Well I suppose let it all come down at once. Oh by the way screw the I am thinking positive about everything lately. I officially give it up for lent. Phew!!!! I am also thinking I may take up alcoholism for my birthday. It may not make reality better but it sure in hell will make it seem better in my head. Evidently I am being punished for something I did that was really bad, I just wish I knew what it was.
Okay so on to the story you are all waiting to hear. Donna comes to pick up Christopher today and informs me that next week is my last week. As they need to put him in a special preschool and because I live in Bedford the bus will not pick him up or drop him off here. Okay I understand this completely I am all for getting him into a preschool that will help him out. My beef lies with the fact that evidently Chris has been looking for another daycare in Manchester for Christopher since he first started coming here!!!!!!!!!! Nobody bothered to tell me this in the last month. So now I get blind sided and if things were not bad enough now I am out another $400 dollars a week. OH MY GOSH!!! I Knew that I was losing money but until this very second hadn't actually done the math as to how much money I would be losing a month. Okay so this is almost half my rent payment. If you have read my previous post, you would see that that really is an option either.
Jeff ate every ounce of pride today and went down to health and human services to able for food stamps and any other possible free service we qualify for today. It was probably our most degrading moment when we finally realized we had no other options. We have an appt. for fuel assistance Feb 13th but not sure how we are supposed to get through the next 2 weeks until that meeting.
Okay well I can't even think about this anymore. So I will hopefully be better and keep you all updated more tomorrow.

I am sorry things are so tough right now. They are only slightly better here as Scott has been out of work since August. Going for additional help shouldn't be shameful. Since I have known you Jeff has always worked hard. This is just a tough time for a lot of people because there aren't many available jobs (unless you are in the healthcare industry.) The help is there for a reason. You are not sucking on the system, you are just trying to provide for your children until a better day comes along. Hec at this point if I could get food stamps I would since it would make life easier but we can't at this time. Check back with me when unemployment runs out. Hang in there I know it is easier said than done but I am thinking of you.
