The Dog Is Back
2007-11-07
My husband called yesterday. He got into an argument with his mom's other half. Now, he can't stay at their home. He's having a hard time finding a room to rent with his rotweiller in tow. Go figure. Well, that's when he calls me.
Do I want the dog? Why would I want a dog that doesn't listen to me? Okay, after him screaming at me and everything else I told him the stupid dog can stay with me until his sister gets out of jail (supposedly 12/3/07). Then, assuming we're still separated, the dog goes.
Later that night, the husband and the dog show up. Amazingly, no arguing. He stayed for an hour or so, left $40 for dog food, etc then left. I wonder if he noticed the house is cleaner since he's been gone? I wonder if he noticed I'm not stressed? Who knows and I'm not going to ask.
Me and the boys, doing pretty good. Even they aren't fussing with each other as much. I haven't been crying anymore. It's getting easier to let go of my husband. I'm not sure what's in his head, but I'm good with how things are. We've got to be saving money already. I think I've been to the grocery store twice in two weeks. Tonight I need to go, but I don't expect to spend much.
I got my court papers served on me yesterday so my 2nd ex should have his anytime now too. I filed for an increase in support and to make sure things are on the up and up I filed a subpeona duces tecum for his employer to provide his employment/income info. Helps to have friends in the child support/court system. Only mini hurdle now is who will come from the child support agency to represent the case. I know the attorney and he's worried it my look like a conflict of interest even though you can't fudge the numbers. Plug them in and the amount he pays is calculated. All numbers are backed up with written prove they're correct so I don't see the conflict. I just want to go to court and get it over with (Nov 28th). Only thing I hadn't thought about was how to leave the courthouse without having to worry about him approaching me. There's nothing out there to keep him away from me, just the kids. I figure I'll hand out with the deputies (a few are friends) until he leaves or get one of them to walk me to my car. Then drive around a bit before going back to work just in case he tries to see where that is. I hope I don't have to say where I work in court, but if so, I plan on just saying the school system versus the specific school.
Well, got to go to work. I'm planning on submitting a written request (i.e. demand) to be transferred to the new school once they finish it (should be open by the next school year). I figure they can make it up to me for screwing me now. I'm not the one being punished my ass. I even found out yesterday that the person I replaced was the one "fixing" my stuff when I was out last week from surgery. That really pisses me off, but I don't want to complain even though they know that is a big no-no for me. I don't think my boss knows though. I figure I'll bring it up at some point, but I don't want that to be the only topic of conversation when I talk to my boss.
Later!
