Okay ...everyone's been in hiding for a couple of weeks now...so...
Update: Started new job and absolutely hate it!
I had to fire 4 people yesterday...2 weeks before Christmas...I feel more evil than Grinch and Scrooge combined right now...
Not sure I like being middle management in the corporate world and have been sending resumes out hoping to step back down into the techie realm and outa management...
Guess I'm just too soft hearted to be the corporate "axe man"
Other than the job life goes on...my oldest and grandbabies are doing well...her divorce is final...and her ex has been transferred to NC - back to LeJuene...She's remaining in SD for the time being while she finishes school....She'll be done after the spring semester and will thankfully then move home.
Bug's still on the honor roll and doing well in other areas of her life as well.
Not much else to report...Miss y'all

.
. My new "son" is moving out and moving in with his sister. There are conflicting reports as to why. What happened was I got an email from the dad that said that his ex wanted him to pay HER and SHE would distribute the money "accordingly". So I was of course confused and asked him "why the change?" He told me she wanted him to pay her and his obligation to the courts was to pay her and he didn't want to get dragged into court and had to get thru the next 3 years (Nathan has a younger brother). So I texted Nathan and said "hey I just got an email from your dad saying that your mom wants him to pay her and she will distribute the money accordingly. Can you tell me what's going on?" So he texts me back "Um I will have my mom call you" So to that I said " wait so you knew about this already?" to which he replied that basically yeah he did, but he was waiting for his mom to talk to me. And I replied back "wow". Then he replied "what?" and I didn't answer. So I get a text from his mom saying "sorry for the confusion I will call you later tonight" So when I talked to her she made it seem that Nathan's dad didn't want to support his second son and would I be willing to take less money and of course I told her yes and I also told her it was the DAD that set the amount not me. So then she says well Nathan will probably be moving in with his sister because he feels like he is intruding and the next day she texted me that she would give me money for the week this month that Nathan was at my house, but that he was moving in with his sister and she thinks it would be better for him to be there!!!!! (she included the exclamation points). So then Nathan avoided coming to my house for a couple of days. Oh she also told the dad that I FLIPPED out on Nathan, which if you count asking a question about him having knowledge about something that will affect my finances flipping out. I only asked him what I told you above. SO bottom line is I think the mom wants the money and was mad that I was getting it because Nathan told me the reason he was moving out was because he missed his family, but his best friend told me that he would be helping his sister out if he moves in with her. Well he has NO job and is very lazy so the only way it helps his sister is if the mom gets the money and gives it to the sister. ALL of that is totally fine because they are a family, I just hate all the drama and lies and I feel like SHE feels like I've done something wrong. And the dad is saying he wanted Nathan to stay at my house so I don't know WHO is telling the truth, but it doesn't matter because GOD is bigger than this and HE will take care of me and my family. Also I feel a big burden lifted because Nathan is lazy and won't do anything to help himself. He wouldn't get a job even though he had friends that could have gotten him a job if he would have made a little effort to just go turn in the ap. He doesn't have his license and he won't even read the manual online to take his test to get his permit. He couldn't even do 2 online classes. He failed and then gave up and decided that he wanted to just get his GED but he couldn't even look up online where to do that and how much it costs or take any practice tests. And my older son also seems relieved becaus it was getting to him that Nathan was just sitting around while my son goes to school and works. You can't help someone that doesn't want to be helped. So PRAISE THE LORD!
Michelle, I care
