Lol. Just realized that apparently didn't make it to LJ? Somehow. Moved May 2018. We're in low-income housing, apartments. It's not awesome, exactly, and I do have to downsize. I still have a lot of stuff in storage, but the kid is 17 now, soon to be 18. He's waffling about whether he will be leaving voluntarily when he isn't claiming I'm going to ( Read more... )

Meh. Brats are fighting again. There was shoulder-warmer to balls, apparently. More than once. Then there was chasing. Now there is "You stay here unless I am with you." That one decided to draw a picture ( Read more... )

Got up at 5am, got tired of staring at the top of the bunk bed. Did some laundry. Fed the kids. Made the little one pretty for his class pictures - sadly, I guess Mom did not get the shot I sent of him before I got his hair done.

Well, decided I would be better if I set up an automatic transfer to my savings from the checking account I have one of my paychecks autodeposited into, so tried to set it up. After 3 failures to provide a recognizable bank ID, I called the bank, and discovered this is because the bank don't allow one to set that sort of thing up online to a bank ( Read more... )

Duh, just now got around to realizing that I haven't mentioned this yet. I've been participating in the http://www.sharecolorado.com Share program. It's rather similar to Heartland Share, except that you are not required to do volunteer hours - which now that I'm thinking about it, ( Read more... )

I just sent ( this: )

Day before yesterday, put $600 down on the van. Yesterday, insured it, tagged it, and arranged the titling, then paid off the remaining $200. Now own a mini-van. Last night, decided on its sticker theme, since I got to the mall and realized I'd never find the SOB without personalization. It now sports the rainbow ribbon from my car on its antenna, ( Read more... )
