I'm trying to adjust. But I am really tired today. This week I have been going to work at 8:30am which means I have to get up at 6am and leave the house by 7:30. Chase is not an early bird by any means and he won't leave the house unless I say he is going to the store (something that Rick did all the time). We get to Mom and Dads around 8 and he cries cause he wants to go home with me. Then I get home between 5:30 and six and cook dinner, do the laundry, and sweep, and pick up toys, and, and, and,... Most nights I don't get to sleep till after 11. I'm tired and it's only been three days. Ugh!
His mother came over last night and told me that if I didn't try to help Rick that he was going to "tell all". Whatever that means...and thats what I told her, is that I have heard it a thousand times like its on a recorder. She acts nice but I know Rick is feeding her garbage. She sticks up for him all the time and she knows how he treats me. Hell, he treats her bad too. She expects me to just brush it off and save her son. She even told me that she told him to move away from me so he won't get into trouble. She asked me to drop the restraining order so he won't go to prison. I told her that my plan was not to get him in trouble but he put himself there. He should have took the high road and kept his mouth shut if he didn't have something nice to say. He was always so negative about everything, except being with me. That was "the" only thing that mattered to him.
In other news, my sister-in-law Rita told me to file for unemployment cause I have only been working part time. So I did and they sent me all the paperwork. I called in my first two weeks on the 8th and then I called today to see where my check is. Well, I have been misled. See they will only pay you if you are actually unemployed. If you make over what they were going to pay you then you don't get anything. That sucks and I told the guy on the phone that it is not fair. He said he understood my problem, that due to the economy I had been reduced from full time to part time but he said that there was nothing that he could do to help me. Shit!
