My husband will be home tonight, so his 6 week long absence will finally be at an end. I know he is ready to be home and frankly I'm ready for him to be back! The first 4 weeks were ok but these last 2 weeks have been kind of brutal mentally. I've been up and down with some depression, lonely, etc. Not use to having him gone so long. But all that ends tonight! Ya! My kids have handled it quite well, and I did get to spend some nice time with them. We went to a Murder Mystery Dinner playhouse last week which was so much fun! This week I took them to the art museum in downtown Denver then we walked around for a bit and had an early dinner in downtown Denver. That was really nice. I also finally went out for drinks with a few friends, so this week was busier than usual but still miss my DH.
In other news, I have called the attorney and spoke with him a few times, still no response so I'm submitting my response to summons today. Will be taking it to the courthouse in about an hour. In my response I did mention that last year as well as these past two weeks we have tried to work out a payment plan, I stated we are unable to understand how to make arrangements for this debt if we do not receive responses back from the plaintiff! I do hope the judge sees that and forces them to actually give us some sort of response or starting point. If they would have done that last year I'm sure we would have been well on our way getting this account under control.
But I must say I'm glad something is being done, this is 76K of our debt in collections and if we work something out that will only leave to credit cards in collections. So as slow as it seems we are working through this mess. We have settled 3 cards already, which their balances totalled some where around 40 - 45k, would have to look back at my posts to see the exact amount, we have also paid for a 5K used car, paid off 9k - 10K for our business loan, paid down our card by about 8K and paid 9K of new debt (medical bills) all in the last 18 months. So we have made tremedous progress and with each step forward my stress level goes down alittle! (although their have been A LOT of bumps in the road) We are still moving forward.
Will update you on what the court says once I know.

Yay, by the time you read this comment, your hubby will be back. That is good news for you. :)
I hope they work something out with you for the HELOC. It seems like it has just been dragging on. Now that it will be in the court system, things should move along quicker. It will be nice to get this issue out of the way so you can move on to bigger and better.
I know now that your hubby is home, you will feel better and not feel down and lonely. Now that my husband works overnights and we have zero days off together, I now know how you have been feeling. It is great to get some "me" time and alone time with the kids but it always feels like something is missing. I know, sometimes we gotta do what we gotta do. :)
