Hey Carole WIC is a program where they give you vouchers everymonth to get things like milk, eggs, fruits and juice and helps with supplement formula once the baby comes. We have a child tax credit that we get at tax time every year but its on all children you do get more on the younger children...but it helps! When we file we usually get about 2000 back til the child tax credit and then it goes up and last year we got 5400 back! wohoo

Wow how did you know that he didn't build a fire?? Your good! Thankfully it is not to cold out today, and I am covered with a blanky and warm for now.

WOW....see wwe don't get to have a yearly tax credit for the kids as we get the monthly credit. So it sounds like it works out the be the same.

I love that WIC program...my cousin in WA used to get that. What a great thing.....I think its better than getting the cash in canada as u should see the casinos and bingos that are packed on child tax payday. it's sad...that money needs to go to help the kids, at least with coupons u know there is food in the house.

I feel like crap ladies....I have toast stuck in my throat..from gaggin so much. Since my stomach stappling anything startchy like bread, rice, pasta are hard to eat. It gets stuck....it's painful too

Lucky guess....lol, I see there may be a pattern. If he wont build one when he is happy with u I doubt he will build one when he is pissed at u

Man Carole I think you got my MS for the day. Sorry your sick hun. I hope you get it washed down and feel better soon. XX

 

[Tigerlilies]

Man, Sanding I'm sorry things are rough today. I pray everything works out! I'm curious about the Thanksgiving dinner too.....

Carole, yeah, that girl is being rude, I wouldn't bother anymore either. Half wondering if she's a big time atheist and doesn't want anyone "praying" for her?

You guys are hillarious though! I love our thread! Doing good, can feel my uterus changing. The constantly thirsty followed by more trips to the loo has already kicked in but that's it for now.

 

[needafriend]

I think I may have to look at your deer photo's again to get the ball rolling..LOL...well, I need to go get ready as I am off to Costco to grab a few things for Christmas for my rats. I will be on later as always....have a good one ladies, chin up Sandy.

 

[mommy2lexi]

Yup...we get WIC too.. LOVE it..it really helps with the monthly grocery bills. And I love the child tax credit. Last year was our first time getting it and we got back like $5600 Granted this year I'll have to claim my pt work that I've been doing, but hopefully we'll still get a lot back since we usually have more deduction than we are even able to claim. Gotta love tax time!

 

[reedsgirl1138]

I think you guys missed this post...here is the thanksgiving thing

The thanksgiving thing is cause my x and I have joint custody of our kids and he has them this week. We had it set up where my family was doing it at 1 at my uncles which is about 45min away from where I live and I had to have them back to him so he could go to his family's by 5. Well now my family has changed their time to 4 so there is really no point in me going. The plan was we was suppose to be there about 11-12 and we would eat about 1 and then we would have time to visit but well that is out the window. I could still go by myself but I am a little mad that they can't just stick to one time and leave it be. I know its probably pregnancy hormones but its crap that they do this every holiday, I didn't get to go to Christmas last year because of it.

 

[needafriend]

oh ya...happy 19 weeks nicole and 20 to sandy. and 4w.1d to you dear lilies.

 

[mommy2lexi]

Man I am sorry about Turkey day. Personally I hate it when times change or people change their minds, I am WAY too scheduled for all that crap. It sucks...I'm sorry I also feel bad that you have to 'share' your kids. I don't know how you guys do that...I give you big props...I'm too selfish and would want them all to myself. I can imagine it gets really hard around the holidays.

For us, this is our first time doing a holiday on the actual holiday for the first time in years. With John's work schedule we usually celebrate on a different day. Like this year Christmas is on a Sat...but we'll be celebrating the Wed. before since John has to work that weekend. Again, gotta mention how EXCITED I am for xmas!! I just love it!

 

[Tigerlilies]

I second everything Nicole typed! (yeah, it's a bit lazy but I completely agree).

 

[reedsgirl1138]

I actually don't mind the shared custody. My kids are older and they are content with it. When Dylan was smaller I hated it...my x and I split when he was 2 and it broke my heart everytime I had to send him to his dad's. But now my kids are 15,14 and 7. Now that I am not working though I am hating the being alone that week and my oldest are wanting to come live with me full time and my son is wishy washy LOL. I am not sure what time will bring but as long as they are happy I can live with it.

 

[needafriend]

I am with reeds ....my boys are 10 and 12....Joe has been in Landons life since he was 2 so he always remembers him and doesn't have memories of Ed and I together. Ed...the ex is a butt head, cheap and lazy but other than that he is a hands on dad and loves the boys. He just sends the wrong message to them at times about working for what u want and having the desire to better yourself. He lets the church provide alot for him which is wrong. he is able bodied, has a degree as a copy writer but chooses to work as a janitor at a skating arena. He was a honor student and has tons of potential but it lazy. My oldest see's it and knows it's wrong to take advantage of the charity of others when u don't need it. He just started working full time and told the boys last year that he had to go to the food bank cause mom takes all his $$ for support.
Long and short of it, i let him go 2 years without paying me a penny to get his shit together, I bought everything and paid for everything for the boys. Then a year ago we went to court against my advice, I wanted to settle it out of court and just get $100 a kid per month. Judge was mad at him and made him pay guideline support which is $650. LOL...and he called me a greedly biotch for asking for the hundred a kid. I also wiped out the $15,000 he owed in retro support. But my kids will know the truth one day...well my oldest knows already and thinks it's shady of his dad not to help out on his own. The goverenment takes part of his checks to pay me. when there are field trips he wont help out or nothing but thats ok....my boys aren't dumb and they will figure it out on their own. Other than that....he is good. LOL

 

[needafriend]

So, I was just on skype with my hunny and he tells me he has some bad news. His sisters little boys was playing with our camera and it's now broke. LOL..Joe was so upset....he has no clue I just bought us a new one for his bday. Perfect timing but i will have to give it to him early as we need it before dec 30

 

[needafriend]

This is my hero..my dad. Nicole, we never chatted then but my dad almost died this summer with a blood infection that caused heart & kidney failure. He was on life support for 3 weeks at only 57 years old. He is skinny and aged about 5 years now but he is here with us healing. (actually, they live in Yuma for 1/2 the year. I love that man so much.

 

[Tigerlilies]

Awww Carole, you're dad is handsome! I'm so glad he's doing better! BTW, you really do have the patience of a saint! How in the world did you stay with your ex so long? He sounds like such a jerk!

AFM, I'm currently without water. Hubby has to put in more support in the wall to run the new plumbing through, therefore, now has to redo the new plumbing he did on Sunday (it never fails, all our projects go that way...redoing work b.c it wasn't quite right or good enough!). The structural inspector was again a no show today, Jeff called everyone he could and no one would help him or give him a straight answer. Unbelievable!

 

[needafriend]

Thanks lilies....we all think our dad is the best. God saved him. Even the Dr's were shocked he made it. They asked if there was a DNR in place...seems like a dream now.

[needafriend]

I don't know how I stayed either...had the kids, we got baptised together after Joshua was born. Ed was a catholic and I was brought up in the Baptist church so he converted to mine as he liked it better. I guess i thought I could never get better and had to do what was best for my kids....then he started lying about puffing to me and being physical....and suing his employeer for easy money....enough was enough. I left and quit my job of 15 yrs, moved to edmonton with no family, no job nothing. Got a job running a group home, loser and i got back together for a year and then i said nope.
left him again and 3 months later I fell in love with my joe.yay!!
