her truth

happy when he is not home

After they failed Thanksgiving, Sandra promised herself she was not going to do it again, she was overly mad at Diego for the fact he got drunk, threw up all around the toilet, and then blamed her for not feeding him during the time she was getting the house ready for everyone, cleaning, taking care of herself given she was sick and taking care of the girls while Diego was to the garage to be drinking the time away.
Has a few weeks went, they got into a schedule where Diego worked 5 days a week, then on the weekends he would fix cars, Sandra really couldn't understand this, he made about 1,500 every pay check and they didn't really spend the money, Diego always said to Sandra they were broke but she didn't know where all the money was going, so Diego would work on the weekends for maybe 100 or so but Sandra was not stupid, he would work on cars for his friends, which ment he was drinking and smoking and having his time.
However Sandra started not to really care that he wasn't there, given when he was, he would sexually assault her all the time, wouldn't stop touching her even when she was cleaning and taking care of the girls, Sandras father saw this and did talk to Sandra about it a few times for Sandra to let him know there's wasn't anything she could really do, other then that her father kept to himself.
By this weekend, morning was different, Diego got up when the sun was warm to then leave, after he ate the great breakfast Sandra made for her to then load the girls in the car that actually worked this time to then go get her mother, she came over every now and then to hang out with the girls and her give Sandra a much needed break.
Sandra was always cleaning, always taking care of her father, taking care of the girls, taking care of Diego who didn't really take care of himself, Sandra did everything without much sleep or much eating given she had to. If she didn't do anything Diego would start an argument and called her last which Sandra wasent she was overly stimulated and tired given she did everything.
Parked, Sandra got out under the car port to then leave the girls within eye shot to then go to her mother to help with her luggage, this weekend her mother was going to spend the night, the two smiled at the other to talk a bit for Sandra to place the luggage into the car to then go about for her mother to go in for them to then go to the coffee shop to then get chocolate milks for the girls and coffee for them.
Driving Sandras mother looked to her.
"So how is everything going?"
Sandra shrugged.
"It's going. I'm so tired today. Didn't get to really sleep."
Didn't help Diego and I had sex when he came home late from work. Told him no but does he listen.
Her mother looked to her..
"Sorry to hear that, if your okay with it, I can go for a small walk with the girls and you can sleep."
Sandra nodded.
"I'll try."
"Good, how is your father doing?"
"He's lying in bed today, his COPD is getting to him."
"How long has he been in there?"
"Only a few days, I make his meals and make sure I check up on him."
"That's good, so he is eating?"
"Yes he is. Always cream of wheat. I don't know why he likes it so much."
"Well with sprinkles it's good."
Sandra then looked to the rear view mirror to were over Emily.
"Music, music music!"
Sandra couldn't help but to laugh to then place on music for her daughter. Emily loved to hear music in there car, Sandra then looked to Sarah who started to sing along also.
The rest of the the was a good one, going to her home, Sandra helped her mother in for her to go upstairs to check on her father, Sandra watched that to then go to the kitchen to get something to eat for the girls, for Sandras mother to come down.
"He's still breathing."
"I hope so."
The girls surrounded there grandmother for Sandra to have food to the trays to go about to place them to the table.
"Sandra, I'm going to take the girls to the back, you should go upstairs to sleep."
Sandra signed to then nod to get up to go about to head upstairs, she was really tired, this was the only break she could get, Diego never ever let her have a break and consistently made her feel like crap for even wanting one.
Inside she took off her contacts to then draw the shades to then do just that.
Sandra then woke up from her alarm about an hour later to then stretch to eye about, Sandra got up to yawn.
Feeling a bit better, she then got up to place the contacts back in to go to relieve herself to then go out from her bedroom to then go to her father's room to see he was asleep, she then turned to then leave to go downstairs, Sandra looked about to sign, there was a complete mess downstairs, she then eyed up to look through the window to see her children having a lot of fun with there grand mother, Sandra shrugged to then go about to clean, she knew whenever Diego came home, if he saw this mess, he would get into an argument with Sandra and she was not going to have it at all.
Cleaning everything, she then was able to actually make a meal for herself to then sit to eye forward to watch has her children was having a blast outside with her mother.
This type of thing made Sandra so very happy, she then turned her head to roll her eyes, Diego came in after he took off his shoes to go to the brown chair to sit down to eye over the television with a face.
Sandra signed to finish her meal to then make something for Diego, to then go outside not to deal with his attitude.
