Ok. I am tired of waiting for the SSA to decide who to send Aharon's child support (or Children's benefit according to a SSA employee from Muskogee). I got four letters today from the SSA about the boys' child support (according to the divorce decree). Two of them stated that their moneys will be sent to their account on October 3 like I had it set up. The second set was about them owing the boys some money from December 2003 and that the boys will be getting more money from the SSA based on something.
This is confusing. We did not get the boys SSA until June/July 2004, not December 2003. They will be getting a set amount of money until the SSA decides to fuck with them again, which I honestly hope will not be until after I get my SSI. We can live nicely on the moneys from the SSA until I get that decision, which I'm still waiting on.
Well, I called the SSA office. I talked to some bimbo who had no more idea about what she was talking about than the man on the moon. I think that the Man on the Moon might actually be smarter than she was. "Can I talk to the highest person in the office?" "They are gone for the day." It was 1615. They sent me a check (well, Beck Manes) last month but I never got the check. It was never returned either from the PO. It had my PO address on it. "It might have gone to the OKDHS since you were not the payee until Sept 5." Why would it go to the Oklahoma DHS if I have been the "payee" since February, 2007? I told you the bimbo didn't know what she was talking about.
I need that money. I have big bills coming in that I honestly can not pay until after next month, that is if I get my child benefit/support like the letters I got over the past two months tell me. I've been fighting the system since December for the child support that is due to my kids. I also don't need the bimbo telling me how I can spend my kids' moneys. I'm using their moneys to pay the bills cause the boys need me at home, taking care of them and the house.
When will it end? It will end when I get their moneys and they turn 18. It might not end then since Naruto might still need it, or Elmo still might qualify for it. I'm still waiting for my first denial. I had that face to face interview in June. I've never had it take this long to get a denial (either for me the first time nor for DAD).
I'm tired of waiting. Then I get told that MG has resigned. While I understand WHY she resigned,I do not have to like it. I really like her. She resigned to take some time off for herself, something that she preaches. I know she does because she does that with me. Then she'll decide what she wants to do next. "You can be a door greeter at Walmart. That is a no stress job." Sure no stress but it's also no money. I really do not think that she has any true responsibilities at home either: dh, kids, whatever. She's really nice and I wish her luck.

What a couple of Weeks!
Around my house, when it rains it does more than just pours....it floods. This past weekend was no exception.
Naruto still doesn't want to go to school. Today, I'm going to get him and take him to lunch. He just needs an afternoon to chill out. He wanted to do it yesterday, which would really have been better but that would have had both kids hom. No one would have chilled. So, today we are going to do the afternoon together. First lunch at his choice of places to eat. Then maybe do Walmart for milk and a few things. Then home for an afternoon of what Naruto wants to do.
I missed meeting Knits A Lot, FireRat, FireFairy, and Hitman3872 in Tulsa on Tuesday. I really wanted to go, but it was literally impossible. Now I have two Staples jobs to do and a special trip to Tulsa to do them. I really hate that but it is a chance to get out of the house (and out of my bed) for something to do.
Sat morning, Elmo swallowed five days of my medication, probably thinking it was candy. So, we went to ER. Let's just say that I bought a lot of Yui Gi Oh cards for Aharon for being so well behaved during this time. By the time they got the
charcoal crap in him, they decided that he had to be put in overnight for observation because one of the meds could easily cause seizures. It wasn't the meds in the child proof bottles but rather the weekly med container which I started using to make sure that I took ALL of my meds when I needed to take them.
Sunday morning, I was as sick as a dog, vomiting really badly. Needless to say, I was dehydrated. Since one of the signs of dehydration was a dry mouth, which I had, I decided to go to ER. I literally signed myself into ER and then signed Elmo out of the hospital. Again, after I had been able to run home and get meds, they both were fine again. The ER doc decided that my blood sugar was so high and not going down that I was a candidate for ketone acidosis, which can be fatal. He put me into ICU so I could get the nurse as I needed her for blood sugars. Now, remember that I do not have any insurance. I spent Sun through this morning there. I was released around 11. I was constantly fighting off vampires and dealing with people (read nurses and the low income doc) who did not know much about the pump and insisted that I take Regular insulin which is not as fast acting as the Humalog that I had with me. I was so rude this morning at 4am to the vampire from the lab and the nurse. Finally I told the nurse that I smelled horrible. I hadn't had a shower since Friday morning. My linen hadn't been changed since I got there. Same ol' gown. I felt better after that happened. They disconnected me from my IV so that the vampire du jour could get some blood. They could not get any blood from my left arm since it had been poked so much over the past two days. Finally everyone was happier: the vampire got her
blood, I got a "bath", and the doc said I could go home (this was around 10).
I've been in a depressed state at the state of the house. Spending the majority of my morning in bed and the afternoon on the computer. My typical day. But Podiatrist kicked my butt into gear and I'm taking a short break from laundry and house to let you know that I'm still here. She told me that the boys were well behaved for her and that I was doing a better job than I had thought I had with them. That made me feel so much better. She's helping me some with "Compliance". I've been nice on some topics. She had to spend 2 hours with Elmo before he took the first bite of dinner. That is one area I have to get tougher on. If they do not want to eat, I do not force them. This is leading to bad eating habits. So far, since I've been home, we'd eaten what they really like to eat so this has not been a problem. But it is a problem and I'm really going to have to end this.
I got the kids their promised rewards. Naruto took his Yui Gi Oh cards to school and almost immediately had them collected. Now he has no special cards because he keeps breaking the rules of the house ("Cards stay home") and school ("No cards allowed at school. It doesn't matter which type they are.") He was doing well to pick them up but he's had them collected on three different occasions. He wants to show them off but there is only so much that Ms Payne can do to allow him to break the school, classroom, and home rules.
This has been open for over 24 hours. I'm back...I hope.
