JoLynn called this morning. She asked if I got the money yet. I said no. And she said that the guy was suppossed to send it yesterday, but would do it today for sure. Also said he had to use his parent's (paypal?) account and didn't have the password. (!!!) But she assures me she trusts him.

When I told her I needed the money because I was out, she got mad at me and started yelling, "What am I suppossed to do?"

Well I donate plasma today. If I don't get defferred thats $20 I will have.

If the money is not in the account today I think I will take up on the offer of those of you who offered to paypal me some money.

In two days it will be a week that I have been eeking by with just the contents of my wallet (which is down to $4). I spent the $11.98 at Target yesterday. (Actually the total was $12.01 so I payed a dollar out of my wallet and put the rest on the card).

She comes back late Saturday... I just dunno.

In other news I am getting a taste of what it would be like to be a single dad. I've managed to get Conor dressed, fed, medicated, and on the bus on time every day. I've done dishes and laundry, and am basicaly taking care of things. Getting him to bed on time, and I have been going to bed early as well so I can get up good in the mornings. This is actually a big accomplishment for me, as I usually have a LOT of trouble getting up in the morning, I always have. Yet, when its imperitive that I get up, I seem to be able to do so.

I can't beleive he saw three doctors last week. (Geneticist, Developmental Pediatrician, and the ER doc) But I got two grainy photocopies of his chromosones. So that is kind of cool.

He hasn't complained about his ear at all. So the pain medicine hasn't been used at all. And he has been really good about taking his antibiotic. I guess its good he got sick early in our little trial. If I had to buy medicine for him now, I'd be 2 bux short. Ah, I haven't raided the coin jar yet, so he would be OK. Oh that reminds me I need to refill my prescriptions here pretty soon. OK plasma donation in an hour and a half.. I will have some money.

You know what? This is ridiculous. I just love how you seem to like making me seem like this evil bitch. Like you are this poor little victim.

I understand you are angry and frustrated, but seriously, I had NO clue the hotel would do that...and excuse me for wanting to save 20-30 dollars by not using Western Union.

I know that my little tirade here will leave me stranded at the Casper Airport Sat. night...but I'm sick of how you portray me. You make it seem like you do everything right and perfect. Well, newsflash, ya don't.

Holy crap you did dishes? you haven't done them in MONTHS!

And for those that think I *AM* an evil bitch, you can fuck off and die. I don't have time to go into things from my point of view and quite frankly, I don't see that it's any of your business.

If you don't want me reading and replying to this zen, I suggest you friends lock it so I can't read it. But as long as you are gonna imply I'm this evil bitch in public posts. I'm gonna read it and respond.

You'll get your money. Geeze, it's not like we have NEVER been this broke before. It's only the circumstances that are making you flip the fuck out.
z0mg you have to spend your plasma money on Conor. Wow, it's not like I NEVER used my JOB money for food or other things. It's not like YOU never benefitted from my paycheck. It's NOT going to kill you to use your money for Conor...or to take care of yourself. You want more money? then get to fucking DVR and go through their program and get a job. and yes, you CAN work, you simply have decided to NOT work. That's what DVR is there for, to help you get a job that suits you and your disability.

Cowboy up and move on.

Oh, and why do you make it seem like we are still together, we aren't. We are simply co-habitating for the moment. Not an ideal situation but one that was necessary for awhile.

The impression I received was "financially irresponsible," rather than downright evil.

This is fascinating. Having been financially shafted by genuine evil bitches, I would like to observe things from your perspective, although I understand in this situation your fiscal situation was due to ignorance regarding hotel policy, and perhaps issues with Paypal.

I do understand you won't go into detail. I'm no expert in persuasion, but I'm sure your friendly "fuck off and die" will win you lots of empathy. (Personally, I would have said, "Go bugger yerself, ye scurvey dog!" in honor of Talk Like A Pirate Day, but that's just me).

I agree with what you said staircase_wit. I saw it as being rather irresponsible as well.

Me, three. I mean, regardless of how the adults feel towards one another, leaving without making sure there's adequate provisions for one's offspring (and it didn't sound like there was much in the way of food for him at home) is I think what's getting most of us 'readers' riled up.

One of the many reasons I'm so glad I had a vasectomy.

It's amazing what we can do when we have to. I'm the same way, it's almost better when I *don't* have a support system, because I just can't MAKE myself do the things I have to do. It's terrible, and I end up feeling worse than I did before.

Zen, you are amazing and I admire you. I know from the other post that you got the money and I'm glad. I'm not surprised you had it in you to be a "single" dad. You're a very good dad. And a very good person.
