Hi everyone!  I'm a long time lurker of this community, but have used TONS of the advice here.  So since ya'll are so helpful, I figured I'd crawl out of lurkerdom and ask for some help.

I am a Cub Scout den leader for my son's den.  Our Blue and Gold Awards dinner is just around the corner and the theme is Celebrating our Armed Forces.  We have to decorate our den table according to the theme and there is a contest too.  I've wracked my pea brain for affordable ideas and haven't been able to come up with anything.  I'm trying to avoid spending a ton of money because ultimately, *I* will end up buying most everything for this.

So Poor Skillers, HELP?!?

Happy New Year to all of you!  I'll be celebrating the same way that I did last year - working.  Which is to say that I won't be celebrating.  Instead I'll be dispensing alcoholic beverages to the new years partiers.  Have one for me, willya?  And please don't drink and drive.

My 2008 recap is this - it sucked.  Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out 2008.  

Here's to a much better new year.  A fresh start in 2009 for all of us!

It's Over!!!

This is the only picture that we have of the 6 of us since Two was born in 2006.  One of these days we will get our butts to get some real pictures made.  But for now, I’ll take this :)
Two and Five.  They both had such a blast tearing into the gifts that Santa left them.  (Note the lovely artwork that they have left on my walls.)

I’m just so angry.  I wanted to tell all of you what a great week that we had last week at Day Camp, but my ex-husband ruined that for me.  In February, we agreed to a temporary reduction in child support because his income had went down.  This was of course informal and just a verbal agreement.  He was fairly regular about being on time, until this month.  His wife told me that he would pay on 7/18.  Well Friday came and went, and when he dropped Four off this week, I asked her where the check was and she told me to ask him.  So I asked him and he was like ask the wife.  I told him that I already did and she said to talk to him.  He was like I’ll have to go back to the house to get it.  Of course, I never hear from him.  So I went over there to pick it up from her this morning and she was like I told him that he’d needed to talk to you about it.  Of course with no more details.  I just looked at her and was like so I’m not getting child support this month.  That was Four’s birthday money.  Which it was - I planned on that to spend on his party and a gift for him.  I text messaged him and as usual, he’s not answering.

They are supposed to take Ten, Six and Four on vacation next week.  I feel like if he can’t afford child support, they shouldn’t be able to go on vacation with him.  I’m sorry, its just the way I feel.  Its not fair to them to punish them because of hiim, but WTF!

Sorry that this is all mushed together and run on like, but damn.  And I still don’t feel any better.  I’m off to cry and try to plan a different party for Four now.  And I have no idea what to do.

I am off for the next 5 days for Cub Scout Day Camp.  Six is participating this year, and since he is only a Tiger Cub, I have to be there anyways, so I volunteered to help out this week.  I am his group's Den Leader, which shows you the level of my insanity. Did I mention that it's 100 degrees out?  Yeah, I thought the SAME thing.  I'm stoooopid!

Ten was supposed to help out, but when I got in from work this morning, he had woken up and said that he wasn't feeling good and his throat really hurt.  I could look a him and tell that he had a fever.  I took his temp, and yep - 103.8.  So this morning I dropped him at Local Sister's house and she said that she'd take him to the doctor's office for me.  I figured it was a case of strep, my boys seem to be prone to it at very inopportune times.  Apparently, the strep test was negative, and the doc said that he has Mono.  SHIT, SHIT, SHIT!  I never had mono as a kid, so I have no idea what to do with him!  I know that it can last for a long time, the weakness and being tired.  Ugh, school starts soon, August 7th, I'm hoping that he will be better by then.  Since I didn't get to take him to the office though, I have a call into the doctor that saw him.  I am actually requesting that Ten have some blood work done to confirm that this is Mono and not anything else. But I think that its too late and I'll have to get ahold of someone tomorrow. Poor kid!

Writer's Block: Personality Trait = Trouble

What personality trait has gotten you in the most trouble?


View 500 Answers

 My tendency to call it as I see it.  I suppose it is because my internal filter/inner monologue is broken, so if I think it, it usually comes out.  I don't pull any punches and even though people respect me for being so straightforward, for some people - it truly turms them off.  ASk James, he'll tell you, LOL.

Footprints on Your Heart

My internets friend Aunt Becky has brought me to tears, and that's hard to do.  Her youngest son Alex's 1st birthday is this Sunday, and instead of buying him gifts that she feels he doesn't need - She's making some wonderful and selfless donations to 2 very important non-profits.  March of Dimes and Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep in honor of the babies that aren't able to make it to Alex's birthday party because they died to soon.

Giving to these 2 charities touches my heart because I have had a child die too soon.  I've talked about Sarah some here and knowing that my friend Becky is giving these tributes touches my heart.  She's challenged her internets friends to pass the love on, and I'm doing just that.  Even $5.00 helps.  I'm forgoing my Weekly Starbuck$ to help pass it on.

Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep helps create memories by having photographers volunteer their time to take pictures of babies and gives a CD and the copyrights of the pictures to the parents of babies that have died or are dying.  Their work is beautiful and touches even my ickle balck heart.  What I would have given for someone to come in and take some wonderful pictures of Sarah for me to keep forever to help me "create a lifetime of memories," in only hours.....I can't tell you how much this would have meant to me.

March of Dimes is to help educate people about premature births, and to help those that are born premature to "survive and thrive."  Their annual March for Babies is going NOW in your area.  Even if you can't walk, you can help by making a small donation.

Lord knows that I'm not a salesperson, and I hate begging for money.  But both of these charities are close to my heart, so I'm coming to you, my friends, to ask you to help others that might find themselves in the position that I was almost 17 years ago.  If you can't donate or aren't inclined to, then here's my challenge to you....DO SOMETHING NICE FOR SOMEONE THIS WEEK.  Practice a random act of kindness.  Then share it with me, because I love when we spread the love!  Because these children might only be here for a short time on this Earth, but they leave their footprints on your heart forever

I got the job at Chili's :) I did wear more than a smile [info]bradandjanet LOL But I start on Monday with training. They have ALOT of codes to learn, Im nervous that I'm not going to be able to learn them all.

James hasn't heard about that other job as of yet. He's getting depressed because he feels like he can't find a job. I am trying to keep his spirits up, but its hard. I'm getting depressed myself because finances are getting VERY tight and there's nothing we can do about it. I just want to work and have James work so we can feed and house our family. I've tried to pray a few times, but I don't think anyone is listening.

The boys are OK. Nine and Five would rather be at their dad and stepmom's house, and that hurts a bit. But I don't blame them either. Three and Zero are just happy as clams, they don't realize anything is wrong, which is how it should be.

I'm keeping my chin up ya'll. Something has to give here.

I'm on the hunt....

for a job. I've filled out no less that 15 applications (paper and online). One so far has called for an interview - Chili's Restaurant. So tomorrow at 2pm, I'll be there with a smile on :) I was really hoping for a call center job (PLEASE CALL ME AT&T!!!!) or desk job, but at this point in time, I can't be picky. We need money, and hey let's face it, I could use the exercise :P
