[QUOTE="Dixies_fire, post: 598680, member: 16184"] I've sold quite a bit of things I had two garage sales in the month of may and sold several individual items made close to 400.00 paid a couple of bills or paid on them but mostly the money kept us afloat, food, diapers, gas, a 99 cent movie rental or two, wasn't much to save but it did help a lot. Kept me busy, kept us from snapping each others heads off because of the money situation. I have a few more items that could go but aren't selling. I wish I could pack up the house right now truthfully I would be busy, busy equals good. But the way the army does it, they pack it all and take inventory as they pack so if things get broken they will pay for it. The most I can do and am doing all be it slowly is organizing cleaning, throwing away. Yes the battery is dead dead. We took it to oreilly's and had them test it because it had died again and we thought something might have happened to the truck to make it keep draining. Nope just a bad battery which I guess is goodish news. We need that truck to go for 3000 I don't think anyone would buy it without it starting. It's definitely worth that money with all the man goodies inside it, to duplicate that would truck would take over 7000 just I'm parts alone. As for tk, it breaks my heart. Other then training and deployment she always has lived with me. But her dad is easier to get along with, less anal retentive more inclined to see her positives. And whether I like to admit it or not training and deployment took a toll on our bond, he did it all for her then and that's more what she remembers. I joined the army when she was 4 most of her solid memories are from when I was in the army working 12 hour days, gone for months at a time. And her dad isn't as stressed as I am. His girlfriend is not a bad woman. He's not a bad man just... I want her to live up to her full potential and combat her very limited comfort zone. She needs to eat, care for herself, make friends, know how to talk to people, figure out how to be a good person who cares for others. I worry that her dad will accept the status quo and not try to teach her. I worry she will think I loved her less. Loved hubs or boyo or Gavin more than her. I think I just have to let it go and accept it. While some people may not agree she is 8 and while she may not understand what's best for her which I can not guarantee right now anyway, she can say what she prefers. If she stayed with me she would be looking at one more cross country move at least which might not be till after school has started again one more school at least transition of another new house maybe a couple before we were settled lots of hard ship. Boyo isn't in school and as long as mom and hubs are there that is home. This is my last day I'm allowing myself to stay in this funk. I will sit on my butt and do limited work.
