Well, it is Sunday.  Thank God.  This past week has been so busy.  Sara plays Volleyball and Wes plays football on their school teams.  Sara had a game on Wed. and Wes had one on Thursday that was 50 miles away.  Worked all day, picked up Sara from practice - came home, changed, picked his parents up and went to game.  Got home at 12 at night.  I will never understand why they have these kids play so late on a school night and then expect them to function the next day.  Sara then had a Volleyball tournament on Saturday.  Left at 7 am and got home at 4.  I am getting old for sure.  I feel like I have been hit by a truck...lol.  Staying home today.  Sara has a friend over and a couple of other friends are coming to hang out from 1 - 5 - so not much on plate today.  Glenn did not go to the game, Wes's first football game ever.  He has quit working overtime at Toyota and decided to get another job because he has no money.  He is really playing it.  Little does he know that he is cutting his own throat.  This second job is for sympathy and not working ot at Toyota is simply to try to lower his income...but, he has not thought this through.  He is doing this for sympathy from people although I have not met anyone yet who has any for him.  I am sure his parents think...how could she do this..take all his money and now he has to work another job.  I have or will not speak about Glenn to them when it comes to this situation he is doing now.  He seems to forget that a second job is just more income.  The judge wont have sympathy for him.  Just because he chose to leave his life does not mean that he is no longer responsible for what we have in debt and taking care of the children.  Little does he know that my lawyer has confirmed that ot is available and he is chosing not to work it.  He just is trying to make it appear that he is struggling.  I have no sympathy for the path he has chosen..and our lifestyle will be maintained even though he is not here.  He is in a fantasy world, still spends not time with the children, and thinks that everything he has done will be overlooked in the eyes of the court.  I must admit that doing everything for the kids...meaning running them everywhere by myself is tiring, but I will continue to do it and never ask for his help as I know he is not in a stable state of mind and the kids are better off not seeing him.  When the judge sees that in 10 weeks he has spent 1 night and less than 12 hours with each of them...well, that says it all.  It is all about his new life at the expense of our children.  He is taking me to court this Wed. to try to adjust our original child support agreement.  His theory - I have to work a second job for food.....I am driving an old car because I cant afford gas for my truck....blah blah blah.   He is working very hard to make this look so good for people to feel sorry for him.  The facts will prevail....and this second income will now be added to determine temporary child support.  What a sorry excuse for a human being.  Bring it on baby....I am back andd I am ready......YEHAW - so nice to be back.  Loving my kids and hearing them tell me they love me, and being a their for all their activities...what a source of strength for me.  I am truly blessed........thank you my friends for all your support thru good and bad.  Much appreciated....hugs to all.  Kelly

I hear you about running ourselves ragged for the kids. But we do it because no one else will!!! My kids dads aren\'t even involved in their lives at all. So I understand your feelings of struggling to deal with it.

You go on Girl the crying is over now its time for you to work it! I don\'t call it revenge but, a reckoning. You will grow stronger, and look so much better too. Thats the best satisfaction you, can find yourself in all of this and, the best part is that you will find that you are terrific, and worth being around and just down right beautiful. You also get a chance to have fun now, and it will feel great, there is life after glen, and you will be better than you ever were. I raised my kids alone too, but it was just great and the piece of mind is to die for. Being free for me turned out to be the biggest blessing of them all and my kids loved my happiness so girl, now it\'s your turn live it up and enjoy. God Bless!
