SUDOKU!

I love this new puzzle game that has come out. It's very addicting, but it can be challenging. Looks like there are several sites you can play on. I have been doing the books, so I think I'm going to try the the game online.

Myspace Layouts

I think I might be just skightly addicted to looking at all the different myspace layouts. Over the weekend I have been looking and really havn't found 1 that suites me. I will look after I'm done posting here. I love to look at all the different layouts..it passes my time..lol

Christmas Day

We were going to have Christmas on Christmas Eve, but my brother said that they wanted us to come over and spend Christmas at their house. Didn't think they wanted us over ther ebecause of my dad, but they all over looked it and now we are going to go over there.

Christmas Shopping

I'm finally getting Christmas shopping done. Andrew seems to always want the most expensive things, I did get 1 thing that was like 85 bucks. I got Andrew and Jarrod around 4 things and Christian around 6 things, that s about all I can do this year. I did get Sean around 4 things I think..lol. We should all have a good Holiday.

Hearing Part 2

LOL, well he never called into the hearing to plead his reasonings as to why he can't afford it..so if it looks like I might get my 490.00 after all. Not sure how this all works, but I wouldn't see why I couldn't get the money, but how knows how this is all going to turn out.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

The smell of turkey, and stuffing is about to take hold in my house. The smell is so yummy!! I'm still not done cooking, will do more after I watch the Macy's Parade. We are having of course turkey, stuffing, mashed taters, gravy, homemade macaroni salad, green bean casserole, sweet potatoes, a veggie, and rolls. Desserts are pecan pie and pumpkin. Have a wonderful Gobble Day!!

Hearing

Well I'm gonna have to have a hearing for my child support, the day before Thanksgiving. Not sure how this is all going to work out. Im still very ticked about this darn hearing to begin with. I hope he doesn't call in, then I would win by default..lol

Job!

Sean did the job after his class, YAY!! We sure needed to have other money coming in, and now I can start thinking about getting some Christmas Shopping done. It's nice to have some income coming in, way better then unemployment, that runs out after a certian time.

Christmas Music

Well, started to listen to Christmas music today..lol. I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet, well I'm in the Christmas Mood...lol. Christmas is always such a great time of the year, I can never get tired of seeing or hearing anything Christmas. I have to many favorite songs to even list..lol. Happy Holidays!! :)

Halloween

This year for Halloween Christian won't be trick or treating, because it falls on a riday night, so instead we will have the older boys stand in the room with the door closed, and have Christian knock on the door to get his candy. It's the only thing we can do this year, but he is to little to understand anyway.

No Money

I wish that I could get a job, and with Sean doing the class, I can't really do that. We are just living off of his unemployment, so that money sure doesn't go very far, I hope Sean can get hired after his class.

Child Support

Well I want to get more in child suort, because 199.00 a month for 2 kids isn't enough. I had it modified, to see if the mount would raise, and yes it does go up alot, to 490.00 a month, well the kids dad is wanting a hearing, because he says he can't afford to pay that amount to me. Now I'm ticked as I have been getting 199.00 since 2003 when he went and modified it, and I didn't bitch. Now I have to wait and see when the hearing is going to be.

Van

We had to let the realy nce White 2006 van go and get a crappy one, because the paments on the white van where like 400.00, and the crappy van payments are 220.00, so that is a big difference. I didn't want to do that, but if we ever want to move out, that is what we had to do.

CNA Classes

Sean has started CNA classes. He will be in class till the end of October. This is something that he has been wanting to do for long time now. I'm sure he will be really good at it.

School Supplies

Man seems like every year, I spend more money on supplies fr school. They need something different every year. This school here for Jarrod, I pay 15 bucks and he just gets his supplies at the school. That saves me from having to go to Walmart and shop for them myself.

Nothing to do

I have nothing to do here, seems all I do is the same thing every dy, just play on the computer. I have a friend, but she doens't want to do anyting with me, so whatever, no biggie I wil live. I just need to find someting to do.

Seans B-day

Sean has his b-day on the 29th, and we went out to eat at HomeTown Buffet. We are still getting unemployment from IL, so we decided to get out and go eat. I got him a game for his b-day. That's all I can afford.

My Mom

It's really hard to live with my mom, and we will have to be here for long time, UGH! We have no option but to stay here, but it will be nice to get out on our own. That will be next year sometime.

July 4th

Well we managed to have a good July 4th, we BBQed and got money to get about 200 bucks worht of fireworks, and it took about 2 hours to get through them all. It was fun, Christian fell asleep, and my mom was sorta sleeping, but I was awake to see it. It was a fun day.

Church

We have been going to church, and for the kids, it's a change. We go to church on Saturday, and se we can't do anything from Friday sunset to Saturday sunset. That's what's really hard for the kids to get used to.

Christians 2

Christian is now 2, he turned 2 on May 30th. We had a little b-day party for him at my moms house. He had a Diego party, and I got him a few Diego things for his b-day, and he's loving them.

We're Here

We made it to Oregon in 2 1/2 days, my dad and I drove past the speed limit, so we could get here faster. The second day was a mess, we say an accisdent, and almost got hit by that, and just some fluke ice dropped on the road and it made it really slippery, saw more accidents, man I tell you that was the longest day on the road.

Leaving

Well my dad flew in from Washington, and he will help me drive the van to Oregon. Sean and him are getting things packed into the trailer, and tomorrow we are getting up and heading out on the road. We are planning on getting up at 5am to get a really early start. I hve never driven that far so I hope things will be ok, since I do have a almost 2 year old in the van.

Garage Sale

We are going to have a garage sale, so we can get a few bucks and to get rid of some of your crap..lol. We will see how many people will show up. I hope alot as we need the money to move with.

B-day

My b-day is coming up on the 30th and man I tell you I'm really not looking for my b-day each year. Not doing anything special, just another day old. Going to be 33, yuck..lol.

Packing

Now that we know we are mving to Oregon, we have been packing up and tryin to get the things that we don't use packed up first. It does take awhile to get this done. I have always hated packing and unpacking, I wish I could wave a wand it all be done..lol.

YAY MOVING!

Well we know now That we can move, and we are moving to Oregon. We have a semi trailer on reserve to get our stuff sent to Oregon. We pack the items and load it, they get it to Oregon, and we load it and unpack it. We are planning to move into my moms ouse, because she is supposed to be moving back with my dad. We will see if this all comes together the way we want it.

Cleaning

We have started cleaning the really messy basement, so we can start packing. It's so messy it will take use several days, working a couple hours a time to get this darn basement done. It will be worth it tho, as we want to get the hell out of here.

Ralphie

I want over to St Louis and picked up Ralphie and he will be here for 1 week. He likes coming to vist, so he can spend time with the boys. He really has been enjoying his time here.

Grandma Passing

Seans Grandma, Christians greatgrandma died on Valentines. He wasn't really close to her. To him she wasn't a very good grandmother, and she had her favorites, and Sean wasn't one of them. We couldn't get over to St Louis for the funeral, and we were the only ones not there. It's hard when you live like 1 1/2 hours away, and you can't get off work.

Big

Christian sure is getting big, he is having a little trouble talking, but I'm sure he will start taking more soon. He has a speech and a physical therapist come and see him every week, and he is doing better each time.

Taxes

Well trying to get all my w2s together so we an start getting our taxes filed. We are going to take the refund and use some if it to move on. The other part of the money will be used for bills and other stuff.

Moving

So we can't move to St Louis, because of course we have bad credit. The good side of this, is that we might get to move to Oregon. This place over here has nothing for us, it's really small. All I can say is that Oreogn has got to be better then this place.

Wanting to Move

We are wanting to move away from Effingham, IL. We want to move either back to St Louis, or to Eugene Oregon. We might not be able to move to St Louis, because the people there might not be able to help us, because we have such horrible credit. If that won't work, then we will move to Oregon, and see if we can move into one side of my moms duplex that she rents, we will see.
