I have been a Xanga member for months but have not blogged one day! Just a busy lady, ya know? I thought this might be a good spot for me to vent! I got divorced almost 2 years ago (12/21/06) and my ex has made my life hell ever since. In February I decided to take my youngest son (aka Thing 3) to day care instead of bringing him to my mom's. 2 reasons, 1. she is a heavy smoker and has a sister living with her that is a heavy smoker and 2. my mom's health. It was too hard on her to watch him 5 days a week. I am currently putting 600.00 a month on a credit card to pay for his day care, that will not get paid off until he goes to college. I am also currently taking the ex back to court to get him to pay for half of it. This has been going on since April! APRIL people! It's now November! I hate our court system! This is not rocket science! The judge should take 2 seconds to make this decision! It doesn't help that my lawyer passed away and I had to get a new lawyer. But the lawyer I have now is a piece of crap! (I'm sure you're not surprised) I talked to him one time on the phone and that was yesterday. The guy does not answer his phone when I call and does not return phone calls. He emails! I am supposed to be in court this morning finalizing this! hahahahaha! I'm at work, sitting here typing this and biatching right now! Nope no court again today! The ex still hasn't gotten some kind of papers into the lawyer! Ugh! I have 3 wonderful boys that I want nothing more then for them to have the happiest and best life! I can't afford to take them out. I can't afford the house I live in. Can't afford gas! What is it going to take for the judge to see I need help?! Even if he pays me half, I will still not be able to afford anything. I know I'm not the only one in this situation it just sometimes feels like it's only me! I was fine until the gas and food prices went up. Now it seems like I will never catch up! I am trying to find a part time job, but that's almost impossible. I have to work certain hours (so I can see my kids once in a while) and businesses don't like that! Ok, I'm at work so I better get to work! |
