In Response to Double D

Deb's comment:

gst is friday:)why didnt your ucc check come in...?sounds like you have one heck of a budget to make...and i am right there with you...are you going to get rid of your cable?we are gettign rid of Kyle's cellphone and the Freestyle...our only luxury is the internet....oatmeal and rice and potatoes are a budget's best freinds...

In response:

UGH. I have no idea why ucc didnt come. It was to have gone to our old place but the new tenants put their name on the mailbox. I dont know if that was enough to deter the maillady from putting it there but she did. If (on a GOOD chance) it was returned to teh ucc office then it will be sent right back out but this time to our new place. If not then I have to call on July 6th and have it resent. UGH.

Gst same story. I called and confirmed with them that yes the cheque will go to our old apartment. So again if for some random reason the cheque isnt delivered and is sent back it has been noted to come here... Well shit. Or not. I forgot. Kevin has to call becuase it is in his name. Son of a bitch. Well. I guess I know what were doing on thursday.

UGH. I took our cheque, paid rent and bought groceries. I emailed jackass this morning (no response yet). WHEN (I have to be positive) he sends the money it is going right to the van and voila the van will be done. YAY. UGH. Desnt help that our fricking cable will be screwed up if I dont ake that ucc 200 payment. Ahh well.

I was going to cut cable but FRICKING TRUBLOOD. cant miss it. But we subscribe to all 3 vod's. we are definatly cutting superstations and maybe mpix. That will save us about 20 bucks. Gotta keep tmn. (lol) at least until teh bitter end.

I bare minimumed groceries and will be (UGH) cooking for the next 2 weeks. (UGH). We splurged on pizza tonight. I wanted to stop the take out (maybe once a pay period) but we are so broke that i figured cant hurt THAT bad this time. (plus pizza for us counts a few meals) LOL.

I have my oatmeal (quick cook I bought for baking ages ago), potatoes from the last time we grocery shopped (havent touched them... I managed not to cook (besides spegetti once) for near 2 weeks. Go me.) and I ahve a bag of long white rice, a bag of brown and in my groceries today I slipped a big box of quick cook.

Let the games begin.

Child Support Day

Will it come?

I hate feeling like I am chasing child support. In a perfect world I would know for certain that it si coming and not have to worry. But sadly not happening. Sadly and most annoyingly.

I hate feeling like I am a bother even to someone I hate so much. I feel like I am nagging when EVERYMONTH I have to email him and ask if he is paying. Then I am also scared to becuase I kind of rely on that money and I am scared that if I ask he will tell me no, another day etc. Right now I have 800 in the bank. Going out is supposed to be 500 for rent, something for groceries, 300 on van, 200 to my old landlord to start paying him off and 237 on cable plus Kevs family is coming home this weekend so hell need money for that.

In reality my UCC check (universal childcare) of 200 didnt come. I have no idea if mr childsupport is paying. That could be 300 in the bank today that will take off some strain but who knows. GSt should be in either this week or next but I have no idea if Ill even get it since the mail is so fucked up right now. GST wont be so helpful becuase Kev will take his half leaving only mine for bills. UGH.

I need to make a grocery list that will allow for the smallest amount of money for 2 weeks. UGH.

Off to make this work.

What The Heck Babysitter Edition

WHat the heck and why is it so hard to find a flipping babysitter.

Just want some teenager out of school for teh summer to come and watch the kids. Not too difficult and there are a million teens in my town.

I got 2 replies.

the first was a godsend. Her 14 year old daughter used to dealing with 6 year old sister was interested.

Well thats good and well until theyre at the beach etc and have family coming and going to be in an out. How does that translate into interested in babysitting? I wasnt getting any reply asking what day would work to come and meet the kids and then jump into it so I suggested saturday afternoon meet them and then sunday babysit.

Um no theyre at teh beach this weekend, maybe try next week. *FACEPALM*.

The other offer was a teenager... involved with the biggest criminal family in my town. (that my ex sister is dating into) I wouldnt have her becuase of the whole what is she running and telling them/ who would she have in my house. UGH.

WHYYYYYYYY.

I ahve to work sunday and monday and god knows when else with STILL NO SITTER. UGH.

bloggy gloggy

Sorry I havent been interesting lately. cant be bothered to blog. haha.

Here I am.

Ack. have I complained about this cold yet. I cant get rid of it. Keeps getting worse and worse. This morning I am coughing up chunky shit that makes me want to vomit. Literaly. I was gagging at the toilet for a good little while first thing.

Did awesome on wiifit last night. worked out for 30 minutes straight (YAY). I warm up with the balance games then do a run (usually short distance) then cool down with a couple games and end with a yoga pose. Well last night in the spirit of somehting new I went for an island lap run. HOLY 14 minute jog batman.

I felt great afterward. I wonder how actually jogging and getting somewhere would be. LOL.

Talking about batman, donavan disclosed to me this morning that he is actually clark kent. and yes he is superman... and batman.... and robin too. Way to be in a few places at once...

(In truth he says yes to everything! nothing funnier than asking him in front of his nanny (betty) if his daddy beats him adn calls him bad names. Donavan gives a sad face and says, very quietly, "yessss". Sometimes youll be a yup... But if you ask him if he pooped hell generally deny it and give the cat a hard look. Funny dude.

Ive implemented a new system to TRY and get samara to get along with donavan. I call it the NO SLEEPOVERS. If shes mean to him or trys to exclude or abuse him I tell her that her next sleepover (at nanny's or sherry's) is going to be cancelled. She generally makes up a game for him then.

I had a dream last night that work underpaid kev by 100$ and didnt pay me at all. What a time to have a dream like that! (then it all turned to sex). Sheesh...

Ode To My Runny Nose

You suck right nostril. We are no longer friends. I no longer want you hanging out on my face and you aer NOT invited to Donavan's second birthday party. For blogging sake I would like to change my family's names but sadly wouldnt remember them the next time I blogged. Becuase thats how often I do it.

Making a list, checking it twice

Trying to find the most efficient way to get samara to school, get money from a machine, grocery shop, hit roddy woods for meat and get home only using 2 cabs. I am figuring I will cab down to the school with samara, getting the driver to stop at a store to take out money. Walk from there to the grocery store. (I think Tawnya is coming too so pick her up lol). shop, cab home and then walk to roddys. If Tawnya is still with me even better. LOL. There is a possibility that tawnya will be called into work mind you. In that case Id better get my headphones found and the ol pod in my pocket ;)

I am hoping for a fast and stressfree trip. No samara, no donavan. I shall take my time.

On to the stresser. Fricking idiot didnt pay me child support. Asshole. I messaged him on thursday and asked if, becuase the last day of the month is sunday, he would be paying me child support friday. His response? Nope, sunday. Petty petty. Sunday comes and goes. Because I asked him specifically and he answered I borrowed against it from my parents to pay rent early. Low and behold sunday came adn went. I caught him first thing monday morning and told him samara and I had plans just waiting for his email (money transfer) to be able to leave. His response? "Sorry, there was a deth in teh family I wont be paying you until friday. Thank you for your understanding." Then he promptly went off line.

Oh I was mad. I deleted him and then when I went to facebook to delete him there what did his status message say? woohooo just playing for a crowd of 78000.

Some death in the family. Fucker. He hates his family anyway. whas a death got to do with paying one's late child support?

Now I am scrambling trying to find a way to pay everyone and still have money for GROCERIES and I wanted to throw a huge chunk on the van. hard to do that now.

ugh
