If It's not One thing...

Well, my husband thinks he might get in trouble because a piece of equipment was stolen from his truck & he is responsible for the truck, "but I was so distracted..."etc.  I don't know if he will be in trouble or not.  If so, it would be  a 1st offense.  And the worst they can do (other than fire him, which I doubt) would be to make him pay for it--it's $4,000.
Normally, I'd get all stressed & worried about the $, especially with the car repairs coming up.  But guess what--I'm not!  Knowing that my $ is separate & can't be touched really has given me piece of mind.  Now of course, if they withhold his pay, that does affect the $ we've been using for groceries, gasoline, and the automatic pay stuff.  But I can re-budget for that with my $, plus we do have some $ in the bank from his that he can use for "mad $" (which he always does).  So it will work out. 
My son has been claiming that he's been doing his homework.  But he's sung that song before.  I just wish I could "make" him do it.  But darn it, I know you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.  Mind control as a super-power would come in real handy right now!
