So Far So Good

The school year is off to a great start. I have been in contact with all of the 8th graders teachers ( their doing not mine). They have either called or e-mailed to introduce themselves and touch base. They all believe her to be a wonderful girl and a great student doing a great job! [...]

Things Are Looking Up

This past week I really have to say have been relatively pleasant. Mom is slowly coming out of her funk and I able to see mom again. Her doctor has worked with me and we now have a visiting nurse that come twice a week and she is in therapy.
My friends that lived in FL [...]

She Agreed To Get Help

Finally………………….I am tickled pink but holding my breath. Things apparently went really well yesterday. She agreed to set up another appointment and also agreed to see their doctor next week. Her mood yesterday was nasty as always but it wasn’t a bitter nasty.
I think that she was able to vent some of her anger else [...]

Intervention Time

Okay so the family stepped in and did an intervention with “Mrs. McNasty” last night. It went better than expected and she did at least agree to go and speak with someone today but it turned into a finger pointing session. I expected it too anyway because it always does. It was all about me [...]

No End In Sight

I feel like I am beating my head against a brick wall. I set out today trying to find some help for “Mrs. McNasty” and hit a dead end. I was told that under no uncertain terms unless she poses a threat to herself or others can anything be done. Mental health of others doesn’t [...]

Mrs. McNasty Is At It Again

As if you hadn’t already guessed yes it’s mother. Her and hubby got in to it last night over the kids. She has just been her normal unpleasant self lately and yelling at the kids for no reason. Zoe was playing with her toys at the table last night and she just started yelling at [...]

Ready For A Warm Up

Is it only me or did we get spoiled by the 70 degree days we had. I am sick of the cold weather. It just makes no sense to me how it can be 80 degrees one day and snow the next. I want Spring back. We have lots in bloom. I want to be [...]

The Hunt Continues

Well I set out bright and early yesterday on a job hunt. I filled out about 6 applications before I started to feel bad again so I headed home. I am hoping that someone calls next week. There are still a few applications that I need to do on-line. It’s amazing how many companies are [...]

On A Job Hunt

I am heading out today on a job hunt. I am torn because I desperately need to find a job. I have my applications in at both jails. I am having to weight my options on a quick buck or hold out for benefits. Granted the benefits only cover me opposed to the entire family [...]

My Non Productive Day

I set out today with big plans and lots to accomplish. I set out to Sears to make a return on a part that I ordered to just to find out that the closest place to return it was in Springfield. I could make the trip there and receive my refund immediately or I can [...]
