ok, spill it today....what's going on today, good or bad
I'm really tired today, but hoping the vitamins work as good as they did yesterday (but i'm not holding my breathe either).
It's cloudy, cold, dreary outside....hate this weather.
And my boss is in a mood....should be a great day !!

Much against my will I applied for a second job last night at the local grocery store (same one dd 16 works at). Chances are good that I'll get the job. I can't say I'm happy about it because to be perfectly honest I resent the fact that I have to provide 100% of the support for my kids while my xh sits on his butt doing nothing about a job. Don't get me wrong, I love my kids more than anything in the world, but a second job will take me away from them more and that's not fair to them or me. He doesn't visit them and now he's not even working. Anyway, that's where I'm at today.
Traci
is he collecting unemployement?
God could not be everywhere, so
I would resent the hell out of it too and rightfully so. What a complete jack*ss!
Pug hugs, Kelli
Can't stand the cold weather either....that is about the only thing I miss from South Central Texas....the temperate weather. The northern Panhandle of Texas can have some nasty winters and this one is promising to be a doozy....no snow YET, but that can change by tonight. YUCK!!!!
Other than that, not bad, got to visit my brother this weekend (long story, family skeleton type) and combined that with a weekend away with DW since I only get to visit my brother for 4 hrs.
Actually seem to be able to keep two thoughts in my head at one time this morning too (LOL) which makes work a little easier.

He only got laid off yesterday. But his pride won't let him go to the unemployment line. He thinks he's "too good" for unemployment. He's God's gift don't ya know? I'm so glad I divorced him! I'm going to give him a week, and if I'm feeling generous maybe two to find a job. If by then he hasn't I'm going to suggest unemployment. Either way, I'm calling my lawyer today to find out my legal options per the state of VA's laws. I'm just totally ticked off right now. I've calmed down from last night though, so I guess that's a good thing. Thanks for your support.
Love U,
Traci
Pride or not wanting to pay CS? I also wonder if he didn't "ask" for the lay-off....ya know, boss man comes down and says I have to let X number of people go, who wants to go first. I know it happens in aviation, not sure of other professions, anyway a**hole, thinks, hey I'll take that, no more CS. Just a thought....I agree, go get a lawyer....either way it is just not right, him shirking his responsibilities.
Good luck,

well if my current dh thought that way, we'd be divorced too !!!!
God could not be everywhere, so
Thanks TK. I actually got the call from the office manager. And, having worked for the business myself, I know that the lay-off was inevitable. What gets me is HE knew the lay-off was inevitable too and did nothing about it and just sat back and waited for it to happen. The place he worked was a very small independent print shop. It consists of two printing presses. My xh operated the "big press" and the other press-man operated the small press. The jobs that used to be done on the large press stopped coming in so xh was the one that was let go. Plus the other press-man had seniority. At any rate, the lay-off, I'm fairly certain, was legitimate. It's what xh is doing (or not doing) about it that has me fried at the moment. I'll get this figured out somehow someway. This isn't the first time xh has messed up my life and unfortunately I doubt it will be his last. So thanks for the support.
Hugs,
Traci
Not to defend the you know what, but I have a friend that was told (and could see himself)that his job may be going away (married with one kid and one on the way at that time) and his DW, my DW, and myself told him to update his resume and start getting it out....nothing, stuck his head in the sand and waited for whatever. Turned out his job didn't go away, in fact got even more responsibilities, but my point is, some people are the sit and wait and others are more proactive when they smell the winds of change threatening their job in a company.
I still say your xh should have done more, especially with Christmas coming on. I myself am the more proactive and our list of addresses attests to that fact, but I can't see letting my family down like that. I even catch a HINT of problems, I have resume's out and start looking....I wouldn't feel right letting myself get caught unawares and having the family go without food, clothing, and shelter because I was too stupid/lazy to get a new job before the old one gave out. JMHO.
Good luck,

Oh, boy! Not a nice update, read at your own risk!
I was highly suicidal last night. I know that I am past the point of ever doing something like that to my husband or kids, but I just couldn't stop contemplating it and planning it. I was triggered by one of those (supposedly) uplifting stories on tv about a doctor saving the life of a badly injured woman. She was thanking the doctor and I was saying to myself "I would NOT be thanking that man." How weird, I was getting upset just picturing someone trying to intervene after an accident and save my life. Then I got into the bath and cried. Had a large glass of wine so I could sleep. Called my husband but I strangely can't remember one word of the conversation (and it really was only one glass of wine).
I've been up since 5AM, and I feel fine now. I am starting to think that these thoughts will always be there, I just have to work on reminding myself that this is not an option.
Anyway, lots of hugs to Traci! All the best insults have already been hurled at her ex, so I'll have to borrow from the Brits: what a wanker!!!
Take care everyone,
Cari
