SCREWED, TOTALLY SCREWED
Well that’s it in a nutshell really. The ex finally called J and left a message on her answering machine. “ I’m Fine” that’s it. So we know he is alive. Big woopteedo. He won’t call me back. I have no idea if he ever plans on letting me know were he is. I called him again and pleaded with him to call me so that the kids could talk to him.
When I talked to J she said she wasn’t going to do anything else further. Her mother advised her to stay out of it. Did I ever mention how much I hate my ex mother in law? She told J that he is a big boy and will handle this himself in his own way. WTF? Since when has she ever thought he was a big boy? I wish she did when I was married to him, and stayed the hell out of our marriage!
And does she realize what this is doing to his kids, ya know the grandchildren that she loves so much, and hates me so much for taking them away from her.Well dear ex-mil, those precious children are going to be homeless in a week unless I can somehow magically come up with the money your wonderful son owes me. Angus got half what we thought he was going to get this past paycheck. I called and tried to cancel the furniture, that was a no go. They will refund half the money we put down, but that’s it. I am so screwed.
I thought paying off all my debts with the insurance money was a good idea. You know, start fresh debt free in a new place. Sounds good doesn’t it? How stupid could I be. I have no idea what to do. Last summer was bad enough doing the back and forth dance with our old landlord (the house is on the market, so I was right about that) but this? Come on. Do I have this bad karma or something. Did I do something really bad in a past life that I have a destiny for disaster? I just can’t believe this is happening. I am sitting here as I type waiting for a call or knock on the door from the management with some kind of a notice or something.
I feel so bad for the kids having to go through this. I had to talk to the girls yesterday after J called. Sophia thinks her father is a drama queen (I have to laugh at that one) she thinks he is loving all the worried phone calls. Smart girl she is. Zoe broke down in sobs. Stating the fact that she hates her father, that he always messes things up. (what the hell can one say to that when its the truth?) I however told her she should not hate her father. That yes, he could have gone about this differently. Let us know he was planning on quitting. But that he is just doing the best he can right now. I’m not sure if that did any good or not, but it did calm her down.
Angus just called to check in and see how I was doing. I told him about the refund on the furniture. To bad it’s going to take at least ten days to get here. He just made another $500 commission. Second one this week. Ya glad, wahoo baby. To bad you don’t get paid until the 20th. So I guess the good news is, we are ok next month. For what I don’t know.
One of the places that I applied to for a job called this morning and want to interview me on Wednesday. Do you think they would give me a $1000 advance? No? I didn’t think so either. I think I will go stick my head in a hole, or climb back in bed and never come out from under the covers again.
