I'm an idiot

I received a refund from a utility bill but it was in X's name, so I took a chance and went over there to see if he would sign it over to me. He came out crying, hugging, etc. He wanted copies of a few documents so he could work on bringing his new wife over I guess. No problem.

However, the man is failing health wise. He is too thin, has a black spot on his leg that looks sinister and needs to be removed, he hasn't been taking his kidney medications and is peeing blood. Last check his kidney function was a satisfactory 40%. Now, he has no health insurance and no money. He isn't selling cars well, so may not keep that job. He had some sort of car accident and has to pay someone for that. Long story short, I ended up feeling like I need to be giving him money.

I even said that I would pay him to mow the lawn. Dunno why I think he can actually start it and finish it now or why I would pay him!? I'm an idiot.

Sux.

It was a rough weekend. I was feeling pretty blue to begin with--grieving the loss of my little family which has shattered to pieces, leaving just me and my son under one roof. Dunno what precipitated that pity party, but it was going on since Thursday. Friday, Son's father didn't call, text, or come to pick him up. Son was not inclined to make the effort either. I guess he figures that if his father wants him, he'd initiate. Saturday morning was particularly rough because Son had Saturday School---kind of like detention on Saturday, for being tardy to class after PE. Moving fast is not his strong suit ever. Plus, he doesn't wake up and get going easily either. Basically, Saturday was filled with Son's fussing, homework, tears, slamming of doors,and lot's of I-hate-you's. Yeah, pretty miserable all the way around. I think maybe it was a reaction to how he feels about what's happening with his dad. OR not happening. It culminated in Son sobbing in hi

Okay, we just did a Keystone Cops routine . I went in, puppies ran out. English bulldog from next door chased puppies around the yard. I chased English bulldog who was chasing the puppies around the yard, into my house where I chased them all aroun d again until they all ran back outside. Got puppies back in and English bulldog out. Opened the door to call my son in, and they were off!!!!! Did it all again, but this time, the neighbor lady and her daughter chased the bulldog who was chasing the puppies and I chased her and her daughter who were chasing the puppies, back into my house again. Whew, I'm tired!

X's birthday, X in law birthdays... what should I do

Oh, I almost forgot. I have a question for you all. My X's mother's birthday just passed. His father's birthday is in a week or so and his birthday a bit after. I thought about having the kids call their Oma (grandma) to wish happy birthday but opted not to. I think he should be responsible for that. What do I do about this and/or his upcoming birthday? Do I have the kids do something? He didn't bother for me last year when we were separated..... Ideas anyone?
