Well the kids are at school, and I am waiting to hear back from someone for a job.
I did something this morning I have NEVER done in my whole life. After I dropped samantha off at school I went over to the park and scoured the trash bins for cans and plasitics......I found 3, then went and drove around the neighborhood, trying to get up the nerve to possiably check out some of the bins out for trash day. It didn't work, I just couldn't do it.......guess I'm not that desperate yet? When I came home I noticed we had a cardboard box by the back door that we had missed that was full of cans, so I will see if Rob wants to take them down later tonight or just wait until tomarrow, its not a big box, so probably only a few dollars worth total, but the last set of cans was only $12 so we only got a small bag of food for the dog, I need to get her more in another week or so.......may have to switch her to something cheaper, but I don't want her to get an upset tummy or not get the right nutrients for a large breed puppy, so I will try and find ways to buy her food first.
So now I'm sitting here, my stomach is a ball of knots today, I think it's because college started today and I still don't have my books, or Rob's. On the plus side, Rob did get into his ASL class but wasn't able to get into English. So if he gets into the class online that he is waitlisted for, he will only be one credit shy of full time...guess he will have to sign up for gym or something?
We are gonna call the utility companies this afternoon and see what they can work with us on, and the credit card companies to see what happens with them to.
Rob's dad said he would try and find some work for him once he know's his school schedual. He also found out that he needs to absolve his company (he only keeps it for insurance for Rob) if he wants to get the second mortage on the house and pay his IRS debt. So he is really pushing for me to get a job that has good insurance........I hope I can find one!
alright I'm off to check the paper for any new job prospects, wish me luck!

i am more than happy to be a reference for you - you are one tough cookie and a very hard worker. You deserve a great job and any review you get from me would be 100% positive.
I too though to look in garbage cans for cans and bottles. Never followed through though. I also thought of donning a disguise and sitting on a corner in a strange city but again - never did! Hang in there sweetie - things only get better. Even when they get worse first.
I really wish I could help you guys :( The only job I've heard of recently is for a tire place on california. If you want more info on that I can give it to you!
Hey...we save cans and every scrap of plastic. You do what you got to do.
We have been turning them in for a few months now. It isnt much money..but it is something.
The economy is just so bad. Peter is getting really frustrated with the job outlook here.
