So last night I took a trip to Peoria with Elli to get some last minute things for Kara's baby shower that is this Saturday. While I was there I snuck in a cheat meal and had some Arbys and boy was it gooooood!!! :) That isn't the best part, while we were eating Andy called me and said he had something to talk to me about but would wait until I got home....don't you just hate that!
I got home and we sat down at the table and he informed me that he talked to my step-dad who had just talked with my grandma. Now, when my mom quit her job she cashed in her retirement and put a chunk of money in my grandma's hands open an account for our wedding. My grandma did not put my moms name on the account at first because she knew my mom might eventually be in financial trouble and might want to take from the account. After awhile, and in the middle of my grandma's sickness (cancer and surgeries) she decided to add my mom's name just incase. **I did not want my name on the account, in case I was tempted to borrow money-- that is too large of a sum to have my name on it= aka, I dont trust myself.
Well....anyways, my grandma found out that my mom took $600 out of the account. When she asked my mom about it she said "its my money, I can do with it what I want." AHHHHH...are you kidding me! She put this money in the account for our wedding and now that she is working a shit job and is with a lame-ass man that can't get a job because his rap sheet is as long as my legs doesn't mean she can just take money from that account!
Needless to say, Andy and I are going to be frantically buying things for the wedding and getting as much as we can paid for incase she decides she needs a few more hundred dollars to tie her over.
I wish I could rewind my life to 2 years ago when she was happily married with a great job and a happy family and tell her that she is about to make the biggest mistake of her life and convince her to stay strong! Life doesn't work that way however so I must pray and trust in God--what a big task for a bride-to-be with a mom in a crap hole situation.

ReplyDeleteI am so sorry. That sucks. I am sure your wedding will be fantastic no matter what.
I love you.
thanks Kara. I would have never guessed my mom would do that to us. We need to talk to your mom on Saturday and get an estimate so we can pay a majority of the total just in case. We can always pay more that day if possible. I want to get the major things squared away so we dont have to worry about it last minute.
