[QUOTE="Californiablonde, post: 552621, member: 2196"] Well my mom broke down and gave me $40. I am using half for gas and half for food. Both difficult children eat lunch at school so all I have to worry about is lunch for me (I can skip breakfast a couple of days) and dinners. I can make $20 stretch over three days easy. What a relief. I did not want to do top ramen for three days. I hate the stuff. It tastes nasty and has a bunch of empty calories, fat, and sodium. If I had to do it, I would have, of course, but I was not looking forward to it. And my kids are old enough that yes, they would know something was wrong if that's all we had to eat. They're smart kids. They know I don't buy ramen noodles and canned fruit normally and they would definitely be questioning why. They don't like the stuff either. So my mom came through for me and for that I am grateful. My phone and cable got shut off and I was able to get my phone turned back on by promising to pay them when I get my first paycheck, since I have no idea when that child support check will come. Ex claims his boss sent it Thursday, but so far child support hasn't received it. Hopefully it will come quickly. I have the kids this weekend. Ex was supposed to have them but he canceled on me. It would be nice to have money over the weekend. We shall see. Oh, and for those of you who are suggesting food stamps, thanks for the suggestion but I already tried it once. In California, you can't get child support and food stamp at the same time. I don't qualify. Thank you all for your suggestions. We will get by with what we have for now. Just pray that check comes through by Friday! [/QUOTE]
