Last Friday Skid went to BM for the week and we get them back this coming Friday.

It was nice for about 4hrs. Then DH gets a call that he's been laid off. We are already struggling to pay the bills, full CS to BM and pay a lawyer to get everything changed.

So, of course we've been really stressed out. DH has 26yrs in his career field, but the economy here hasn't really recovered with regards to pay. Most places are only offering him $15hr. Which he will have to take but that is a $9 cut from what he was making last summer.

Then we got into a huge fight last night. Last time BM had one of her cronies drop SS off after her weekend, the guy walked right into our house. He kept saying he wanted to make sure someone was home, but I was sitting right on the couch in front of the door, both our cars where there, the door was unlocked and DH was texting BM to get SS home because he was already and hr late. I had to pretty much close the door on the guy to get him out.

I asked DH to text BM and tell her that whichever whipping boy was going to be dropping the kids off on Friday needs to say out of my house. First he refused to do it because he said she would ignore him. So, I told him that skids are not allowed to be dropped off unless he or I was home. Then he started back tracking and he did text her but he also was blaming me for "allowing" the guy to walk in???? I didn't allow it. Dude just walked in. If anything, SS allowed it. I have not so much as walked on BM property in 7 yrs of picking up and dropping off, let alone walked right into her house. Then DH started saying BM was between a rock and hard place and it wasn't her fault.

Want to piss me straight off? Start defending BM. She had every opportunity to drop SS off to us before she went to work. SHE decided not to, thinking she could guilt DH into picking him up. Which I didn't allow. We didn't speak for the rest of the evening and I told him if it happens again, I will be calling the police. (We can lock the door but it won't matter because we have a keypad lock and both skids have the code. I wonder if no one was at home, what the guy would have done. He was several feet inside my house with me sitting right there)

So, today DH called the lawyer and asked what was up with the case. I overnighted them his signed and notarized copies two weeks ago. The JUST sent it to BM on Friday. I paid $23 to overnight the paperwork to them for nothing. This guy was been difficult to work with from the beginning. He's getting a bad review when this is over and I’m probably going to have to fight some of the charges, because his secretary keeps calling me about items we already discussed with the actual Lawyer (and paid for), so I'm not paying for the extra calls and time.

Now, only two days before we have skids for 7 days and I don't know how we are even going to feed them.

I told DH if he doesn't get a job by the end of the month, BM isn't getting CS. I have told him that I will not ever pay his CS...and at this point even if I wanted to, I can't afford it.
