Ok........ I don't really have these that often, really I don't. I guess everything is just hitting me all at once today. First off, my great uncle who is 86, is gravely ill. We thought we were loosing him last week but then Sunday he seemed to turn around. Well, late lastnight he took a bad turn again. He is barely eating and drinking. His wife isn't taking it well. Neither is my mom. He is my grandpa's last living sibling so it's like the last of the generation is dying.

Second, all the truck repairs have taken a huge toll on my budget. I tried asking the kids dad to chip in on some money and he is being an ass! And I expect anything else from him???? I know! I know! I just hate trying to live the rest of the month on $20! I can do it, my bills are paid, my gas tank full and so are the freezer and pantry. It's just the feeling that if something comes up.... I don't have the money because the freaking mechanic ripped me off ! On top of that, I think it may STILL have a water leak! UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Third..... We had ICN meetings with UBMS last night for the kids summer programs. Dustin has been working really hard and doing everything right for this thing for the last year. He even bypassed graduating a year early to stay in the summer program to get all his college credits to save money. WELL, congress decided not to fund the program grant. He can't 'bridge' next year. Instead of ending the program with 22 college credits, he will have 4! We are waiting to see if he will be eligible to CLEP test to get the rest. He is upset, I'm upset.

I'm going to take a little break from CM to deal with everything and figure out how to manage the stress. I think I need some time alone.........

Love ya sissy's!!!!!!!!
