH UPDATE:

Saw XW yesterday. She was here picking up our sons to take them out for ice cream for her birthday. She is looking more and more like Morticia from the Addam's Family. When I saw her, she seemed to look at me as if she wanted to talk or say something. I didn't say a word and she didn't either.

A few things that the boys told me:

When this all started, she blamed me for stealing money from my grandfather. According to our sons, she is no longer blaming me for it and knows that I didn't do it. It is sad that it took three frickin years for her to realize that.

They also told me that she has me listed as "a$$hole" in her cell phone contacts. This really p!ssed me off for some reason, but didn't really surprise me.

Also, three years ago when this began, she would blame me for the coughing attacks that she was having. She said it was because I was a smoker. (Even though I never smoked around her.) Then after she moved out and I was no longer around, she still blamed it on me because she said that I would "stress her out" and she would start coughing. Now as of yesterday, she still has the coughing attacks, but now blames it on.......sugar.

She is still pushing for our sons to spend Thanksgiving with her and her new husband. As of right now, one says he might go. One says probably not and the other two say they are not.

MOM UPDATE:

She has been doing very well the past few weeks. She's has been so well in fact, that we have moved her out of the nursing home and into my ex sister-in-law's place. The ex sister-in-law is my dead brother's wife. I wasn't crazy about her leaving the nursing home, but mom insisted. She still has some pain, but is actually moving around a lot more. It is like she has been given one more burst of life.

ME UPDATE:

I was approved for food stamps this week. I will get $236 a month for me and the boys. It isn't much, but it is sure going to help a lot.

I'm still looking for a job. No luck yet. Just taking things as they come.....day by day.
