Sucky day!

Got woken up by the front office after 5 hours of sleep to be asked if I wanted to schedule my free carpet cleaning (free because I renewed my lease for another year). Arrived at my 2 p.m doctor appointment at 2:15 because the GPS got my trip all screwed up. Sat in the waiting room at said doctor until 3 p.m. When I asked to reschedule my appointment the lady that sets up appointments asked, "Do you have something else you need to do?",

I said, "Yeah, some shopping". Which was a lie, but I figured it was more civil than saying, "No, I'm just fucking bored after sitting here for 45 minutes watching a crappy TV station!" So I go back tomorrow at noon.

Went to Target with the girls to get a few boxes to wrap presents in. Dropped the girls off at home and said to text me when they went to the hot tub. They did, but I missed the texts because I was wrapping presents, which I'm STILL not done with. And I'm using duct tape because of running out of scotch tape. The girls came over to tell me they had already been to the hot tub, but because DD needs to get some sleep before her 4 a.m shift, they were just going to go back home. When I came out of the bed room to say good-bye to them, I noticed that my son had gone to bed w/o saying good night (he had been up since 3 a.m this morning). He was on the computer when I went into the bed room to do the present wrapping.

Now it's 7 p.m. and I've basically been alone (except for a few hours) all day and here I am again... alone. Maybe I'll go to McDonald's for something to do, then come home and watch basketball on TV... alone. :-(

Back to present wrapping. yay

Proof of homeschooling in Texas

I got a letter from the SSA today saying that as of Dec. 2012 they would no longer pay my 17 year old home schooled teenager his part of my SSDI because "he's not attending a school with an accredited curriculum" and I have to show proof of his homeschool "accredited" curriculum. In Texas you don't HAVE to prove it, according to homeschool law. Here's a couple of links where I got my information.

If you have trouble claiming benefits from state or federal agencies because of your home school status, you may call the THSC Association at (806) 744-4441.

I'll be taking printouts with those URLS to the SSA Department tomorrow, if I need to after I talk to the local office. I only talked to the federal SSA on the phone this afternoon.
