Father's Day or Is It?
Oh, what a horrible battle that is being waged. The ex-CEO decided that on Father's Day, she should announce to her children that she is buying a condo in Vail with her friend (not a good influence on the kids - another story for another day) so they can go up whenever they want.
How wrong is it for so many reasons?
1. It's Father's Day, for gosh sake. You will get the kids tomorrow. You can't even hold yourself back for 24 hours????
2. This is another blow in the "competition" that she has to prove what a great mother she is. I can't even take my kids away for a weekend without her trying to one up me.
3. Just me, but shouldn't you be looking for a job instead of spending more money with an income from me?
The See You Next Tuesday phrase seems underwhelming for this latest game. I'm just trying to be a dad, with a lot of complications. I lose money every day I'm not travelling on the road, by paying off the ex-CEO as well as not recovering my salary. And now this?
Yuck - just another piece of a tough day. Girlygirl has been throwing up all day and put a crimp in plans for more hiking and playing - so we are stuck at home. We had a good time in Wyoming, long drive, beautiful country, and next time we'll bring our tent.
I'm trying to get my financial affairs in order as quick as possible. The architects are now just about paid off. Temple is paid off. Lawyer is still a little more, but should be handleable in the next couple of months. I should be able to save up for a little while.
The other project will probably stop this week. I need to put it away and save up some money so that I can have some backup money readily available. Maybe a refinance or two would be good......
