Just a quick update
We are doing great!! Our apartment is small and I have to be real creative about storage but its nice. When I was looking at the apartment I know all along where my stuff was going to go. The only new thing I got was a much smaller table for the dinning room..( thanks to Shannan and Health who was insistent that I get all set up the first night. ) It is a cute four chairs round black table, complements to my "favorite store"
Abby and I are sharing a room so its 1/2 me and 1/2 her but what can I do. My mom is in the other room and bathroom. So I went from a 3 bedroom house with a garage to a 1 bedroom apartment with a very small storage closet. But I do love it and its all girl around here..
Our summer is still going strong and we are baking in the heat but who isn't. OK my lovely sister in law R. is not but she lives like 1/16 of a mile from the beach and for them 85 is HOT ( Love you R.).
Speaking of sister in laws shout out to L. who survived a death defining crash that ended up destroying her bike that coast 1/2 of a nice car and cutting open her cheek. Don't worry I already gave her the talk on wound care and sunscreen. SHE is one tough cookie and seems to be doing fine.
We have enjoyed a bunch of swimming a movies this summer top of my list is "Momma Mia" its so fun.
Well that is about it we are all doing well moving forward with our new definition of "family"!!!
You have to work with what you got.
One more thing I need to say
HUMMM Private medical insurance is expensive there is a rally good chance I will not have any, what do people do. I mean there is no way I can afford 300.00 $ a month for cobra which I can for 36 months. How do people go with out it? . It freaks me out just to think of it. At my job I don't have any benefits. I do not want to leave my job (I love it, the time and the kids and I have been there for 4 years it allows me to go to school and not have to put Abby in childcare which I WILL NOT do right now!!!. First with her dad doing what he did and than her mommy not being with her all he time. NO FREAKING WAY.
I grew up and a daycare kid and a latch key kid, my mom did her best but I have such ISSUES about it till this day it would just kill me. Now maybe in the next year or two maybe I will HAVE to but I just can not do that to her. We have been through enough to make this choice would just break me!! I am putting back together my pieces slowly and I'm sure I will come up with a solution soon if you have any ideas let me know!!
Hope you have a fabulous last few weeks of summer I will try to keep you updated better...
LOVE TO ALL

Yay! You are still alive! I didn't doubt you would be :) Have you checked to see if TX has an insurance plan for "smaller" income family or kids. Like Utah has CHIP and Cali has Healthy Families. It's based on your income. IT's Not Medicaid. Love you all!
HUMM who do I call for that?? I called Medi-care the we like "NO MAM" I not to proud to accept aid really. Abby will have good coverage from Garth its just me
Lisa, love to you and Abby!!!
I don't know what to say. Life has been so busy on my end and I know that you need a lot of support right now. I have no idea about the insurance...have you turned to the church for aid and assistance? I think of you guys all the time and once school starts I will have more "girl" time to lend my support for!
