Happy Fourth!

It's a smoky but beautiful day outside but I'm stuck inside, while the family is at the Lake having fun in the sun. I trully considered going with them but there is no way that I could be in an uncomfortable chair longer than five minutes. But the baby is there happy to play in the sand all day.

Thursday was a short day at work and it seemed like forever until I could get to work. I stayed until closing which was at 3pm which worked for me. I had to go by the Property Management company i've been working with to pick up some forms and give them back their check. I found them a good Aetna deal HMO no less.

On a less positive note, my ex finally got his first indication of how much child support was going to be removed from him. I got several emails calling me names and then telling me he needs money. He's still trying to get back together with me. So he claims he'll be on the street in two weeks, my fault of course. Our child is almost three years old and he has never given me a dime in support and if he'd have offered a reasonable amount then we trully would not be in this spot. I'm torn I don't want the father of my kids on the street but we're talking about a guy who's never once asked about how I'm doing or had any compassion for anyone but himself and our kids. And every email he sends is filled with hate and the blame game but then he says we are good together and he wants money. I'm in such turmoil, even my mother agrees I should give him some food at least. I just wish it was all over.

I'll be taking my niece to work next week if only to get her out of the house.
