My trying night.

Last night was amazing at first. Michael and I had the kids in daycare so we went to walmart and did some much needed Christmas shopping. Our moods were light, free and flirtatious. It was truly a wonderful time, just holding hands, laughing and being with him. The day had been perfect. We went and picked up the children...that's when things turned for the worse.

Ten years ago Michael got a ticket for excessive use of the left lane up in Green County. Add to the fact that he doesn't have a valid license nor do we have insurance on our vehicle (or legal tags either) He tried all day yesterday to get the damn van legal...we got it inspected and he was going to go take his drivers test, but because of Veteran's Day everything was closed...

Well...as we are driving home, we passed a police officer. Instantly, she spun around and Michael told me she was going to pull us over. Sure enough she did. At first we didn't know about the warrant. (He had called the day before and Polk County said he didn't have any...apparently they just checked Polk County) She comes up to the car, and he tells her the truth that he doesn't have a license or anything. Her whole attitude turned bitchy. Up comes another police car...not even ten minutes later she asks him to step out of the van. My heart stopped, my eyes filled with tears as I watched them take my fiance behind the van and handcuff him. My heart just shattered. The kids instantly freaked out and started crying as well thinking that Michael was going to be hurt. The lady police officer came over to my side and told me to get out and that I needed to go home. I told her I had three kids with me...she asked their ages and I told her 2-7 years old. She said I needed to leave the van here. It was cold...and she made us walk. She was at least nice enough to see how upset we all were and she let us give Michael a hug and kiss before we left. We walked to my mom's house...it was the closest I could get to. I called my ex husband to take us home...he came and was decent. I was hysterical at that point and ended up getting sick in the street. He took us home and at that point I realized I needed to head back to my moms because my phone had gotten wet from my tears and it wasn't working so I couldn't even call to bail him out!! So he took me back over. My sister and her fiance watched the kids while I went and met with my friend Angel who took me up to the police station.

We get there and they were bringing Michael out...The officer (the same one) allowed for me to kiss him again...he had called his aunt and she was on her way to the jail to bail him out. Angel drove me to the jail where I sat for hours until they were ready to release him.

After his release I asked him if he was scared at all...and he said not for himself because bad things don't happen to good people...but that he was scared for me and the kids because he seen how upset we all were. The kids were THRILLED when we went and got them.

Now things are going to be rough...it took $695 all together to get everything taken care of. We have NO money...we are screwed really. Our water hasn't been paid, and neither has our electric yet...and now this.

Last night we just held each other...I was emotional from all of this and just being near him made me feel sooo much better.

I think my ex husband finally realized how much the kids and I care about Michael...and I don't think he minds all that much. It's weird because he instantly came in a heartbeat when I called him.

My Michael is home, he's safe and I love him. That's all that matters now...we are back together.
