No job
      06/16/08 08:13 AM

Well...so X is jobless now. He said working for his brother in law just "wasn't working out". I have no idea what he's going to do, we go to court next week and if he doesn't have a job by then I'm not sure what will happen. He said he was sending DHS money from his work last week - we shall see.

Father's Day was good. I had DS make him a card, and have recently had DS's pics professionally done and had some framed for him. He seemed appreciative, so that was nice.

Saturday night I had a wedding. I asked XH on Monday if he was going to be back in town by then b/c if not I'd get a babysitter (this past weekend was actually his weekend). He just kept going around it all week so I went ahead and got a sitter...who at the last minute had to cancel. (I wouldn't have minded taking DS to the wedding but with him being so sick last week I didn't want to take him around a lot of people). So I call up exBIL...who if you remember he and his wife (XH's sister) and I still have a good relationship and used to watch DS when I had class last semester, etc. We never kept that from XH - XH just never figured it out until yesterday. I did text him Saturday night one last time b/c he emailed me and said he'd be home but that he'd pick up DS on Sunday, so I didn't bother with it. So anyway...after he left my place with DS at noon yesterday I guess DS was talking about being at exBIL and exSIL's house and XH called up exBIL and reamed him for it. exBIL and XH only get along b/c X is his sister's brother...they don't have a very good relationship but exBIL tries to give him advice when needed, etc. (he's 16 years older than XH). Basically XH started cussing him out that he watched DS, exBIL reminded him that he was in town Saturday night but didn't want to watch him, that he has no problem helping me out and that he's done it several times, b/c it's not about X or me it's about our son - DS has always been close with them and they have a little boy who's just 2 months older than DS. They're also DS's Godparents and have always been a large part of his life. And also told X that wouldn't he rather DS be with family he can trust than with someone he doesn't know (exBIL didn't realize the babysitter is one of DS's daycare teachers).

So anyway...long story short (or is it too late?!)...exBIL basically said your son is your son and just b/c you and J aren't married anymore doesn't mean your sister and I can't be apart of his life, and I guess that shut XH up. X hasn't said anything to me about it - and I wouldn't be worried if he did. exBIL just told him unless X he has anything to hide...why should he be worried...and the conversation ended there.

So anyway I'm really just blabbing now!!! I hope everyone had an awesome weekend. PLEASE keep XH in your prayers that he finds a job soon...not just for DS's sake but also for exDSD's and for his own.
