VA housing meeting today

and omg, this stuff is worse than 70's stereo instructions ...

need to make some phone calls

precious metal

Well, you know that commercial showing "precious metal" as a brass key for a front door to a home, I got that feeling again today when I signed the purchase agreement for the li'l house! I guess it was a wee bit bitter-sweet for Pat (Joe's sister), but one less thing she'll need to worry about. She's also dealing with some other financial issues (not tied to the house).

She said she get me the keys soon enough and then the work starts. mmmm I think I'd better take a nap now!

kids

I always thought that being a loving mother, fighting hard for my kids, sacrificing so much for them would reap me the reward of the family I craved since being a child. Well, live and learn and you learn that despite all you did, you're still going to grow old alone.

by May 2, the house

will be mine, and all the responsibility thereof. Then I have to get to work about getting the government involved, or somehow otherwise to fund the home for veterans. I go next week for a "class" at Brecksville.

We're close

to getting the little house ... Sister Pat talked with me today. I did a lot of work around the yard (oh yeah, my muscles are hurting). I even think I'm a tad sunburned on my face. My headache is acting up, but then I've been stressed out. Just want to get things finished legally with the little house so I can get work started for when Janessa comes

please please please!

There may have been a screw up at work (DFAS) on my pay & retirement. Not that I don't have paperwork (email) backup on it, but worrying about it right now is NOT doing me any good - and still no word on finalizing the house next door. I had a dream, I made a promise to God to help others, as he kept me safe for so long (ok I did go crazy, but who wouldn't have with what I had been through). It's not much, but it would help so many. Just please, in the next few weeks let this all go "right"...

It's Saturday,

but have a lot of work to get done around the house. Staying low, headache still there

I'm trying ...

truly to stay calm. Too much going on right now. Hope the house all goes through ... hope that all settles at work too...
