I haven’t posted since Thanksgiving since there’s not really been anything to write about. I didn’t go shopping on Black Friday because I just didn’t have the money basically. I have been able to get all the girls’ presents with my new Fingerhut charge account though. So my mind is at ease about that. DH keeps seeing things he wants to get them, but I told him they’re done. Just some stocking stuffers now. Two of them will also be getting Angel Tree stuff, thank goodness! Poor little 6 has practically no long pants. When I got her school clothes I got a bunch of capris that were marked down really cheap on clearance. Of course back when school started it was still in the 90s everyday. She could use new shoes and more socks and underwear too. That stuff isn’t cheap! We’re back to living on the cheap ground turkey and cream soups and pasta. Thanksgiving dinner was amazing, but it cost as much as a week’s worth of groceries.
I woke up today to take DH to work so I could take the van and realized I hadn’t paid the cash advances I have out. I’m supposed to do those first while I have the cash, then re-write and deposit that money. So, now I don’t have the cash to pay the $300 one. I’m going to pray they will just let me come in after DH gets paid this weekend. I don’t see any other way to get it.
So, today I took DH to work so I could have the van, as I said. That’s because I am going to make a roadtrip back to my hometown for two reasons : 1) to get out of the house and shake off the trapped feeling, and 2) to see Friend for lunch. The problem here is that after his initial emails yesterday morning that were replies to my emails I sent over the weekend, he apparently never got back to his desk. So I wasn’t able to discuss getting together today with him. I sent him an email last night telling him I was planning to head to my hometown and see my sister at her coffee shop and I wanted to meet him at the river for lunch and I’d buy something to bring with me for us both. It’s nearly 9am now and he’s not replied. I’m actually beginning to worry about him. It’s really not like him to not get back to at least email me one last time before he leaves for work or not to send me one when he gets to work. I also sent him a friendly text last night asking if they got any snow, but he never answered it. Oh well. I’m sure I’m over reacting and everything is fine.
The one thing I don’t like about this whole thing is how the momentum always dies down between times we see each other or talk to each other. Like last time we saw each other was a Fri night and we didn’t email all weekend, but then it picked up again in emails by the middle of last week, but then he had a 5 day weekend, and now he’s apparently too busy to even check mail. But I guess that’s what we get for trying to find time to see each other when we have other lives.
Well, I’ll write later to tell what happens today. Even if I don’t see him, I have to get out of this house.
