God, my mornings are crazy!!! We wake up not knowing where we are!!! It takes 30 minutes before we realize we aren’t in bed anymore!!! Our first complete sentence for the day is, “Huh?“…! We finish getting dressed in the car!!! I take roll-call on the way to school to make sure I didn’t leave anyone behind…that being Cooper!!?? We are NOT morning people!!! Not sure what brought on that tangent, but...hey, hey!

Well…apparently today is a national holiday???? The Foodstamp Office was closed! So, we will do that tomorrow!!! It is supposed to warm up this week (thank GOD!!!) …so I will start the backside of the house in the next couple of days!!! I would like to be finished by the end of the week. This weekend Cooper and I are supposed to go to Luverne, Alabama to see my daughter and help her with a yard sale she is planning on having!!! It will be fun seeing her!!! Maybe she will make a little money!!! Wish us luck!!!

Don’t know if I have mentioned what part of Alabama we are staying in??? Tim’s trailer, where we are staying, is located in a small town called Camp Hill!!! My house is located in Auburn, Alabama which is about 20 minutes from here! Camp Hill is in between Auburn and another small town called Dadeville, which is near one of the largest man-made lakes in Alabama called Lake Martin! Got it??? Google it!!! You cant miss it…look for tons of trees and land and I guarantee we are “smack-dab” in the middle of it! Look for a woman and a small child waving at the satellite…that would be us!!! One thing I truly love about Alabama…land and trees!!! While you “Google” Central Alabama, zoom out and you will notice that most of Alabama ((IS)) land and trees! Absolutely beautiful!!! That’s why they call this state “Alabama the Beautiful”, because it really is…beautiful! Well, today Cooper and I took a ride out to Dadeville, Alabama which is at the opposite direction of Auburn (referred to as “town” in earlier posts)…! I decided that we are Dadeville will be “town” from now on, because I am sick of Auburn! That way I wont feel as though I have “back-tracked”…it will feel as though we have simply moved to a different town!!! See how smart I am??? So from now on...”going to town” will mean Dadeville, Alabama! Just for future reference!!!

Cooper is doing really well in Homeschool, by the way!!! We are working on letters right now…Capital Letters and Lower-case Letters!!! His hand writing has improved so much in the last couple of days!!! He is interested in Martin Luther King, Michael Jackson and King Tut!!! Yes…I know??? He is very concerned about Haiti, so we are planning on going to the library, get on-line and catching up on what is going on over yonder…as well checking out books on “the guys” I mentioned earlier!!! *wink* What a beautiful little mind my son has??? It amazes me what he is interested in, ya know??? What a kewl little dude, even if he is mine!!! We are planning on starting him a Blog as well…I will keep you posted!!!

Gotta go…tonight I am finishing my daughters Christmas present! Yes…Christmas! I wasn’t able to finish her gift due to all the chaos that developed over the holidays with my tenants!!! I had to put all projects aside and start packing!!! We had planned on getting together at some point after the holidays! Well, that would be this weekend…so I need to get busy!! Also, I am planning on finishing up piecing together emails that my Attorney wanted! Emails between my tenant and I during…the “chaos”…! So I need to get busy!!! How am I able to afford an Attorney you ask??? Well, I am planning on having my former tenants pay for the attorney’s fees as well as rent that they owe me…and damages!! I want to kick butt and take names this week…so I might not write for the next few days!!! But I (((will))) eventually!!!

Final note: FINANCIAL STATUS!!!! $63.00 left!!! Less than $5.00/day until the first of next month!!! Gotta know how to be thrifty on that budget, aye??? We aren’t the only ones!!! The good news is, we have food…a roof, heat, running water…my gas tank is full and we have friends who love us!!! We have what we need…

Goodnight…
