Recent changes in my life : This past year has been rough. April 2010, My girl's father was killed tragically in an accident where where he was killed instantly after hitting the back of a school bus.He was 52 and had only been back in their lives for 8 months after doing a long prison sentence.
The folowwing July, his brother, my kids uncle unexpectedly overdosed because he could not deal with my brother's untimely death.
But we move on.
The kids did get a small social security claim . 300 each because of their dads "not much work" history. Hey but thats OK because it is something and it all helps'
MY job and the money i make ,as a newspaper carrier depends on how many papers I see a day Last June my route got cut and I make about 1/3 of what I did.
Needless to say, this does not cover the bills - pay what we can.
At this time our water and gas service is diconnected because of the delinqency.
My property taxes are two years behind and my house is all I have.
My roof is so bad everytime the wind blows more shingles across thre yard. They crumble to touch.
Finally a grant weatherization program I finally qualify for. When they came out they could not help until my roof is replaced and the oprograms they refered me to require you property taxes current.
Catch 22.
Yesterday I received a letter from social security stating that my kids were overpayed. Since their half sister filed now they must reworked all the figures and say we owe them over 1000 and want it paid in 30 days or they will keep their monthly checks intil its paid back. And their check amount is dropping to 200 a month.
Those are last years high points.
And now comes Christmas
