We did get the roof fixed. All the dumb storms blowing by us. My how is it that when the kids go back the school they school nickles and dimes us to death. For my son, he needed a locker, lock and uniform, $25.00. A Chorus collar shirt $15.00. A locker for shop $5.00. School supplies ? Letter to the school explaining we can not afford this and having all fee's waved and supplies taken care of ....like the credit card....Priceless. forget the PTA fees or the fundraisers. The school tried to charge my son lunch when it is free the first day and the lady running the register told him tough nuggets made me mad. I gave her a nice letter the school sent me saying it was free.
My oldest worked 8 days straight the fist week back to work and was happy to report a 40 cent increase in her pay. She worked 35 hours now and qualifies for benefits. Social services said no way to not applying her income to the household income because we told them she is saving it for college and a car and it brought down our income almost $300.00. It will bring our food income up almost the same amount so It evens out. I like it better this way because now we won't starve the last 10 days of the month. Tommorow my husband and I are having our appointments with our doctor. He did his first weekend in jail. The lawyer said he would file for reconsideration after three or four successful weekend visits. We are being thrown out of the library now. will update in a few days when I can get back here.
