Frustrated
A couple of weeks ago I was given a "case worker" by the city. Her job is supposed to be to get me to a point where I can take care of myself, well sort of. On the initial meeting she asked if I needed any immediate help. I told her about all the bills being behind. She told me they could help, either a grant or a loan, and it would pay part of what we owe, including my portion of the rent. We carefully scrapped together the money we needed for the other 2/3's of the rent (at the expense of food, electric bill and phone bill), and got it down there early. When I visited the apt. office on the 4th, they told me that the other portion was still outstanding.....and we could not be late again or they would begin evection procedings. I called the case worker today, and she told me the person who handles the checks was out, but she would talk to her supervisor. That was today, the 6th, the day AFTER the rent is due. Shit.
I wish Andy would go out and find a job.....ANY job. Even if it is just a bit better than minimum wage, we could make it alot easier. I've even talked to him about it and he acts like I'm not even there! GOD I just want to hit him!
I am more than a little tired of John's control of the money now. Like he says "I'm the only one bringing in any money, so I can say where it goes" Yeah, like to that stupid Ren and Stimpy DVD that cost $40.
On the kid front, the actual "job" has not come through.....still tied up in paperwork. I'll be GETTING a check, once all the background checks are done, and all the other crap. But God only knows when it will actually be. I HAD thought all this would be done already, but getting through the government red tape has taken a very long time. Plus Allie was supposed to be getting Food Assistance, but now, from what I understand, she has been denied (?) and she was going to help us with some food. Fuck.
My hands are cold.....I haven't eaten .....I want to go back to bed.....but instead I have to pretend that all is well, and that nothing is bothering me.
