So, Friday I had a bunch of appointments and running to do. First was to stop at Domestics to get my support signed over to the assistance office. They made another appointment for me to come back and get my husband for spousal support and up the child support for the boys, since he's now working. Then I had to stop at work for a letter of "termination" stating that I haven't been working since I had no daycare. Then I had the appointment at the assistance office for cash assistance. Right around $400 a month, but I don't think that I'll be getting any payments from them, lol. Next I hit the CCIS (child care information services) where I sat for over an hour calling all the daycares and childcare centers and being rejected (they were all full). Finally someone called back in and I set up an appointment to check her out yesterday. So yesterday rolls around and we head up, everything checks out. She even said that if anyone else needs to pick up the boys, she needs their information, and she requires ID for them to pick the boys up... That was huge in my book, so that conniving little snits like their other grandmother or their father cannot just randomly take the boys. So, the daycare is all set up. As soon as I need her, I just call her and she can take the boys. Now I'm waiting for the next training class at work.
Speaking of the boys, their dad's side of the family, after trying to take custody of the boys, has now decided that they want absolutely nothing to do with the boys. They haven't seen them in three months. No skin off my ass. I feel bad that the boys don't have their dad, but then again, I know that looking at the whole situation, they are MUCH better without the negative influence in their lives. Once they get to be 30 maybe they'll understand that.
As for soap, I have 195 bars of soap for retail purposes. Plus about 20ish bars worth of end cuttings and "personal use" bars (ie, the bars I had to cut to check to make sure everything was cured and the batch that I messed part up when I almost dropped it taking it out of the mold, lol). I'm also laying in bath bombs. It's a little slow because I keep forgetting about them, lol. I'm also working on the warm oil hair treatment and hope to get clay masks done before the show on the 20th. I don't think I'll get to the clay masks, the bath bombs, oil treatment recipe and labelling are keeping me busy.
Archery season is over and I didn't really even get out there. I DO now have a hunting coat, got it way cheap since archery is over, but it's nice, warm and waterproof, and I can just throw a vest over top for orange during rifle.
Bear season is probably a skip this year, which really bums me out, but the tags are $20 and I won't make the first day since we have the show on that day. Jason offered to let me use his rifle, but I just don't think $20 for two days is worth it... Maybe if I could go the first day, but after the first, they're all hiding out or shot. I still have to figure out wtf I'm going to do for rifle deer. I MUST get a deer this year, yet I don't have a rifle and Jas will be using his for himself, lol. I feel like if I don't get a deer, I've wasted the money I spent on licenses and tags ($17 for an archery tag, $20 for the general license, $6.70 for a doe tag). It may not sound like much, but well, I could have at least exchanged the bills for ones and wiped my ass with them and put them to use!
I think that's enough ranting and bullcrapping for now, lol.
