So, I was a teen mother. I was engaged, pregnant, married, mommy and divorced all before I turned 21.
When I left my daughter's father, I just wanted out. I wanted everything to be over and done with and I let him manipulate me every which way. I gave him everything and just asked for return of my stuff and my daughter's belongings (of which I probably only got half of it back). He could have the house, the other car, furniture.. everything.
Anyhow, he was an E3 in the military at the time, so he wasn't making much money at the time, so the child support wasn't all that much. I never took him back to court after he got out of the military and was making better money. I didn't want to deal with the drama that would ensue if I did that.
Here are the things that I wish I had known back then.
1. Even if the support order says they are supposed to carry medical/dental/vision insurance on the minor child(ren). The only thing that the child support office will do is send a letter saying that he needs to provide the information. If they don't have them covered, or have insurance that is basically useless where you live, there's not much that can be done, unless you go back to court. Yes, they are in contempt of the order, but you need a judge to do anything about it.
2. If there end up being medical bills at a later time and they are supposed to pay for half of any of those costs, unless there is a money amount that the judge awards in the child support, there's not much you can do if they won't pay. So say you get a bill for the dentist/doctor/optometrist. You need to take a copy of the charges, send it to them within 30 (it might be 60) days with a request for payment. You need to do this in a way that you can prove to the court that you requested the payment from them and they received the request (so certified receipt, etc.). You must do this to show due diligence in trying to collect. If they don't pay, you then will have to take them court and get the judge to award a dollar amount.
3. If you can negotiate it, you should try to get them to agree to cover the child(ren) on their insurance until they have finished school (including college). Sometimes if you are lucky, you can stipulate for them to pay child support while the child(ren) are full time students.
If I had to do it all over again, I would have asked for more support up front. Because if the other parent refuses to help with any additional costs, you are SOL if it isn't in the court order. Remember... ballet, karate, gymnastics, baseball, football, music lessons. All of that stuff costs money! When your child is in high school (or middle school) and their class goes on trips to Washington DC or science camp.. Those cost money too. Those are things you can't account for. Your kid goes off to college, they are 18 and you may be the only one willing to help as much as you can.
I understand the want to get out, be done with it. But in the end, I wish I had the forethought to plan for these things up front. I wish someone would have told me this. Remember, either way, you are going to get out, even if it takes a bit more struggle in the beginning. If you don't do it up front, you will forever be fighting it later on. I don't know how many times I went to ask for more help and was told that I needed to use the money from my child support to pay for any of those things. Was told that housing/food shouldn't be considered part of child support since I needed to have a place to live for myself and I needed to feed myself. Sometimes they just don't get it.

Obsession.......
So as I said before, I am bipolar.. One of the side effects of my bipolar disorder is that I am always obsessing about SOMETHING. It changes from day to day, week to week. Sometimes it sticks around for a while, others it's fleeting and only around for a short visit.
Lately, my obsession was crafting. So along with crafting, it went to many different areas.. TUTUS - don't little girls look ADORABLE in little tutu dresses? Then it was Christmas items, decorations, gifts, etc. Then I HAD to have the expensive die cut machine. Which I was SUPER gung-ho about but it's been sitting in my kitchen untouched because the day I went to use it, I realized I needed something else, then just lost momentum on the whole thing.
I seriously have enough craft stuff of all shapes/sizes/styles/projects to fill a 1 car garage! I can't find most of it at this point, because there is just so much of it and I live in a little place, so it's mostly in boxes, stacks, bins.. etc. I don't know if it is more of my high-high bipolar kick that gets me switching from one project to another in lightening speed, or my ADD that makes me lose interest.
At this point, PINTEREST is pretty much the devil for me. SO many ideas and cute things to try and I just can't pick one.
I mean.. it's a little obvious, with how I write my blog for 3 days or so, then I don't touch it for a month. All of sudden, a month later, I realize that I haven't written and then decide to start again.
Am I the only one who deals with this stuff?

I don't even watch soap operas!
Seriously, something has got to give!!!
Is it only me that feels like their life is like a constant soap opera and you just want to get off the carousel?
My neighbors still bite the big one. There was some police activity (SERIOUS activity) about 2 weeks ago. So crazy that the entire condo community came out to watch! Think... Episode of COPS! DEA/SWAT...
Now they are home. How the heck did that happen? They've decided to step up their noisy game by a thousand. They switched out the all night stomping, and loud knocking visitors for playing their radio.. with the bass BOOMING! Like my windows shake, but the sound is down enough that you can't hear much outside. UGGH!!
My grandma has been in and out of the hospital the last few months, had to go by paramedics again this last weekend. My dad is supposed to have surgery on his birthday (tomorrow) for his shoulder, that will keep him out of work for 6 months. My mom needs a lady surgery that she's waiting for my dad and grandma's stuff to cool down a bit. My little brother is out of rehab, but running amok again.
Another friend/neighbor's boyfriend had open heart surgery last week and had a couple hairy moments.
This week, not much is going on with the kid, which is amazing. Oh, well she changed her major, but it's a good decision, so I'm on board with that. The dogs are driving me nuts, I can't find a psychiatrist locally..
my bi-polar butt is fluctuating so much that it could give a flux-capacitor a run for its money. And all I want to do is SLEEP. Which I can't do because my neighbors can't figure out the signal of me pounding on the wall means their bass is driving me BATTY!
There's a bunch more stuff, but I just have to save that for another day, so I don't end up giving myself an anxiety attack!

Does being bipolar give a person the right to be a JERK?
Ok, so we all know that I really wasn't thinking JERK when I wrote that.. I was thinking more on the lines of a total b*tch..
I have been a little on the blue side lately. Lots of changes, lots of drama and stress going on in the family, with the kid, with life in general. So of course for someone who is bipolar, that means a lot more of the really low-lows and less of the high-highs. I do have some times in my life where I'm just in the middle, but not too often. I will be honest, I did go off my bipolar meds about 6 months ago. I feel that I've been maintaining pretty well in that time. At least most days, I have been. BUT.. I have that nagging suspicion that it won't be long until I have to start taking them again.
So most people wonder why I don't just continue taking them all of the time. Which would make sense, right? Well, I have a history of stopping and starting on these meds. I have also read that I'm not the only bipolar person who does this. I have a few reasons, that all seem sane to me.. First one is that I had a hard time with my family making comments to me about me having to take meds to be a 'normal' person. One person in particular told me that they understand that some people just can't handle life without being doped up. Oh and that I just needed to deal with it and let things go... Thank you person, for giving me a complex about not being able to deal with life without meds.
Another reason I don't like to take meds, is that the meds that have been prescribed to me, make me gain weight and have caused my teeth to go bad. I have some major vitamin deficiencies that were never present before and I'm not only bipolar, but also ADD, so there's that. So I tell myself that I'd rather be normal weight and crazy that fat and sane.. Oh, and there were some meds that seemed to work for me, but alas, my insurance doesn't cover them and the co-pay for the pills are like 120 for one prescription for one month.. and I have like 6 prescriptions that I take, and most of the others ones are not tier 1, so my meds bill for one month was almost 500.. Sorry, single mom here, I can't afford that!
So with all that rambling... (see, told ya.. ADD)... I have been a little grouchy lately, a little anti-social, a little depressed, a little obsessed with certain things... I don't sleep much, then when I do, it's like I Crash HARD.. such as this weekend. But it also means that when I do interact with people (usually because I feel guilty if I ignore them), I can be a total DICK. I try to be nice, but I think most of the time, it just comes off condescending. To be honest to those people.. If you could really hear the stuff that's going on in my head as I talk to you, you would thank me for putting a filter on my comments. UGGH.. I know being bipolar, having a bad day, etc doesn't give me the right to be a b*tch... But try telling me that to my face..
So I'll say this now, in the most sincere way that I can.. Sorry for being a JERK.

No, I didn't win any money on the lotto this weekend.. Back to work Monday! :'(
So I didn't really have much that I had to get done this weekend. But I can tell you that on Friday night, I didn't assume that I'd spend most of the weekend in bed watching TV, napping and cuddling with the fluff balls (my dogs). But that's just what I did, well except for a few things I HAD to get done this weekend.
I'd like to say that something fun/exciting, or just anything out of the ordinary happened this weekend, but that would be a lie. I did NOTHING! Well, maybe a few things, but it was a drop in the bucket of my normal weekend activities.
I did however buy lotto tickets, and didn't win! Not a penny! Not even 1 of my 10 tickets had a winning powerball number. WTH? But nobody won the jackpot, so I guess I'll buy some more for the next go-round. Funny thing is that I NEVER buy tickets. When I'm in the office and they do a big pull and every pitches in and we buy a ton of tickets, I always donate, but on my own, hardly ever do I play.
Funny thing did happen, I remembered that my mom told me that she used to play my grandpa's lotto numbers after he passed away (seriously came to me out of nowhere). So I called her up to ask if she had already bought tickets with his numbers. She of course wanted to know why I was asking... She hadn't bought his numbers in a long time (he passed away almost 12 years ago), and had misplaced his old tickets. I told her, I had no idea why it popped into my head, I never play, never bought tickets, but when I decided I was going to go pick some up, I immediately thought about his numbers.
Apparently she thought it must have been cosmic or angels telling me to play his numbers, because she rooted around her stuff until she found his old tickets, went down and purchased some tickets with his numbers and said she'd share with me if she won big. LOL.. Unfortunately, she didn't win, so I guess I will be working tomorrow. But she also sent me a copy of his old stub. As I was looking at it.. I noticed that his picks only went up to like 45 and we have up to 69 that we can choose from now. So I wonder if there's some mathematical equation or algorithm that could decipher if he had the additional numbers available to pick from, would he have chosen different numbers? Seriously, these are the things I think of.. No joke...
Ok, so now it's getting late and I must climb into bed and curl up with the mutts, so that I may drag myself from slumber an hour early, so that I can send my demon child a couple messages wishing her a good first day of second semester at college.
oh.. and maybe tomorrow I'll finish my match.com profile that I actually started sometime Friday night...

Adulting Sucks!
The last few days, ok, maybe weeks... I've been getting less patient and more annoyed with just about everything. I hate Adulting!
So while I understand that this is my form of ranting and complaining... I can still complain about others complaining, right?
I have a friend who has been out of work for several months, they didn't try to look for work until unemployment dried up, and now can't find anything months after that. They are always complaining about not having $$ to do anything and needing a job, but not really doing anything to get one. When they do go to interviews, they never follow up. This person lives with their family, so is able to skip paying rent and the family helps by paying this persons necessary bills. THEN to top it all off, this person is always telling me about going to some cool show, movies, etc. Seriously, just start Adulting! We all have to do it sometime!
To the neighbors upstairs who still suck, seriously, your kids have to be under 12 years old, quit blaming all of the noise on them at 1am and 2am. If it is them, why the hell aren't they in bed after midnight on a school night? Idiots! You need to Adult better!
To my 18 year old kid.. You're going to learn what Adulting is all about. It's time that this gravy train leaves the station and you start being independent. I'm not saying I won't be here to help, or guide you, but I am saying that you need to learn some respect and realize just how good you've had it all these years. I know you can achieve greatness and I'm pretty sure we are not going to get along for a bit once I tell you that I'm cutting off the $$ flow, but I have faith that you will figure it out and forgive me. Adulting means less spoiling by momma.
Seriously, enough rain already! People have enough trouble driving on a nice sunshiny day. Throw in some rain, wet streets and impatience and these Adults become jerks, inexperienced drivers and lots of bad things happen. Not to mention I have a lot of friends in Cali who are freaking a bit worrying about landslides, etc from all of the rain. Because I have to Adult, bunkering down in my house for several days without leaving at all is not really an option... Oh, and I'll be a crazy, frustrated person until it lets up. Oh.. and the dogs don't like to pee/poop in the rain!
Adulting means responsibilities, but it doesn't mean constant frustration and unhappiness. At least it shouldn't! take a moment out of your day and do something just for you. If that means locking yourself in the restroom for an extra 5 minutes just to breathe (don't inhale too deeply) and catch your bearings, do it. Or drive through Starbucks for that little pick me up. Climb into bed and cuddle for just a couple minutes to catch your breath. Do something for you, so you can continue to be an awesome adult. :)

A New Year, A New Me... Yeah Right
So when the clock rolled to 12:01 am on January 1st 2016, I started making a list of all of the things I was going to change and things I was going to start doing...
1. Lose Weight/Get Healthy (Don't most people have this on their list?)
2. Get my business going. I love to do crafts, it will be fun!
3. Start doing stuff for myself. The kid is off at college, 18 and I need to start doing things for me!
4. Become more active.. I have friends, but I need to start going out more and doing more things.
5. Get organized. I'm a mess, I'll admit it. I know where most stuff is, but it's chaos.
6. Figure out where I want to go.. Do I want to continue living where I do, or should I move?
7. Start dating... (Hello Match.com...)
I went to bed with all of these amazing things in my head that I was going to start doing in 2016.. 2016 was going to be my *itch!
I woke up thinking about all of the things I needed to get done before my kid headed back to school, everything she needed. The dating thing.. It would probably be a waste of time even signing up for Match, until I could lose some weight. Nobody wants to date the fat middle aged chick. I'm doomed to be a crazy dog lady (I don't have cats).
I did start looking online for all of the different craft ideas of things I want to start making.. then i got a little overwhelmed. There is SO much out there to make! Seriously, it's pretty crazy!
I need to do stuff for myself, as soon as I finish doing the things that I promised everyone else I would do or help with. (Did I mention that I have a REALLY tough time telling anyone NO?)
The business, I started doing stuff at the end of 2015, but I never had enough time to get fully immersed, can I really carve out time to do it all? Can I learn to tell my friends that this is a solo enterprise and the things I'm doing, I'll ask for help when I want it.. I know they mean well by offering to help, but it is something I want for me, and I have a vision, that I can't often translate into words or explain how to do? Plus training someone takes LOADS of time. Is it easier to just shut it all down? IDK
After having my kid around for a very draining month, spending "quality time" with my family, really I think for the next month, I'd love to just veg in front of the TV and catch up on Netflix shows, or read some books.
Moving? My lease isn't up until this summer, so there's really no reason to start planning now. Give it a couple of months, right?
Seriously, what made me think that anything would be different this New Year? Why would things change this year, when they didn't change much last year? I guess it's up to me. I need some determination, but right now, I just wish I had some cake and hot chocolate and a Netflix TV show that could hold my interest for more than a couple of episodes.
Anyhow, time to sign off and do something productive.. Maybe?

I need some determination, but right now, I just wish I had some cake and hot chocolate and a Netflix TV show that could hold my interest for more than a couple of episodes.
Anyhow, time to sign off and do something productive.. Maybe?
