[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 171051, member: 1514"] I know what you mean. I worry constantly about the what ifs. I am very glad that I paid for my mobile home out right when I took on my mom so at least we wont be homeless. The cost of electricity here though is outrageous. I have to run my air conditioner because I cant regulate my body temp right so I get so hot and miserable. We really should have put in a garden but didnt. I cant work one and no one else would have. Maybe Cory would have knowing about the house arrest restrictions though...lol. Food is going through the roof and we dont even have a food pantry here. I am going to get Mandy and Cory to apply for food stamps for themselves though because they become eligible on their own this month. I hate to do it but ya gotta do what ya gotta do. Every little bit will help. Gas is killing us. We live so far out that we are spending about 75 bucks a week just in gas going to and from town and I drive a focus. We dont do much for entertainment at all. I am going to ask my dad to chip in and help me get a small above ground pool so Keyana and I can swim this summer. She has just decided water is fun and it will do me good to soak. I do pay for Dish but if things get bad I guess that will go but I hope I can keep it because we get zero reception here. Maybe lower my package. We have to keep two phone lines at least until Cory is off house arrest but then we can cut back to one. I refused to let him use my house line which was my link to the internet...lol. I cant get dsl or cable here. The only thing I think we could do is cut back on food and that is gonna be tough considering there are 5 adults and a baby here. Good lord! I just realized that...I gave birth to 3 kids...got rid of one...and gained two! I am going backwards here in the way things are supposed to go! Arent I supposed to get them grown and leave instead of grow up and stay and bring more home? [/QUOTE]
