Yesterday was a surprising day,
He came to pick up our youngest,
whilst he was here, number one son
was looking for some cash, you know
the mam, Im going out, any chance of a few bob.

Im like do you do this, did you do that,
now he did this, but not that.
So I was dragging it out because I want him
to understand if he doesnt help out here,
he is not going to be handed cash like as my dad used to say,
it doesnt grow on trees, it needs to be earned.

Anyway, it was also difficult for me, because someone in
admin messed up in work, and because it was a bank holiday,
for St Patricks day, the wages did not go in on time,
and it would be monday, before the cash showed in the bank.

We at work were not happy bunnies,
but what can you do, although we moaned,
it wasnt going to change the situtation, so I was telling,
my son, blah blah, anyway, he, the ex,
heard what I was saying, and asked what had happened,
so I told him, It surprised me that I did not want to tell
him, I felt like saying mind your own business,
but what the heck, I told him.

He said I will see if I can bring back some money, for you,
now that was a surprise,
so I said, sure I'll probably be okay, but whatever.

When he was gone, I gave the son a few bob transferring it online into
his account, whilst I was online, it showed up in my account
that my wages had gone in,
it seems my bank does the monday morning banking
on a saturday,
what a great bank, this week.

When he brought number 3 child home,
he handed me some money, that was a real
surprise, to be honest it went deeper than a surprise
it was a shock. I told him the bank had put in the money,
it was okay, and then I had an even bigger shock,
he told me to hold on to the cash anyway,

Holy jasus, that took some absorbing.
It is so odd how, uncomfortable
he seemed to be giving it to me,
and how uncomfortable I was to
accept it. Weird, I cant really explain it,
maybe it was because it was unexpected or maybe
it was because I dont want him to be nice
to me, I dont know, but I took it,
said you dont have to but thanks,
and put it in my emergency fund.
Of course in my mind I spoiled it, by saying to myself,
well he owed me for the shower money, and the
half towards the 21st party, maybe that is my self defense,
or maybe it is Im a bitch,
probably a bit of both.

To cheer this post up, the girls, my sister, nephew and myself,
went to Dublin to see the Tutankhamun exhibition today, and
then we had a walk about town, it was good to just do something,
together.
I love hanging out with the kids and of course with
my sister, earth angel, best bud. I am looking forward to the
summer I think we will do that a lot more as the weather improves.
