A Saturday

Of course it turned out JP was lying about the child support he had paid Jami. there was not five thousand in the bank waiting for her but three hundred that had been taken from him at thirty seven dollars every two weeks for however long it took to become three hundred dollars in her account. Not nearly what he was claiming. He was trying to make some kind of deal with her to sign off on the rest of what he owes for having paid five thousand of it but I think the three hundred is a deal breaker.
I have never met such a compulsive liar in my entire life.
Add to that he called a few days ago to say that they have committed Lindsey again and are thinking about making her a ward of the state. It is all such bullshit that they can't handle her but won't give anyone else a chance like no one could do anything JP can't do even though it is obvious he is greatly handicapped by the fact that his present wife is afraid of and likely doesn't care so much for Lindsey.
I took Jami to the dentist yesterday and they fixed all of her bottom teeth that are left but say all of the top teeth will have to be pulled and replaced and Medicaid will only cover one thousand of the one thousand nine hundred it will cost...
The guy who hit my car from the front is supposed to get together with us today but he hasn't answered his phone yet today. I'm not too worried. He was out of town yesterday and is likely just sleeping in....

Two Car Crashes

I was in two wrecks last week. A kid backed into me crumpling my hood and busting out the headlights on the driver's side taking Jessica to work and then two days later I got rear ended at 72nd and Military taking Jeremy to sign up for FEMA. That was a three car pile up but it didn't damage the car really. Just Jeremy. His back has been hurting worse and worse since the wreck. I took him to a chiro Friday and they think they know what is wrong but will discuss his X rays with him on his next appointment. An uninsured kid was driving the first vehicle that hit me. Fortunately, the woman responsible for the next accident had insurance so Jeremy's care will be paid for.
I paid the fee to use the swimming pool at Jessica's town homes, well, I paid it with money Patrick had given me to take Jessalynn to the public pool sometime, so I would have a pool I could take her to daily to teach her to swim. We went for the first time today, just Jessalynn and me, and mostly played and got her used to paddling around with different floaties. I think this is going to be fun for both of us and make the sumer vacation much better. :-)
JP told Jami that he has been paying on his back child support for Lindsey and that there should be quite a bit of money waiting for her so we are going to check on it tomorrow. I really hope he is telling the truth, he wouldn't have any reason to lie, but experience has told me that doesn't always matter with JP. He has always been Honesty Challenged...
And life goes on. My three pregnant daughters are healthy and doing well. We know Jessica's is a girl and Jeanette's is a boy. It may be a few weeks before we find out what Jami's is.

Disaster Relief

Omaha is getting disaster relief for that big storm that blew through here during Mikey's visit. They are giving away food stamp cards, the amount on them according to how many in your household, but you have to brave the long lines in the heat to get them before it is all gone. We have gone for the last three days but never managed to get there early enough so we are trying again today if I can get Jami ad Kirk moving.
Kirk got his old job at First Star Fiber back a couple of days ago so we should be OK financially here if we can make it until he starts bringing in money. It's pretty rough right now just affording the cigarettes and gasoline. I'm afraid we will lose cable, internet and phone for a while but at least hopefully we will have all we need to survive. Jessica is having a very hard time, too, still and a lot goes to helping her get to and from work.
Jami and Kirk are stirring. Gotta go.

Fourth of July

Not too much going on here right now but I am thinking about taking Jami, Kirk, Jessica and Jeremy to Lake Mannawa for the fireworks. We wanted to go to the ones at Harrahs like we have for the last four years but they were last night and we missed them. Jessalynn is with Patrick's family tonight, she has been with us the last few years for the fourth, but she is going to the ball game with them and will get to watch the Rosenblat fireworks there later.
Jeremy and Jessica worked and the rest of us didn't get much accomplished this week. I took Jenise for her first dentist appointment yesterday afternoon. She did very well but will have to have a lot of dental work done soon.
Tomorrow night Jessica is planning a Bar B Que here. I haven't gotten a hold of Jeanette yet to make sure they will come but I hope they will.
