The MiniDramaQueen Chronicles...."I'm SMELLY"

Sooo, yesterday, I ran back and forth to the bookstore selling my college books back trying to gain capital and the MiniMe and I got home a little late and did not get her bath.  I had told her last night that she would get a bath in the morning.  Soo, this morning, we woke up late at 7am and bustled out the house in 20 minutes flat.

We are going along in our morning while on the bus and all of the sudden, MiniMe PROCLAIMS rather LOUDLY that she didn't get her bath last night and I told her she would be taking a bath this morning and now she is going to be all smelly!

Laaaaaaawwwwrd, chirren know how to embarass you! LMAO

Sooo, we get off the bus and she is really carrying on about this smelly business and how she is going to stink at school. LMAO  So I tell her that she had been washed up and I washed her *smelly* parts and she proceeds to tell me how her legs and arms are going to be smelly. LOLOL Then she asks WHAT ABOUT MY FEET MOMMY???? MY FEET ARE GONNA BE SMELLY!!!!  And I ask, do you plan on taking off your shoes and socks??? Whats your deal??? LMAO  She is crying and whining about it and I started singing ALLELUIA trying to drown her out and she starts proclaiming loudly, while walking down the street, how she is going to be smelly. LMAOOO  So I said, won't anybody know if you don't tell them and she says she is going to tell EVERYBODY she is smelly!!! LMAOOO

So we finally get to the front of the school and I said give me hug and kiss goodbye and she does so, goes inside the school door, turns around to me and says with a toss of her head... "I'M SMELLY" and spins around on her heels and goes inside as I stood at the door crying with laughter. LMAOOO

Never a dull moment in this camp. LOLOLOL

Almost doesn't count....

My grades for the first 5 classes have been trickling in and I am positively SICK about it.  I got Honors in 3 out of the 5 classes, and a *PASS* in the other two. Those two classes my average was a 88.7% in one class and an 89.2% and I needed a 90% to receive Honors. Why am I so upset about this??? One because in both classes I scored in the mid 90s on the final.  Two, because upon our graduation, law firms asks the school for the "honors list" and I won't be on it because you have to receive Honors in 7 out of 8 classes in order to get the Honors Paralegal Certificate.  I am sitting in class trying to keep myself under control cuz the tears are brimming.

Michelle Obama's mystery man identified - Lynn Sweet

http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2009/05/michelle_obamas_mystery_man_id.html
I am gonna chalk this one up as a bad news day...

Venting for a moment...

A little while ago, I spoke about going to apply for food stamps.  Well, I did, and was denied because I was 30 bucks over the maximum amount of income you are allowed to have.  Since then, I found out Mister has lost his job and was operating on severance, my hours have continued to be cut with an occasional week of reprieve, meaning I would get a week of extra money.

Well, the rent is paid through the end of May through a lucky, yet manipulated the system kinda break. *whistling real hard like*

On average, I am operating on a 150/week budget.  Most of which I have to either pay a household bill and try and pay on MiniMe's tuition.  She still in school on the good graces of the principal.

Last week, the child support suddenly stopped.  I say suddenly because Mister claimed he had another job within the same company at a lower position and now claims that their was a payroll screw up.  Well, I kinda bought that for the first week, cuz the employer has reduced their staff by about 25%.  But two weeks???? Payroll glitches in companies that pay weekly are usually absolved by the next payday.  I had asked about a month ago about if he could contribute to MiniMe's tuition, which is how I found out about him being laid off in the first place.

So this week, I was forced to charge my debit card on Wednesday for food and bus fare, hoping it wouldn't clear until today, but it cleared yesterday. Sooo, i got 4 overdrafts pending and the extra hours I got last week is now for the banks enjoyment and I am finding myself facing the never ending circle of having to use my card for food and bus fare for next thus risking the potential for being in this same hole next week.

My child support isn't 50 bucks a week, which is usually what use for the $28 bus card and the rest for food for the week.  I have asked him what is going on, and I am only getting vague responses and really, I am fit to be tied at the moment.

it is funny though, because up until today, I have faced every obstacle in a pretty upbeat fashion.  I haven't been feeling down and as I sit here fight tears, I am deteremined not to get too terribly upset about this. 

I guess what is really chapping my hide right now is that  I worked those extra hours (during finals week no less) only to be left with 40 bucks for the week.  and what else is getting me is that Mister seems to not be concerned.  I mean, if he could be honest and upfront about this and his scenario, maybe I would feel a little bit better about this.

Oy vei.

in other news, I got my hair to curl up this year, but I am looking a little moppish. LOLOL
