Correction to What's been going on with me

[ErinB]

I don't even know why I posted the that  first one where I did!  Oh well here we go again...LOL If you know how I can delete the other post lemme know! Kisses!

Hey ya'll! Wow I didn't think I had been missed but a few of you have sent me notes asking where I have been and what I have been doing. Thanks! It's nice to know I'm not forgotten!    So let me fill ya'll in as to what has been happening over the last few months and I think it will explain why I havent been on.
I don't really remember when I stopped coming to the Forum but I am guessing it was sometime last year...?  Well my husband I were in the process of meeting a 12 year old girl who was up for adoption. She had a lot of therapy to go through to get her prepared for adoption so that would be held off until the first of 2009. In the mean time Jere ( hubby) and I were working and thankful to have jobs. But none the less bills were not met and his bike got repoed in Dec. Merry Christmas!  On the same day my tooth fell out! Merry Fricken Christmas!   So trying to figure out where we were going to get money for everything, we were running around like chickens with our heads cut off.  Jan came and we met Annie (girl for adoption) Things went great and we started the visits!  Since then it has been heart attack stress level!     The well behaved little girl, teenager, little woman up for adoption turned out to be a ....um...well not so well behaved as we first thought. She has been quite the handful!   I have more than once wanted to send her back to the state but thought to be reasonable lets work through it because come on...most teens are difficult! I lost my job in March! Yea!!   I have been looking for work nonstop and of course the economy blah blah blah, I havent found one. I have been keeping my share of the bills afloat by working with my dad on the fireworks and a little part time online chatting job that if I could seriously do it for 8 hours a day could most likely bring in 62K a year...  Well we'll see. Oh and the cherry that topped it all! I come home early one day and find out my husband is a cross dresser! Putting on my clothes and makeup.    I tried to work through it and told him to give me some time so I could get used to the idea. Things went from good to great! He didnt give me time and I didnt get used to it and it now appears he wants a sex change. But he doesnt like guys! He wants to be a lesbian! But of course he'll wait till Annie is grown and out of the house....   Sigh! So what have ya'll been up to?

why would you take on a kid if you're having money problems?

[ErinB]

Honey...I don't know if you read my post all the way through or not but money is the least of my worries. I get unemployment and assistance for her Plus I work 2 other jobs... so we're good...

[Action Batch]

Are you doing your part as a parent to turn the kid into a riffaddict?

[ErinB]

I would have to go to jail if I did not do my part!  Sadly she's not the sharpest tool in the shed so she wouldn't get half this stuff anyways. Keep on keeping on though..LOL

Sadly she's not the sharpest tool in the shed...

That what my parents always said about me. Apparently they really wanted a girl.

How do you get unemployment and work two other jobs?

How do you get unemployment and work two other jobs?

I believe you don't work over a certain amount of hours per week like 30 or so.

Your tooth fell out?

-Rude

[ErinB]

Yep split in half and fell for no reason what so ever. Dr said he had never seen that before. You can work but you have to claim every dollar you make and if you still dont make what they would have paid you you get the remainder. Now I just found out they want to take us to court over one of his debts he hasnt paid for. Dunno what they can do though. Dont have the money to pay for it..LOL
