Becky, maybe you could double check...housing in MI says exactly what

you did except only for priority I....priority II is a longer waiting

list but because you are not currently homeless.Maybe its that way

where u r and they might have explained it funny...wont hurt to

check.I read all your updates and think and pray for you often.Bless

your heart for what you,ve been through.....youre one tough

cookie.Yesyerday (its now 12:04 so i can say yesterday,lol) was a

terrible day for me as well.But I;m certain if we grin and bear it we

will come out strong, wise, and happy.Until then I'll pray for u!It

seems to work:):)

Sorry about the typos but trying to type in the dark so as not to

wake up thi damned drunk on the floor next to my feet,lol, and cant

hardly see a thing.HEHE.

P/S. i know its really crummy but if you have to ,try to hang in

there for housing.....after on it one year u can move anywhere u want

in country and u pay next to nothing....it stinks to be in this spot

now, but will be worth it in the long run.

Patty, in the sushine state whos delighted itss tomorrow....omg i

love a bbrand new start every 24 hours, what a gift!

trying to figure if I can stand living in a 2 bedroom place with 4

kids.I went to the housing help and they told me if I rent a

house/mobile home or ANY other place to live I will not be eligible

for help with housing(DUH)they expect me to remain homeless for 3 to

6 months to get their help( they are CRAZY).All the places I have

called either don't want 4 kids with one parent or are way too

expensive for 3 bedrooms and 2 bedrooms aren't too far behind them.I

want to have a place to live and I am soooooo frustrated at

continually being told no or being shocked at the expense .I don't

know what to do right now.After the kids being out for a 4 day

weekend I am REALLY wanting my own place .On a better note Rebekah is

all set up for a tutor to come see her 2-3 times a week.Please keep

I know that it will be cramped to live in a two bedroom apartment

with four kids. I shared a bedroom with my three sisters. I liked

having them in my room. We whispered to each other after we were

supposed to be sleeping. I felt more secure with my sisters in the

same room, especially during a thunder storm. We had bunk beds. Our

house only had one bathroom too. Before you took a bath, you had to

ask everyone if they needed to use the restroom. :>)

I think that even a two bedroom apartment will feel better than a

hotel room.

Shame on those people who won't rent to a single mother with four

children.

Love,

Gale

HEY GAL, I wish you had called. I am very sorry that this has happened. You

need to be in a another place. If you took the two bedroom, would they move

you up when one came available.?? It is most likely they only way they can

do it ----if they don't have one now. Wouldn't that be better than NOT

being on your own place. I don't know how long the current arrangement will

go . Have you spoken to anyone at stars for advise? Maybe they will have

some ideas or contacts......I was so hoping the church folks would know of

some place too. It is better than the shelter though. PLEASE call me

tomorrow. I am very happy with the school coming thru. That is a big leap.

You stood up & they saw the light of a very determined mom.....Bless your

heart!! .Give me a call

LOVE & HUGS, GrandmoMBEV

Kind of a pity that your present abode could not have been rented by a

relative with whom you would ostensibly be " staying! " My father was a

lawyer, and I suspect that there is a bit of " work the system " in me--helps

with survival! Love to all of you, Becky, n Rojas

Becky--the only thing worse than 4 kids in a 2 bedroom would be having your

husband with you! I think that once you perservere with CF you can live

through anything life has to offer..... Hang in there. Think of the positive

its

less to clean! I am sure things will improve - you will find a way to make

them!!!!

coined the phrase " BREATHE DAMMIT "

my new favorite quote is

Any idiot can face a crisis -

it's day to day living that wears you out.
