A little discouraged, but hanging on...
| Sun, 04-16-2006 - 11:38am |
The past couple of weeks have been a little rough for us. DH still does not have a job, and this move has been extremely hard on my youngest daughter, who has a hard time with change, and was so happy at her old school. My oldest is adjusting to being sent to school.
i am working more hours now...even a little bit of OT here and there, and getting less sleep, because my little one carries on and wakes me up. It makes me miserable. I have seen my dad three times since we have been out here. We have a meeting with his team tomorrow...I am not so sure now that I will be able to handle bringing him home, but that is what i am here for, so I will give it a try.
We rented a 15 yd dumpster this week...i am trying so hard to declutter my Dad's hhouse so we will have a place to unload our own stuff. It is a very slow process.
Money-wise, well, i just feel so scattered. i took cash out of the ATM, just so I won't have to enter so many transactions into money...I don't feel like I am getting anywhere. This is just hard right now. I am going to apply for Medicaid for the kids, and SSI again for my dd...I thought those days were over, but I just won't be able to afford to their meds at $300 per month without the help right now.
I think a garage sale is in my future :) I have to just focus on a few things at a time, and it will get done.
Have a happy Easter,
Heather

My dd has autism...that is why she can get SSI as long as we are earning under $37,000 per year. Of course, it was much better when she didn't qualify and we were making nearly $55K. We are looking into something similar to Healthy Families here, so that both of our girls will be covered (my oldest has ADHD, and her meds run over $100/month, too!)
Anyhow, i hope that things will look a little brighter a month down the road. I SO do NOT want to be here.
Ugh!
Heather
hope you are having a Happy Easter. Hang in there, girl. Give yourselves time to adjust to new routine, and place.
Hope your dad is doing better.

HUGS!
As far as the meds go, do you have a new doctor set up yet?
Heather - Just wanted to give you some words of encouragement and let you know we are all here for you.
I know the transitions are hard and it can be so overwhelming when life throws you curve balls.
