My Single Mom Life

I woke with a start this morning, this feeling of something wrong had come over me.
I laid there trying to think of what it was that was wrong, and then it hit me.
I mailed out the child support interrogatories weeks ago, to his lawyer's address, but I had this gut feeling they never made it there.

I took a chance on my gut feeling, and called his attorney's office to ask if the documents had made it there.
When he told me he never got them, a slight panic attack over came me.
The hearing is this Thursday, the 31st, I don't have time to mail them again, and also don't have enough money to get them overnighted to his office.
So I asked him if I could email him the documents, I don't want to postpone the hearing, it's already been pushed back 3 or 4 times, so would he accept an email from me with an attached zip file.
Thankfully, he said yes, and I emailed him the zipped folder with all of my documents in it.
All he'll need to do is open the zipped folder and print them out.

It would have totally sucked if come Thursday, I was held in contempt for not sending the documents, but I know I did.
It cost me $13.00 to have all of those pages printed out at the Pak Mail down by my grocery store, and then another $2.75 to mail them to him because of how heavy the envelope was.
There were 27 pages of printed out documents, it was a heavy envelope.
I should have gotten delivery confirmation, but I didn't.
But he has them now, and hopefully he has everything he asked for.
I told him in the email, that if he needs anything else to contact me, I have no problem making sure he has all the documents that he needs.

I really hope this thing goes well, and we can just get this over with.
The ex has been making slightly larger child support payments for July, and I am thankful for that.
Instead of $21.00, he made 2 payments for $36.84, and 2 payments for $37.10.
It's a good start anyway, it's been $147.00 this month, compared to the $84.00 a month that we have been getting.
What I'd really like is $50.00 per week, $200 per month, the teens just keep growing and they need shoes and clothes, plus all the back to school supplies.
I have to get Sebastian to an orthodontist to see about braces, that's not covered under their Amerigroup insurance, so I need to find an orthodontist who will allow me to make monthly payments, like really low monthly payments.
If I was able to get and count on timely monthly CS payments of $50, I would be able to make the payment plan for $200 per month until the braces are paid off, which would be years, but at least his teeth would be straightened out.
The lowest orthodontist place in the area has payment plans at $199 per month, so yeah, it would be doable at $50 per week CS payments.

Anyway, I'm rambling now, so many things going on in my head, still not feeling very well, so that's my post for the day I guess.
