Aly did spill a bit about last night.  Marcos asked her if she received a message he left.  (He hasn't called between Sunday & Wednesday), ya, I guess she said.  She then asked, hey, when we call you a few times you don't call us back.  He then pursued the, so, you not calling back is revenge.  Jeez, he is saying this to his kid.  Boo hoo, Markie. As far as the places & times to transfer the kids, Aly told him we had a cop about the rules, rules, rules...  Oh so your Mom is going to finally follow the rules, sorry at this, I broke out in full fledged laughter.  Let me count the weeks of cs I didn't get, the kids crying over their Dad not showing up, & the gut buster, the insurance cards...  who cares where they are, I don't have them...  no plates on the car, no vacations scheduled, I may bust a gut....

Got a letter from the Child Support services.  I need to send in the checks, or, or...  I did receive a letter from my new case worker, I will report the two checks tomorrow.  To date, I have not used all of Dec food stamps, and I used 184.90 of the cash for Jan-easy to pay that  back, I will if I get a check.  I think that if I get another check it will be another week away.  My back up is that he has worked a couple of weeks and then stopped.  I have bank statements to back that up.  Since August.  If I use all of Jan, I will need to pay back 723.00...  If I get two checks, it'll cover it.   I will assume they will go for arrears, that will be nice, maybe they will re-do this "dissomaster" appropriate for 2007.    I noticed the case # is different from the one on the checks.  Hands raised in the air...  I have a $145...  I am good til the 10th 

Then there's the kicker, Footy has been acting weird today, and his one eye  is really bad.  He did poop, I'll check it tomorrow.  He seemed fine this morning until his eye.  Aly is worried.  He's still stretching out and snoring tonight.  We'll see tomorrow.

Shawn was on Oprah today, he prayed & slept his way through 4 years.  He did check his website, knew that since his parents had hope he would too.  He could feel his parents hope & love.  His parents "know" he was sexually abused (he was checked at a hospital when the PD took him out.  )  Oprah told us, the audience that there were things she couldn't ask.  She mentioned that at a break Shawn told her he was terrified.   Oprah introduced Shawn to the audience, he asked him to stand up.  When he sat down, the audience gave him a standing O.  It was cute that Oprah & Shawn brought up how he was looking forward to going back to school (he hasn't been for 4 years), Oprah giggled with the I bet you didn't think you'd ever say that.  One talking head brought up that Shawn's parents were parading him.  Shawn is a symbol of good family values that a parent sets in, he would pray with the sign of the cross each night...  and that his parents from afar sent him love he felt.  Ben didn't appear, he was there but his parents felt he had enough media attention.  Oprah brought up that that Shawn's family were to be escorted out, FBI instructing, and Ben's parents then got their time.  We saw Shawn mouth thank you when the two cops came on, when he met them, he double hugged them.   I missed the last 10 minutes of the show.

Tomorrow, call & report to the new case worker.  No TV for the kids tonight, tee hee.  They were so close.  When they needed to clean their room and de-Aly the house, I could hear them all the way back here.  Playing gleefully in the living room.  I wonder if Aly called Marisol about the weekend trip today.  She did announce that she will get straight A's to go see Kristin in Young Frankenstein in NYC next year.  God Bless her...  yee hee, I'll go soft with all B's....   Hey, I want to go to NYC and I want to see the show too...   "Nurse elevate me"...gaffaw.  Grey's on in 5 minustes, I'll tape it of course.  Man oh man, and there's the violating the restraining order, I may have a "rules, rules, rules, " smile all weekend...Loving life and praying for peace.
