Information Received

okay so i went to children and families early this afternoon and dropped off the letter that they had requested, i spoke with a person at the reception desk and explained to her that i was dropping this letter off for them, and the reason why and what the letter had in it, and that i had applied on the 19th and still hadnt received a response yet, and i asked what would happen next after i dropped this letter off to them. i basically asked her if they would hold up everything because my former employer hadnt provided information that they had requested, she said that they would probably call me and try to contact the employer and that if they still didnt respond to them or give them any information that they would just give up on that and let it go and move on. and the way that i understood that was they wouldnt hold up my case because of that, so that is good news anyway. i also told her that i was pregnant and had no insurance, and she said that she would give it to a worker today, so that is good too, at least i know that it wont be sitting somewhere on a desk. she said that after paperwork is turned in that it takes 5-10 days to be processed. so that was good news because at least i found out that they wont hold up my case because of that one thing.

my boyfriend called up a loan that he had paid some money on, and worked it with them that they took the money that he had paid towards the amount that he owed per month, and made it so that he owes 70 dollars a month less to them, so that gives us 70 more a month to use. i was mistaken though. i was thinking for some reason that we didnt have any money per month for groceries only, apparently i was wrong, we didnt have any money for groceries and gas, so that 70 ahead that we are that i thought could be used directly for groceries, will have to be shared between gas with two cars too, so basically in my mind we are back the same place that we were. and then for some reason, he has to mention to me that we have to figure out how we are going to come up with 1000 for car insurance by april, and then another 1000 in another six months from then. i really hope that i get help from children and families, i need all the help that i can get. i have an appointment for myself with wic on the 18th unfortunately no one else is eligible but me, because i am pregnant. the cut off for kids is five, and my son will be five in may, so i was told not even to bother with him ,and my daughter is of course seven way to old. and of course they dont help men. so that is it, just me for that. i suggested to my boyfriend selling back the car that we had just gotten a couple of months ago, but he knocked down the idea saying that then we would end up owing them a couple thousand which we would have to pay right then and there, which we of course dont have, and also that then we would have issues with transportation. i dont think that we would have transportation issues, because i am not working and we could share the car, but owing them money that we dont have right now just doesnt sound like it would work. i am really trying to think of things to help us though. i am doing everything that i can possibly think of. within reason and that is legal of course lol.

then i speak with my sons father, who i am still technically married to, who i had given a marital settlement agreement to look at and let me know what he thought, and if he agreed sign it so i could file for the divorce with the courts, and not have to worry about it being contested or us arguing about it. he has had the papers for probably 2-3 weeks, and he is now claiming that he is going to show the papers to his lawyer and get his opinion on them, especially being that he said that two of the things that it says in there that he isnt happy about is one that i am the primary parent that the child will reside with and also that if me and him cant agree on a decision regarding the child, i am the one to take over and make the decision. so he doesnt like those two things, and those are two things that i am not going to give up. so i told him that if he wasnt done with the papers by next week, i am going to file them with the courts without his signature, and then i guess we are going to have to argue it out. i really hope that he hasnt gotten a lawyer, because that will just make things more difficult for me, considering that i dont have one, and i am sure wont have any money to get one to defend myself.

i also received a certified mail/return receipt from a towyard who was saying that they had my car in their impound, and that i needed to come and pay them and get my car out, and that if i didnt it would possibly effect me being able to get a tag or register a car in my name in the future. being that i dont currently own any cars, my car was traded in when we got the new car a couple of months back. i found this not very likely. it was of course the car that i had traded in, somwhere there was a mess up and the car didnt get taken out of my name. so i called the dealership and long story short in order for them to fix it i have to go down there tomorrow (at least a half hour each way out of my way, what a waste of money for gas) and sign a paper, and have them fax that with some proof to someone i think the county to get it fixed. so more crap for me to do, and more gas for me to waste.
