Stephanie, it's a tough situation you are in. I don't have easy answers (or really, any tough answers, either) but I do have lots of supportive thoughts for you - ~ma for you to hold on, and some for the father of your baby, that he can work his way through whatever this challenge is, so he can come out the other side and justify your belief in him.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I don't have any advice, Stephanie, but it sounds like what you need isn't advice so much as empathy, and that I have. {{hugs}}

And half and half is .99 for a pint at TJ's.
Really?! I know butter is cheaper there, but now I am going to have to price it at my local TJ's (I have a local TJ's! It's still so awesome to say that!) because that's .30 cheaper than my Hy-Vee.

Or you can follow the advice of my great-aunt, who told me that if I drank 10 cups of coffee black, I'd never go back.

Ew, black coffee.
Stephanie, good luck. That sounds tough, and I know you're close to others he's close to, so whatever it is, is probably stressy for all. Hope it turns out all well.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Or sleep. Or, probably, crawl off of the ceiling. Mmm, coffee.
Really?!
Right? And that is the only item I can price off of the top of my head but I saw it when I was there tonight. I didn't even buy any. Clearly I noticed because I needed to tell Buffistas.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I phrased that badly. She recommended 10 cups in a row, not necessarily on the same day. These days it's possible that half-and-half is cheaper than coffee.

Cass' work here (for tonight) is done.
I...got everything on my to-do list for today done. I think I'll read a book and polish my nails! CRAZY.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
TJ's Alert: They're clearing out their pumpkin souffles, which are delish. It's eighty nine cents for a package of four. They're frozen. You cook it into your muffin pan and it's yummy.

I've taken my coffee black lots of times, but I still prefer it with cream usually.
