Abracadabra

     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 we are making it on our own. Granted we'd be doing a lot better if father's would step up and help support the children they helped create, but fuck em. We got this. Brandi and I will always figure things out to provide for our kids.

    I am so glad to see you see your self worth! It is terrible he would treat you & the kids like that. But isn't it amazing when we see show ourselves what are capable of. Sounds like you and Brandi have it figured out.

    I have been reading your blog for a long time, and he has always been unreliable, at least in my opinion. I hope he realizes the kids will still want to see him and spend time with him. They're too young to understand much about why he isn't there.

    Since quite a few of my followers only knew me by my blog, I've decided to do random pop ins. I wanted to let you all know that I am doing amazing. I've really been enjoying life. Daily visits to the park, and using my extra time to take care of myself. Today was a manicure, shopping, and girl time with my SIL. I'm currently on a trip out of town with the hubby to do some more shopping for myself and little man and a dinner date with my love.

This week in review

   I would be lying if I said this week has been any easier than the ones it followed. It's actually been more hectic than the weeks before. With school being out longer than what was originally foreseen, well it's been a pain in the ass. I'm actually hoping that school decides to tack on a week or two once they do return. This momma needs a break. But if we are being completely honest... I wish they would continue the school year through most of the summer.. or at very least offer summer schooling. I think that would be considered fair since my kids fight me so hard on doing their school work and turning it in on time. Homeschooling is definitely not for the faint of heart. It will drive you insane.     On the plus side of things, we got a midweek visit from Daddy. His load schedule allowed him to come home for 24 hours in between loads. So yay for us. Brandi and I both needed some Daddy time. The kids weren't so happy to see him though. They were all in trouble for g
