Their father is working in Mexico right now. He has helped financially, but not lately. Prior to Mexico, he was in Washington and after Mexico I think he is going to PA. Not sure. Right now, he is enjoying the free life on the beaches of Mexico with his GF. He saw the kids for a few days at Christmas. Don't know what his plans are for when he is going to see them again.

I am in Central Florida... But I feel very guilty asking friends to keep my kids when I can't pay them. Not too mention for long hours, 8 10 hr shifts on the ambulance, 2 8 hr shifts in the er and 1 4hr at a nursing home. That, I think is too much to ask of friends. But just your mere suggestion made me cry (again)

I have been told by friends time and time again to not air out my issues here... but i have to get it off my chest and dont have any other outlet to do that with so here it goes... As most of you know, I am in school to be an EMT. I go to class twice a night (M,W) and my aunt and uncle who live next too me keep my kids for those nights. To date, they are the only ones on the paternal side of my family that have helped me at all. My dad & step-mom absolutely will not do anything to help me, no matter what it is, they will do nothing. I feel like it is becuase I was a hellion teenager, but even that compared to some of the shit todays teens pull, I was an angel. The worst thing I did was run away b/c my home life was shit. My little sister who did stuff equivalent to what I did gets help from them all the time. She has moved in and out many times and was recently living there with her 38 yro bf (she is 25). They would let me and my kids live on the streets b4 ever lifting a finger to help us. Once I turned 21, I have been completely self-suficient, at 22 I got married and while I was pregnant (2 times) I earned a degree from from Texas Tech. I have always found a way to do for myself. However, now I desperatly need the help from my family. In order to graduate, I have to do 80 hrs on the ambulance, 16 hrs in the ER and 4 hrs in a nursing home, seperate from class time. I would hire a baby-sitter if I could, but as a single mom with one income, my finances are already stretched way beyond their means. I don't go out, and I don't party around my kids. In the past year I escaped to one boogie alone (Hog Flop) but hired a babysitter for the weekend and I worked overtime so I could pay her. I get so depressed when I see other families who are close, and mine is except where I am concerned. I am only going thru school so that I can be sure to be self suficient and make enough to care for kids. Now my maternal family on the other hand is another story, but they are in Indiana. I have given serious thought to moving there, but I know when my grandma passes, my mom and step-dad will be coming back down here to live. I am crying-punching things mad right now. I just dont understand. If I was a dead-beat mom who wouldnt work and did nothing to care for her kids, I could almost understand this black-balling, but nothing could be further from the truth. Thanks for reading my rant....

I was one of the kids, and still today as an adult, don't really care for clowns. Stephen Kings, IT and the clown in the first Poltergeist did it for me....

Thank God Im wired different. I simply cannot comprehend how a parent can hurt thier own children. I have issues with even spanking mine. I just don't get it, Children are so innocent, so sweet. It is such a shame, that these kids will never have a chance in life.

I sometimes think the producers of the show find these people just to annoy the shit out of Simon! The look on his face was priceless!

I agree with ya'll too.... she's good, but not that good and the piano did nothing for me....

However, this girl was absolutely amazing! She will be one of the finalists, if not the winner! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8hxo--7ehU

3 words.... NO SEX ALLOWED

I think that is so awesome!! I have always wanted to learn ASL! You rock! Good luck, school is fun, especially as an adult!

That is quite and accomplishment! Way to go!

I think its a super idea!!!

My daughter's Quarter Horse, Tinkerbell is due to foal anyday now! I have listed our top ten choices for registered names. The foal is sired by a registered Egyptian Arabian named Kongo. The baby will be registered 1/2 Arabian. Arabian/Quarter Horse crosses make excellent sport and endurance horses. Some of the names above are sorta funky, but this is just the name for the papers, a shorter, cuter nickname will be pulled from it. I really want something that has to do with skydiving, but yet fancy enough for the registration papers. Thanks for your help and as soon as he or she makes a presence, I will post pictures... (I attached one of Tink ready to pop!)

So you're ready to execute him, even though he hasn't been tried in court yet? Why should he be tried (wasting tax-payers money) when he confessed, explained what he did (in detail) and why?

Thats hilarious! That would be a super fun toy to have!

Sheesh thats minor! When all of mine were 5 and under, they would gang up.. I had to repaint and entire room once! The Mr. Clean Magic Eraser will probably work better on that and you wont risk damaging the paint.

My favorite was " I need a whopper like Britney Speers needs panties"

http://www.theledger.com/article/20080111/NEWS/801110408/1039 This is one sick f**K! He should not be allowed to consume oxygen any longer, especially since he confessed! What a piece of shit!

Maybe not that extreme, but some kind of memorial to Johnny would be cool. Yeah, I agree, a memorial to Johnny would be awesome!!!

Me too! My girl might hate me for it, but... the alternative could be worse. I am already having a chastity belt custom made for my daughter!!! (JOKE)... I thought the video was hilarious tho!!!

I hardly ever have my fingernails done, mostly just keep them short & very clean (im a little OCD about clean hands ) I do however keep my toenails painted all the time, its just so cute with flips or other open toed shoes...

Have a great birthday!

Cranberry & Vodka ( AKA Capecod), Parrot Bay (straight on ice), Mind Erasers (Kalua, Coke, & Ever clear), Long Island Ice Tea, Captain Morgan and Dr Pepper or Coke. Those are a few of my favorites!

Isn't Murphy's Law great? I can see how that would be frustrating. As soon as I graduate, I will be working 24 on 48 off and have already heard there are some shifts where I will not sleep and barely have a chance to eat. As crazy as it sounds tho, Im looking forward too it!
