Just a few thoughts...
Well after alot of serious talking I think Tony is going to go back to driving over the road being gone2-3 weeks at a time. Point blank because of the money..he can make much more doing that than what he is doing now. Yes the seperation will be hard but it is something we will both have to deal with at least for now. We've done alot of talking about this and so it is not a spur of the moment decision by any means. He will be in 1-2 weekends a month and we will just have to pack as much quality time into those weekends as we can.
We had the girls last weekend and we took them to the movies and to mcdonald's on saturday. Mickey D's is by far not a fave of mine...but i can handle eating there every once in awhile. The girls had alot of fun and it really was'nt all that expensive for dinner or the movie which was a good thing.
Now it looks like we will have the girls for at least a week maybe 2 weeks. When they called this morning to ask about it I plainly told them I had no idea what to do b/c neither of us can afford time off from work. They have April's neice there and they need to get to sherwood,tx and i understand why....b/c aprils' sis-in-law who has cancer and has been getting worse was just given a month to live if that. They don't want the girls to have to witness things there and I understand that...my main concern was no one being able to watch the girls during the day. Tony's neice is going to watch them all day till he gets off work so that is completely covered which is nice. And he is not going to pay her one thin dime while he has them...like I told him on the phone if they are here and your taking care of them...she does not need child support money. He said that he was thinking the same thing...which I have no doubt he was. I just had to voice my thoughts to him..cause no way in hell was I going to sit back and watch him take care of them here and pay her.
I did alot of cleaning today and now I am doing laundry..such fun lol..but it has to be done. I am trying to do something constructive on my day off from work.
