Well...Mark had an interview this week. He took a bank in El Reno his app and resume and they called him back within an hour to set an interview the next day. He had that interview and the day after it they called him and wanted him to come in to interview with the bank director as soon as he could get there....so that looks promising. I sure hope it pans out cuz we have no dough and I hate that!!! Everything is taken care of except for our cable bill, but I still hate it when I have no money. Even if it were just a few dollars. I am not being shallow.....it is just a security thing for me. I sure hope he calls the unemployment agency to day to start the ball rolling on the appeal of the denial of benifits.
Not to much else to say right now.....gonna go and try to get busy. I haven't done much the past few days due to my depression being so bad lately. So...off too attempt to clean. Kai

Revenge of the Possom
The other night I was woke by a rustling sound in the sacks of give away clothes I have on my bedroom floor. Wasn't sure what it could be, so I turned the light on and got a HUGE fright. There, at the foot of my bed, was a POSSOM! Can anyone say EEEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!! OR....YUCK!!! It looked like a huge rat. I got Mark and he chased it around the bedroom with a blanket trying to catch it and get it out of the house. He just couldn't get ahold of it. It went back behind the built in drawers and disapeared. I think that is where it may have come in. We haven't seen it since. Which I am extremely grateful for.
Well.....Mark was denied his unemployment benifits because of the reason he left his job. He had given the bank notice that he would be looking for a new job and that he would let then know when he was leaving, so....they "let him go". I consider it being fired, but I guess the Unemployment agency doesn't. We are going to appeal. I sure hope it works, cuz I have no clue how we are gonna pay our cable bill or get the kids school supplies and clothes. Caleb and Hannah can start without clothes, but Josh can't. He really needs some jeans and shoes. I am gonna talk to the bishop, but I don't know what he can do. We'll see.
That's all for now. To upset to say much more. Kai

Off to scrap
As a reward for doing so well last week I am going to a friends to scrapbook!!! WITHOUT KIDS!!! That's a big YEAH!!!! I usually have to take them with me and it is a huge headache, but since Mark isn't working right now, I am gonna leave them here with him and actually get to enjoy myself for once. Spent most of the morning and part of last evening putting together some layout ideas.....so hopefully I will get more than 2 pages done. I'm looking forward to it a bunch!!!
Missed church yesterday. I was in too much pain to go. I really over did it last week. But I really would like to keep the ball rolling and get more of the house put together like it should be. Kids room REALLY needs to be gone through. I may even break down and paint it.....it needs that alot too. They want it to be yellow with rainbow hand prints all over...we shall see! I would really like to get rid of alot of their old toys...again...we shall see if I can get away with it!
Well....I need to feed the kids, change a butt and get everything all packed up to go to Jennifers! So...short today, but I didn't wait 3 months and that's a plus. More soon. Kai

Been a while....
I am bad about keeping up with shit like this!!! I don't do journals well. I'm bad at writing letters, so it's no surprise it's been like 3 months since my last entry. Oh well, I ain't making any promises to do any better. If I do, I know I won't. So, no promises.
Emmaleigh had her first birthday on April 30th. It is amazing to me how fast time flys. When I was a kid it seemed forever for a year to revolve around. The span between Christmas and birthdays was like an eon. Now.....I turn around and am putting together another kids birthday party or sewing Halloween costumes.....AGAIN!!! Or pulling out Christmas decorations, and it seems I just put them away last week. We had a party at the park for both Emma and Josh...he turned 16 on April 27th, so it was easier to do it all at once. We had a weinie roast with all the trimmings. Also had cake and ice cream for the birthday kids. Emma made a HUGE mess.... which was expected. And Josh had a few of his friends come. Fun was had by all. Now it is time to think of Hannah's 6th comming up in October and also start looking at fabric and patterns for Halloween. The kids want to do Peter Pan. Caleb is going to be Peter, of course. Hannah is going to be Wendy and Emmaleigh will be Tinkerbell. Should be fun, but if I am gonna do it, I need to start planning now, or I will end up crazy in the end!!! I already have fabric in the form of an old prom dress for tinkerbell. It is the exact right green color, so I am just gonna cut it apart and use it instead of paying for new fabric.
Speaking of fabric....I spent two days this past week organizing and cleaning my bedroom. What does that have to do with fabric, you ask??? Well...the biggest part of the mess was all my craft and sewing supplies. Tons of fabric and materials that were all over the place from me looking for stuff then not putting it all back together again. Well.........NO MORE!!! I went through all the boxes, seperated everything, and put things with like things so I can find what I need. Then I replaced all the crunched up old boxes that have no tops or don't shut with better boxes. That way I could stack them all neatly in one corner of the room. Then I got rid of the old crib and put the toddler bed up next to my bed for Emma to sleep in. That way Mark can come to bed with me if he wants. Not that he will, I expect. But that is for another entry.......or maybe not. Anyway, I feel better now that I got something accomplished. Took me two freakin days, but it got done and that's what is important.
Went to the store a bit ago and got the stuff to make some kids Gorp. Haven't made any of that in a super LONG time. Just got simple stuff.....some Dinosaur Ritz, prezle sticks, fruity mini marshmellos and M&M's. Quick and easy.....kids got a kick out of it. Thought it'd be fun to take with to church tomorrow for snack. Emma keeps picking the marshmellows and M&Ms out of it though...LOL. Smart baby!!! Lets see....the Ritz were 2.50, prezzles 1.00, Marshmellows were .77 cents, and M&M's were 3.00. So, altogether it cost me $7.27 for 2 gallon bags full of snack mix. Not cheap...woulda been better to get a dollar bag of chocolate chips and maybe a dollar box of cheese crackers that would have saved me like 3$, but I'll do that next time. It was fun to make and the kids like it alot. It will be nice to have for when I have Dusten and Samantha.
Speaking of Dusten and Samantha.....I haven't had them for the past 2 weeks. Don't know if I'll have them next week or not. Haven't heard from their mom. It has been a nice break. But that means less money on pay day. But we'll deal! I sure hope Mark finds another job soon. He lost his job a couple of weeks ago...thank GOD for unemployment. That kicks in next week....if all goes well.
