Life is Just a Big Ole Roller Coaster!

Well...last night I checked my mailbox and pulled out a letter from the slime bag, sexual harrassing, butt hole of a lawyer that I used for my divorce and R/O. Needless to say, he's suing me for $1375! I was so furious. The divorce was supposed to be paid in full, but now he's added on $750 in extra charges that I don't even know what they're for. In addition, the r/o that he agreed to do for free is now a big whopping $695. I paid Mr. Attorney $100 last month that he neglected to reflect on the charges too! I had gone into his office last month and worked out a payment agreement w/ him that I would pay up to $100 a month until the rest of the bogus charges are paid. Well...I guess $100 wasn't enough for him. Now, I have until May 8 to pay everything in full or he's taking me to court and garnishing my wages! I only make $2.13 an hour plus tips, which varies every day that I work! If he would've let me pay him like he had agreed he would've received a lot more than what my check is every 2 weeks!
I was so down in the dumps with everything. Not only that, but my exh called my case worker, lied to her and told her that I made $6.00 an hour plus tips, so they cut off my t/a, food stamps, and medicaid for my daughter. Now I have to deal with all of this and take all of my earning reports, check stubs, and what not to get everything turned back on. I mean, I haven't had groceries in my fridge for almost 3 months. We've been eating at my mom's and my granny's for dinner, or I've been bringing stuff home from work (since it's free when I work). The only thing in my fridge at exactly this moment is milk, cheese, and a cherry coke! How could they take his word w/out calling my employeer or even talking with me???
Anyway...on a brighter note: Leah's head is getting much better. The stitches were taken out not too long ago, we've been using the mederma for scares, and it's healing pretty well!
C/S enforcement has opened a case against my exh for not paying c/s. As of now he's $3500 behind and hasn't paid one dime since May 2005.
I will be singing the nat'l anthem at the PBR in June and I'm so excited!
I will be singing the nat'l anthem at the rodeo in August.
I sang a song at a wedding Sat. night and a guy gave me $100 (which I used to buy diapers, milk, and gas...lol)! I was so shocked that a complete stranger would just give me 100 bucks. I didn't want to take it, but he told me that it was an insult to refuse, so I took it...lol!
Other than the roller coaster stuff...lol...I'm getting by, working hard, taking care of Leah, and taking EVERYTHING at a snails pace with crush. I'm still seeing the doc too, although I really only see him as a friend type of thing. However, I'm not going to limit myself to just crush at this point - just see where everything goes!
Hope everyone's week went well!

Oh yeah...talked with my granny who is going to take a loan out on her car and help me pay the slime bag lawyer. I'm going to pay her back and just be done with the atty. However, we've gotten all of our check stubs, etc. showing that the we've already paid $2800 to him...aaggghhhh!!!! But at least I won't be taken to court, etc.

I would go and talk to the atty - sometimes they put a new person in accts recvble and send form letters - maybe there is a mixup with your account? I would take all of the check stubs in there and match the invoices. I would also ask him about the r/o.
Sorry to hear your exh gave you such a drama to fix with his misinformation. He is not hurting you in as much as he is hurting Leah. What a dope.
But your dating life sounds good. It is good that you are going at a snail's pace with the crush and still seeing the doctor.
And I am so happy for you that you are singing - we have a star on our board!! It is GREAT that you got $100!! You deserved that.
How is school going? Hopefully you can finish soon and there will be a little light at the end of your tunnel for cash flow.
Thanks for your update.
Kait,
I'm sorry you're going through all this drama, you poor thing!
(((((Kait))))))
OMG. I can't even believe what I was reading when I read your post. Take Alison's advice and stomp these jerks into the ground through the proper channels.
But, I am SO proud of you for singing. That was also SO nice of that guy.
My fridge looks pretty much exactly like yours right now. No soda, but kool-aid, milk, and some yogurt. Lunch meat and wraps fro my daughter's lunch. That's about it! :) I have been trying to make a shockingly small amount of money last until the end of this month (from the 3rd) and I am so glad this month is over!! These electric bills and gas prices are killing me! (as I am sure they are the rest of you, too!) Luckily it's finally warmed up enough to not have the heat on anymore. (whew) I make "too much" (whatever) for gov't assistance (besides medical) so I have become a superb budgeter. I do have some money in savings, but I don't want to touch it because I've already depleted it lower than I am comfortable with... ugh! I keep telling myself it's only temporary and every month I am closer to things being paid off and this money struggle being over! My goal was to pay off my credit cards. (not very high balances) this year and I can't even manage to make more than the minimum payment! gripe gripe gripe. :)
but again, remember it's always darkest before the dawn...and somehow we get through it!
And has the doctor chilled any?
Hugs to Leah!!! Glad to know the mederma is working (for future reference) ;)
--snow, too optimistic for her own good, but whatever gets me through!
I'm SO glad that I don't have to run my heat anymore! It's been getting very warm here lately, but I've managed to not turn on the A/C. It's a killer trying to cool my place off, but I've invested in some much needed fans and have them placed around the house.
The doctor really hasn't cooled off that much if need be told. He went out a couple of weekends ago and started calling me. He kept asking me, Kait, do you love me? Then he would text message me telling me that he loved me. It was really weird, but, he doesn't drink a lot - EVER - and he was basically acting on the impulse of alcohol. I know he has very strong feelings for me, but I keep telling him, in a polite way, to back off.
The mederma is working wonders for Leah! In all actuality, I saw a difference in her scar in 2 days. It wasn't really significant, but the redness started fading. It's been a couple of weeks since we started using it and it looks SO much better than before. It's still a little pink but I'm very hopeful.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Leah and I are going to stay home, watch tv, and just relax tonight. Tomorrow, however, I have to go out of state to sing at a show. My exh is in Florida on vacation (couldn't pay any c/s this month b/c he was saving for FL - aaggghh), so I asked his step mom if she could watch Leah. (I trust her) Well...just goes to show that the don't really want to see her, they were just fighting to be fighting. They turned me down flat - had some very general excuses. Oh well...I'd rather her stay with my mom, which she is, overnight.

UGH! My ex-in laws were the same way! They whined and complained about never getting to see my daughter, yet NEVER included her in anything. They attempted to get in contact with me one time since my dd's dad died, and that was to threaten me and scream at me because of course, he never would have died had I not left him. His health problems would have miraculously cleared up on their own if I would have continued to take his abuse I guess? I won't go into too much more, but in my opinion, they are not "good" people for more reasons than I can get into publically on this board.
At any rate, I no longer associate with them nor do I need to. My daughter is better off without them and their drama.
I wish doctor boy would just settle down at least a little for your sake! :)
--snow
Kait, at least Leak will have fun with your mom. Have a great time singing, and don't worry too much!
Good to know mederma works, for the future.
I know firsthand how alcohol can make men think they are super- super wonderful, super sweet, and super pains... hopefully Doctorman will back off, but don't be afraid to not be so polite if he doesn't!
I don't have a/c (in the northeast we can get by without it if we have to), but we haven't been able to turn the heat off yet, either...
Guess I'm rambling in my responses, hehe

Hello, I usually read all the posts, but hardly ever contribute or post my questions or advice. I just read them and learn from them. But I read yours and I am so sorry this is happening now to you, I have followed up since you started the divorce proceedings and all those issues with ex and attorney. What an ass*ole is that attorney you got, it's not fair. You are not making enough to even make ends meet! I am a single mother with two kids and I have a full time job and lately I am working a part-time business that is bringing the extra cash I need. I know you don't know me but if it's any help, check my website and look under the opportunity section and since the company offers legal services, who knows one of the attorneys in our firm may be able to help you find out if it's legal or appropriate what your attorney is doing to you. You never know, I am in CA, but you can work this business in the whole country. And believe me this is not a hoax, you may have already heard about the company and honestly I am telling you this works if you want to make it work.
This is just my 2 cents in trying to help you, I hope you don't find it intruding in any way, I feel good if I can help in any way. Please let me know if I was able to help bring you a ray of light? Hugs!

Kaitlyn,
Have you gotten any answers from this attorney? Keep us posted. I am also hoping you can get supervised visitation for your exh so you don't have to watch Leah go to the hospital again.
