Okay... I know all of you are probably wondering what's with the magic trick title. So I'll explain. For years Joey made sure that I believed there was no way in hell I could make it without him. Then when Brandi and I got together he really started in on the "y'all wouldn't be able to afford all this without me", "if I don't make the money then you'll lose everything", "without me, all of this is gone". Well guess what?!? He's been gone for nearly 2 months and we have it figured out. The car is refinanced and now has lower payments. The household is running smoothly for the most part. The kids still have everything they need. And all the bills are paid and up to date. What money we are able to put back over the next month will cover necessities for back to school. But after that's taken care of.. we should be just fine. I guess it wasn't so much of a magic trick as it was strategy... But hey, here ...
Well... It's been a time of major change mentally, emotionally, and physically. Life has taken some crazy turns lately, but it seems to be turning out really well for us. About a month ago Joey decided to go MIA on us for nearly a week. This caused Brandi and I both to do a bit of digging on his whereabouts. We weren't exactly thrilled. But then his ex boss actually reached out to me and filled me in on information I definitely did not know... Including but not limited to a girlfriend and child. Well long story short, Brandi and I both decided enough was enough. We put an end to our relationship with Joey. And I'm here to tell you, it was the best decision either of us have made in a long time. I had forgotten how free it feels to be free. Not having to play 21 questions 3 times a day.. or repeat myself 20 times .. and it has felt amazing to not be in emotional distress half the week trying to prove myself to someone that either doesn't list...
Yesterday was by far one of the worst days I have had in a very long time. Normally when I say I have had a bad day it means the kids have drove me crazy or something simple breaks causing an inconvenience. No! Yesterday was a bad day. Let's start with the fact of nearly waking up too late to get the kids on the school bus. I guess due to being up late dealing with sinus drainage, I didn't hear my alarm. So there I was all scatter brained and rushing kids out the door. I was running almost 20 minutes late and the kids were just minutes from missing the bus. Then let's add the fact that I had a vet appointment for Bridget. That actually went pretty well until the worlds biggest German Sheppard scared the crap out of her and caused her to go into an anxiety attack. And when I say this dog was huge, I mean huge. The damn thing was bigger than I am by a long shot. He gave me anxiety. But poor little 19 pound Bridget was terrified. Her muscles ...
shes so cute
