So I volunteered for yet another High-spanic Health Coalition thing today so I could get another free lunch. It was a good lunch, too, fajitas. And it looks like I'll be able to go to Polka Freakout tomorrow night at the CC after all since Mano made a very generous $10 donation to the Adela Musical Outing Fund. He was at our house when I got home from Job #2 last night and I was in the worst mood b/c I had to fill out the financial statement from our lawyer using S's paystub--and yes, I had to do it b/c I manage all the household finances and S knows nothing about them b/c he's terrible with money. Mano and S said I needed a night out on the town to which I replied that we had no $ for that anymore and Mano said he would finance it. I refused, saying politely as I could that I don't accept handouts, but he insisted, saying he'd been working some overtime lately and wanted me to go. He dropped a $10 bill on the couch next to me, and that was the only way I accepted it. Then I went upstairs and cried b/c of Mano's kindness!
Later on Mano took S out for some Starbucks and they brought me back some kind of delicious low-fat coffee cake and I ate the whole thing. Then I took a Valium and passed out.
Today S and I decided that it's definitely time for a change. Once he gets his teeth fixed next Tuesday, he will quit his job on Wednesday since that's also the day we have to go to court. Then he says he can start working at Toyota on Thursday. I hope this plan works b/c he's supposed to have Sundays off which will help me tremendously. All I do on my weekends are work at Job #2, take care of the baby, clean house, and go on patrol. I NEED help and we need family time on Sundays. And I don't see how the money could possibly be any worse than what he's making now. The other good thing is that now we can change having the baby's b-day party on Saturday night June 2 at 8pm to a more reasonable day/time of Sunday June 3.
