Still Alive
Posted 08-28-2010 at 03:59 PM by jlaporte
Ok so I haven't been around much.Kinda been dflaited. But Im back sorta with new desire to save and be a better person.I need to vent and update on the on going battles.
My husband and I have become totally commited to each other and our relationship has grown leaps and bounds. We are on the same page on mostly everything. Thats a huge help.
Mathew has started 1st grade. I could not be more pleased because he just loves school. He is fortunate to have his K teacher as his 1st as she was able to loop. He is still tops in his class. I cant say how proud he makes me withhis hunger for life and learning. Molly is still his bestfriend and have so much fun together.
Andrew well has grown so much this summer and still has his girlfriend. She is a peach. He is my rock and has grown into himself and is a wonderful young man. This is his last yr of Middle school.I could not be more pleased. We both cant stand it.But he is in honors and so far likes his teachers and got the classes he wanted. A mom could not be more proud.
Christopher.Where do I begin? Was a touph summer but we made it threw. He is on yet another medication to help him as well as a stabelizer. I love the stabelizer,yea thats bad but,it helps him relax and in turn I can relax. He is in his 1st yr of High school.They want him to go out for football. He said not thisd year. He promised me that he wants to work on himself and his grades then he will go on the football team. 3 days into school already a teacher called to complain. Apparently Chris was having issues with him and was already setting himself to do the grown thing and switch out. I stand behind him on that because a friends son had him and he stated many things that concerned me. Altho hear say I want my kid out. He has shown growh and he even organized school folders and brought me papers to sign, he has NEVER done that! I can hope. He has been going to a church thing with his friend,he says because lots of kids he knows and can hang out. They like him there and he acts and sings! He goes many places with them.I have met the ppl in charge and feel secure. Hey it cant hurt. Maybe that will rub off.
As for me well..Ive been a mess alot.As some of you know my living situation. Here is a refresher,Uncle asked us to move to Florida from Mass to help him.He would give us the house and help us. Especially driving I do not drive,with kids one does have much driving to do. Well been here 2 yrs all way well til about 6 mons. ago.He started changing and being mean especially to Chris.Well yes they r both hard to del with but my kid is a child with mental issues and I stand up for him. HE IS MY KID! Uncle hates that says he is lazy and doesnt do enouph. Well uncle thinks kids should be work mules.I dont think so. My kids have chores and things they need to do.Nothing ever good enouph for him. I did everything for my uncle but once he got mean and verbally abusive to my son I promptly stoped and had a disscussion with him.He was not happy.
Well fast forward to school I asked him to help me with my son as they didnt give him a buss.He said no make majick come out of my ass and figure it out. That hurt.He tried to be all nice to my other 2 sons and goes out of his way to be a jerk to my son and I. So not fair or adult like. Im lost dont know what to do. Well if it wasnt for my good friend I would have been in a loony bin by now. We help each other in every aspect. My husband and her boyfriend have become close to and our kids are close! Its truley a HUGE gift. So now my reason to throw myself into tips and extreme money saving. We decided to move! I want to buy our own trailer. We would like to move to the same park so we can continue to be close and assist each other. We have been looking and we know it can be done. So now I am asking for all the tips and posative energy as I can get from the world to make it happen. I need to save save save!!My bills r to date and bear minimum. I cut costs to keep things low. Im planning on banking our taxes this yr and saving every pennie so we can have a sizeable downpayment. I know it sounds odd to some ppl but I need to do this for my sanity. I want to own my own home. I want and need for my family to be happy. Living in this house is not going to do this. I need to do this for my family.
Wow I needed to get this off my chest.Im excited about my plan and taking every step I need to make it happen.I finally am starting to look to the future again and I know leaving this house will be just that.
