Well today was the first day back to school for my kids so of course they come home with tons of papers to fill out and my middle D has gobs of homework. Can you believe that on the first day. She is at practice right now have to leave soon to pick her up, then go pick S up from work and then come home fold some laundry make sure everyone has their stuff ready for tomorrow, make lunches and go to bed to get up and do it all over again. Now I know that I am not alone here, but this single parenting is tough. My H called earlier to see how the first day went. That was nice of him but is he here helping with any of this I think not. I'm sure he is at his place glued to the T.V. (that infuriates me). Oh yeah and our insurance agaent called tonight to let me know if he doesn't get our premium by Thursday all our policies will lapse. I haven't called H yet because I'm really really really trying not to LB or be a nag about petty stuff. Went to see my counselor today and i told him about the good weekend we had. He said he thinks H will be home for Christmas maybe not Thanksgiving. Says I need to show him 2 months of consistency in plan A. Said I'm really tryng here. He ask me could I do it if my kids lives depended on it I said absolutely I will do whatever I have to for them. He said well then their lives really depend on you sticking to this plan. I also got another cell bill today there were calls on to the OW's cell phone but none to her house. Her H must be getting suspicious to. Not mentining anything to him about the bill just gonna hand it over in a day or so. Well gotta run and pick up the kids H just called and said he's coming over in alittle while. Thanks for lettting me vent.<BR>cybil

Hi cybil, I know the feeling my 3 kids started school today also and I am here doing all this stuff alone, WH is living home but always working never around. He has not called to see how kids made out today, maybe he will later. I have to go back to work tomorrow after being home for 3 weeks, so I to have to go to laundry, make lunches and shower the kids , get them to bed, and get myself to bed I am exhausted, this single parenting stuff is tough. Just wanted to let you know your not alone. love Sally

Thanks for the reply sally. H called and said he was coming over just before I left to pick D up called him back and ask if it wasn't an inconvenience if he could pick up S from work of course it was an inconvenience and coming home he was 2 cars in front of me but I didn't say anything. He just pisses me off. He did help D with some stuff she had to do tonight for school so I guess I can't complain to much. I told him about the Ins. premiums being due and he said what am I suppose to do? He also said everytime I get a little money saved you take it. What the h*** does that mean? What is he saving for? Now I'm thinking maybe it's for an apartment. I hate going back and forth all the time. Sorry sally needed to vent a little more. Hope you got all your stuff done. Get a good nights sleep and hope all goes well on your return to work <BR>cybil<BR>cybil
