Today in the mail Mikes January paystub came into the mail so I have to take them back into the social security office. Watch cnn for a crazy woman who flips out in a SS office then yall can say hey I read that crazy womans blog. It still makes me mad. Grrrrrrrr
Nothing going on here today its been a lazy day I took the drummel to Buffords nails he didnt like it but I still have my fingers and he has shorter nails so its good all the way around.
My PSA (public service announcement) comes from J for yall you dealing with snow please make sure fire hydrants are unburied he says they are very important for saving your house. He did that thursday all over town well him and the other Jrs that the older men wanted to torture.
I have decided I am getting my hair cut and highligthed to cover the grey or maybe I should way but if I wait to much longer I will look like an old cousin it.
Well that is all stay warm and have a good day all.

Frustraiting day with a threat of an escort out.
First the kittens are all doing fine and seem to be their normal lovable furry selves. They have made up to me and Mike and seem to hold no hard feelings towards us. Lots of treats have helped.
I took Mikes laid off paper into the Social Security office today and that is where my trouble began. Mind you I have never been in trouble. My case worker says to me you know unemployment benefits are unearned income and we will take more of your money because of your husbands benefits.
First I tried to explain that unemployment benefits should not be considered unearned income my reason is you have had to do something to earn them. Not anyone can get unemployment. She told me I was wrong I said that needs to change in my opinion and this is where it when from bad to worse.
She also told me that they would count that against me more then his wages which is bull crap. I said so we have less income to live on and your taking more of my check she said that is the law.
At this point I am so frustrated that I have tears coming down my face which frustrates me even more. I told her very polietly that that does not make sense to me. She tries to explain it again and I stop her and say I understand what your saying I dont understand how its right to be getting less and them take more from my check. At that point she says Mrs Rice if you dont leave the security guard is going to escort you out.
I said excuse me and she said it again and at this point the security guard walks over and asks if there is a problem I said I dont have a problem and my caseworker tells me that she needs to see the last paystub that Mike gets from work. I said fine and walked out. She called me later and asked if I understood what she was saying.
Again I told her that I complety understood what she was saying I just didnt agree with what she was saying then she said well that is the rule and we have to obey the rules. I replied well its a stupid rule. I still dont understand how they can classify unemployment as unearned income.
Oh another good thing that happened today is that we lost our Blue Cross Blue shield. It ended no notice no 30 days no nothing luckly we have state coverage.
As I was talking to the Assistance case worker I told her about my conversation with the SS caseworker and she said you are right. But I am up against the government and bueracy and they dont do what is fair and not everyone fits into their catagory.
I guess I can tell anyone who thinks that I have never been in trouble that I was almost given a security guard escort out.

Kitten update
They are home the one female Indy was starting to come into heat so I am glad this is done. They are all stoned out of their cute furry minds and will probably sleep the rest of the night. Total cost was 499.20 which includes rabies and stitch removal for the females.
The good the bad and possibly cute
First my mom did call about 11 30 last night and I told J this morning. She said she had a bad day yesterday and it compelty slipped her mind.
Mike is laid off indefianly due to the lack of work. The good is we have a lot of tax money left so will be fine for awhile and he has 2 weeks of vaction pay coming. Please keep us in your prayers one he finds a job till they call him back. Two I dont get the urge to hurt him I am used to having days to my self this is going to be weird for all.
The bad news is his unemployment will affect my ssi they will hold more of it cause its unearned income. Which is another discussion for another day. On the plus side I believe he will have 9 months of unemployment coming.
Our house payment should go down. The bad news here is the paperwork to get it to go down is exhausting. And I probably wont have any hair left after its all filled out they always send requests for this form or that form.
The kittens are at the vets which is good bad is its going to be almost 500 dollars. But again oh well thats the price you pay for having animals.
They were mad no food since 8 p.m. last night the big cats were upset also and Bufford cause I had to put the water dish up too.
Mike is out snowblowing after the dumping. The good news here is it has stopped snowing. Yaaaaay
Now for the cute . Tiggs tried to lobby for the kittens to be let out of their cages he was meowing right along with them.
Have a good day all I am.

Confused
I try not to let the feeling I have for my mom be known to the kids. I want them to have a relationship with her though right now with limits ( she see them at my house). Today is J birthday and we were to have cake and ice cream and mother nature dumped a good foot of snow on us.
My inlaws called and said they may not make it but in the end did. I didnt expect my mom to come the weather is terrible my brother called and said he wasnt coming and doubted mom was either I said to him well it would be kind of nice if she would let me know ( there was supper involved). I finally called her at 4 30 and she said no she wasnt coming and hung up.
J asked me if she had called while he was at school or tonight to wish him a happy birthday. I said not yet J but its early. I didnt tell anyone about the conversation with my mom about why I choose today to have cake and icecream and I said well mom it is his birthday and she said but saturday or sunday would be better for me.
I want to tell him yes your grandma called and she didnt forget your birthday. But then its wrong to lie to your kids and I cant lie to him if I expect him to always be honest with me. I dont know what to do. Its hard sometimes between protecting them and being honest with them. His fire chief invited the kids go to sledding so I am going to put my feet up.

Happy Birthday J!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy birthday to my son who has made it to 15 there were some days that I could have shaken the stuffing out of you. But your dad and I are very proud of the young man you are becoming. You have found your niche in community service with the fire dept which makes us very happy.
You are a great trumpet player. Your grades are pretty good and your generally a very happy person.
I remember you were born in an ice storm. You love winter. HMMMM wonder why. You decided to show up on my favorite aunts birthday and she was happy to share the day with you (although I took a lot of slack from the other aunts). I cant wait to see what this year brings. We love you.

Let down
Today as I was talking to my friend who I consider a good friend we talk everyday I was telling her that I enjoy the wii. She told me she cant believe that I would have wasted money on something so stupid. She went on to say she cant believe she has a friend that would be so stupid.
I immediatly went back to the little girl (although I am getting better at letting that go) listening to my mom tell me I was stupid. This friend is someone that I love and thought we had a great friendship not so much anymore. I told her that in no uncertain terms will I let her treat me that way.
Does she feel this way cause Mike might get laid off no she doesnt the reason she feels this way is because she thinks the wii is one of the most stupidest inventions. Hell she wont read my blog because google is evil. I want to yell and scream at her I want to tell her I think she is making bad decisions in her life but I dont I try to support her even though I disagree with her decisions they are hers to make though.
Do I deserve the same respect? Yes I do. Should I get into this discussion again I should tell her if you are going to be my friend then treat me like a friend even when I buy products you dont like. Do I know if I will talk to her again maybe I would like to salvage the friendship. Am I going to let her verbally abuse me no way.. I am hurt as I should be.
It will work its self out I tell my heart. If it doesnt then it wasnt a true friendship.
