Money that should be going to my mom so we can buy the truck, not to pay daycare.

And thanks. I may have a redhead's temper but I have learned to take a breath amd I've absolutely learned how to apologize when things get out of hand. (Thougj I still think ots shit that someone who had an unfortunate death in the family is treated better than the military personnel)
