    Mom knows that Daddy will pay the child support for awhile and then quit just like he always does.  The money has really come in handy because Mom was barely making it as it was before the checks started coming in.  In fact, I think she has maxed out three credit cards just trying to make ends meet since she’s on disability now.  She did a google search for debt consolidation sites.  She came up with a long list of them too.  She’s been checking them all out to decide which one she thinks would work best for her.  I know that would help ease her mind some too.  One payment that’s a lot smaller than what the minimum payment is on everything sounds like a great idea to me.

    All of a sudden, out of nowhere comes a child support check every week for the past three weeks.  Maybe my Daddy suddenly developed a conscious after all.  I bet Grandpa got on his rear end and that’s why he’s paying for now.  Either that or he was about to have to go to court over the child support.  Who knows and who cares because I sure don’t.  I’m just glad that Mom is finally getting what she should have been getting for the past 4 or 5 years now I believe it is.

    Too many ‘boys’ are making babies and walking away from them like they hold no responsibility what-so-ever.  Notice I didn’t call them ‘Men’ because it takes a Man to take care of his children even if he’s divorced from their mother or never married her.  That doesn’t matter.  The children matter or should.  We’ll see how long it lasts.  He’ll come up with some sort of reason why he can’t pay again just like he always does.

    We always go to sunrise service on Easter even if we don’t go to church any other time.  We usually go at least once a month if not more though but Easter is a very special holiday so we always go then.  They have a big Easter egg hunt for the kids and tell bible stories about Easter.  It’s pretty much an all day event.  They have a nice lunch which everyone brings something so there is all kinds of food there.  I guarantee you’ll find something you like there and perhaps a few things that you aren’t sure what the heck they are either but that’s what makes each family unique, ya know.  Well I better be getting ready to go or Mom will skin my hide if I make us late.

    It’s one of those kind of days, you know when you just don’t seem to have any energy to do anything.  Nothing but lay around the house all day that is.  I guess it’s because of all the rain we have gotten lately.  We really need it but boy has it drained me for some reason.  I guess it might have something to do with overload.  It’s been a tough year and spring break is just starting.  I need to recharge a bit so I’m just going to be lazy today.

    It’s hard to find a designer handbag that won’t cost you a total fortune but if you’re looking for great coach purses, this is the place to look.  They have some of the cutest purses I have seen in a long time.  I really thought they would cost much more than they do too.
