New years eve

We have had a fun weekend. My brother and sister in law from Tennessee came down this weekend to visit dad and us. We went out and had lunch Saturday and got to visit a little.

Our heat went out today so we had to have somebody out to fix it. He got thou just a little while ago. It's supposed to be 44 in the morning and Wednesday morning drop to 27.

We are flying K back early from her dads up in Michigan. She comes back on the 1st. He has been treating her like crap, cussing her out etc. He agreed to pay half of her ticket back but is giving C crap about child support. The guy is such a asshole. Just about everyday we have talked to K she has been upset or sounded down about something. I feel for her. Thank God my dad isn't like that. I am so ready for her to come back home and be happy. Just talked to her while I am typing this and they are supposed to have a major storm hit up there tonight. She is worried she won't be able to get to the airport. Keep us in your prayers.

Tonite is amature night and I have to work. Hopefully it will be a good night without a bunch of stupid crap going on. Last night we were pretty busy at the bar and the place got a little rowdy, but there were no fights. My boss the owner, tore his bicep the other night dumping trash at his wife's bar so we are down a man. The main man. I hope things don't get rough.

Well Y'all have a good one and I'll talk at ya next year!

Back to work

Hey Y'all!
Christmas went well. We had several friends over Christmas eve. I never drink much but that night I polished off about a half a fifth of rum. I didn't get stupid drunk, just kind of mellow. We made stockings for everybody. It was great. K got to open one present Christmas eve. 9am Christmas day K came running thou the house hollering "It's Christmas day! everybody wake up!". We opened presents and enjoyed the day. Later on that morning we went to see dad in the nursing home and brought him a stocking. He was direct that he didn't want anything for Christmas. We filled his stocking full of goodies one of which was caramel squares. He was happy to see us and get those. Dad had several other visitors for Christmas too. I think that was more important to him than getting a gift.

I am back to work now. Just got off a little while ago. I am only getting 3 nights this week which hurts the wallet. But oh well, what can ya do? I am broke as hell from Christmas. But it's O.K. It was all worth it. Now C and I are playing catch up. We will be fine. (I hope.lol)

K flew up to Michigan to see her family up there. I miss her terribly already. I don't like her dad for a lot of reasons that I won't get into on here. He is already starting bullshit with C. He's good about being consistent in starting bullshit and I just expect it anymore. She called me this evening about the time I was heading out for work. She was going to her favorite burger joint up there. We did some text messaging and I let her know I miss her a lot and love her. She said the same and she is homesick. So far the trip is going good for her though. 10 days and I'll get my daughter back home. I never knew I would feel this way about a child. I love her like she is my own flesh and blood.

New years is coming and I don't know what my schedule is yet. I am a little concerned since I only got three days this week. One day this week is a day I take off for club church though. I am hoping to get at least 4 days next week if not 5. Keep your fingers crossed.

Y'all take care now ya hear!

3am and a post

Hey Y'all!
Just thought I would drop in for a short post.

C started a new job last week. So far things are going good. We got our well in and up and running. Good clean water.

We are still too broke to have a good Christmas as far as a lot of presents go but we have the major ones bought. We took care of K which is the main thing. C already has her big presents. I am happy to provide for my family and if I don't get anything "big" I won't be disappointed. K is supposed to fly up north to the land of ice and snow to see her dad Christmas day and I will miss her. Christmas day we are going to have some chicken and a friend of ours is supposed to drop by. This is going to be one of the best Christmas's ever because I have never had a family (significant other and daughter) living together to spend it with. I had my family growing up and I miss those family Christmas's like we use to have before my mother died.

I hope every one who reads this finds joy in the season.

God Bless,
Cornbread

Ho Ho Humbug?

Hey Y'all,
Back for another post. I just got my computer back from the doctors. It was bad sick. 97 bucks later and it's running like a champ.

We are getting ready for Christmas. The tree is up and wreath on the door. I didn't usually do much for Christmas because when I was single, Christmas was just another expensive holiday that I wished was over before it started. It's not even Christs birthday. It's the day the church celebrates his birthday and has a mass for it thus Christ-mas(s). But I digress. I am happy that I have C and K to spend it with this year as a family. K wants a certain type of camera that is pink. Of course we can't find one that we can afford with the features she wants. Welcome to Christmas huh? LoL I just want some socks and some more t shirts with pockets on them and mabe a pair of underwear or two.

We are struggling right now because we don't have alot of money coming into the household. C had her job she was promised yanked out from under her feet unfairly which I can't get into on here. She is putting alot of time into trying to find work but this is a hard time of the year for what she does. Lord knows she gets frustrated and discouraged but I have to hand it to her, she is tenacious and doesn't give up. Pray something will come along soon so we can survive.

Dad is doing well. He really wants to come home from the nursing home real bad but I don't think he is in any condition to do so.
