Homeless Kinda Sorta!

So The Hunners and I have been sleeping in the van at night. It's not so bad. Ok so it's really not comfortable. Especially getting up to go to the bathroom! Wow It's usually freezing outside and nice and warm at my mom's house. Our son is up stairs with my mom thank God! If he had no place to go I would have a broken heart because he would be going to live with his Bio Dad even though My Son Doesn't want to ever go visit him again (his words not mine). The Hunners and I are job hunting and have been, but now we have no phone number to put on job applications. Unemployment suspended his checks because of a workshop he had to do which we suposidly go the letter for in 2012! They gave no notice of 'if you don't do this by a certain day we are cutting you off ' we went to the supposid one stop edd office in El Cajon and was told 'oh we don't offer that here' but they do at the EDD in South San Diego! Because of the holidays he has to wait until Next Friday to do the workshop and the woman who told us he was suspended told him he would have to reapply! REALLY??? But they are still sending him the slips to fill out for payment! Then we get a letter saying if he still qualifies for unemployment after his payments are over he will get substancially larger weekly payments in this extension program. So Who knows what will happen after he does his workshop! We just need $50 to turn our crappy bout to bust cell phone back on so we can go back to job hunting! I go to EDD to take advantage of their programs on Monday as long as I am one of the first 14 people in line I will get in. If not then I have to try again on Thursday. The Hunners is taking Our Son to school so he will miss out on it this week. Hopefully I will get in this week then next week I will take Our Son to school so The Hunners can stand in line to get in. OK well that's it. I could go on about how my mother is driving us all insane but that won't help anything. I am here to relax. HAHA. Laters

Tears

Watching the end of this movie and it was about an African American teen moving in with a white family after his Aunt died. He was a part of their family they all loved each other. The Grandfather who was a little old school was a hard piece of work and not until the end when the teens mom had finally decided to come get him and take him away from his 2nd family did the Grandpa run after the car and tell the teen to always remember he had a home there with them that he was family now. I balled my eyes out in fact I am still crying. Yes it was sweet and could have been a tear jerker but I feel I am crying because I still don't have a home of my own. I feel since my Grandma died so long ago that I was on my own. As long as she was alive she was home and if I needed a place to go I could go back home. Being technically homeless these past 3 almost 4 years has been really hard. I just hope and pray that soon, really really soon we find our home. A place where we can set up as ours and not have to worry about when we are going to be kicked out by some psycho redheaded home owner, or wonder if the over priced weekly rent will get paid! When we lived at the motel rent was over $1500 a month! Now there is an apartment right across the street from our son's school and its a one bedroom for $800! More then likely they want us to make double or triple the rent regardless if we can afford to pay $800 a month just fine since the Hunners gets his Unemployment and me getting Child Support and a little big of cash aid for a few months. I am going to look it up and call them. Wish me luck and pray for us if you believe!

Finally!

So we have been waiting and waiting for the welfare investigator to come and finally today he came. He was really nice and we should hopefully hear something from our worker in a few days. We don't expect to get Cash aid for more then October and November since The Hunners didn't start getting his unemployment until last week but that money will give us what we need to get the van taken care of so when the next week an a half flies by we will actually be able to sleep in the van. Jonathan is thinking of going over the road again and if he manages to find something I really don't want to be sleeping in the van alone. So I don't know what is gonna happen. I do not take welfare lightly. We only applied for cash aide after a month of not finding any jobs. We are not the kind of people to take from the Government just because we can. We are very needful right now and that is what it is there for. So if you read this please understand that we are not the people who take advantage of the system. I don't feel good being on the system. So I definitely don't abuse it!
