I haven’t been “up to” blogging lately. Things are somewhat returning to normal around here. Jeff is employed and seems to be happy. My motivation to work is returning. I need to work on scheduling less projects per month than I have been. I’ve been trying to juggle just too much and it has become frustrating.
I feel bad for Megan because she can’t speak her mind as long as she is dependent on her father for support. I’m hoping that would be motivation enough to get out there and look for at least a part-time job while she goes to school. Cold hard reality will set in when she no longer is being supported by him. I keep trying to get her to work up a budget so she can see exactly how much money she needs to be making so she can continue to live like she does. I feel like that falls on deaf ears.
I’m still dumbfounded about how close a proximity my ex is to my family. I mean, what is the point? Well, if I wrote what I think the point is all those “threats” would start flying again. I guess the ready sad part was at Thanksgiving the other two girls were visiting him – of course they didn’t bother to visit.
From the sounds of it, parts of Megan’s Christmas weren’t the best. She had a great time with my sister but not so good a time with other relatives. She did the right thing and made the visits she should have made but I feel bad for her because stuff that was going on had her crying herself to sleep at night while she was there. I told her that crap should also be motivation to cut the purse strings.
I was hoping she would really like the Dental Assistant stuff but it sounds like she doesn’t. Tuition has to be paid in full whether she goes or not so she at least knows she has to go. I really have no idea what she wants to do. Only thing she seems to like to do is buy videos and watch them.
To help bring our budget back to something more manageable we traded the two vehicles for one. Since Jeff is working out here at EWTN with me, if made sense to me that we only need one.
