I Was Off Of The Computer A Few Days : (

I was away from the computer a few days..... We had our cable/internet/phone shut off : (
Still waiting for that incentive check.... and would you belive they have stopped our food stamps too! I got a letter saying that I didn't get the info. they requested back to them soon enough (I had no stamps or gas to go get them so I put the letter in my mailbox with the change to put two stamps on it, So I can't say for sure what might have happened to it). I will need to call the to file a claim or something to see if I can get that back up and running.
Things sure are tough around our area, My son went down to the Target meet and greet to put in his application - Would you belive the line was all the way around the out side of the hotel where they were holding this. There were so many people there for these jobs that the Target people were unprepared for that many. Kris said it was alot of people my age in line - Can you imagine all these people fighting for a few minimum wage jobs : ( Kris felt really low when he got home, He thought for sure he would be able to get a job at Target now it looks like that won't happen. When I had called the Police Academy they told me that alot of people who couldn't find jobs were now signing up at the academy so the classes which were wide open a few months ago are now being filled. Kris had hoped to start in Aug. (He had to wait till he had his diploma first to apply) but the gal said he will be lucky to get into the Oct. class - Yikes!
I am finding it very hard to do school work with Kelly while Kris is home. She feels she should be off too. I think it is really going to be a struggle to keep school work going through the summer - But to be honest it is so hot out that there isn't much else to do anyway.
Hope Everyone Has a Great Weekend : )

We just did an assessment with a credit counseling. And we are $2,000 in the red.

There is no way on this heavenly Earth that I can trim that much money from my budget. And if they condense our crdit cards (which if you look at what we have charged, it is for living expenses), it will only redcue the payments a little over $100.

So how is that going to helsp us. And like your son, the jobs are just not there, and I have a physical disability to deal with so full time is out for me.

Got to love the American way.
