Kid Rock and Me

     As I sit here and finish my ravioli and think of what my wife and kids did today; I can hear Kid Rock, perform on VH1 Storytellers.

He just got done saying ya'll wantin' to get something and living off the goverment need to think about givin' more than you got; or something like that.  Well Pal; just like Tommy  I'd like to smack you in the mouth.  I've lost my family.  My home.  All my means of support.

Some may say I'm lazy.  Maybe I am.  Maybe my family has been hit a bit more than what some have read in the local paper. 7.75% unemployment.....does that count the homeless or just those that have registered?  5% drop in the housing market.  Where did the stat go up for them?  Rentals?  Not in what I've seen.

How can I explain this feeling of today?  Is it the holiday?  Is it the missing of family?  Well; I think it's more.  I think it's not depression, but just being tired.  Fed up.  had my fill.  finalized.  fini.

I get gnawed at when Brandy tells me something hurts.  She's in pain.  She's tired and fed up.  It's not fair.  She needs to know I feel her pain.  I agree with her thoughts.  I couldn't snap into our place as she sat in a hospital bed the last 3 days.  How pathetic could I be?  I know she is mad at me and you know I couldn't blame her for leaving me for all of this.

I've begged; borrowed and stole to get to this place.  Imagine if I would have just been still. 

I hope your family is good and all who want to get up extra early for the BLACK FRIDAY sales.  Get the gift and when you are done get home and hug you family.  Right now as the rain drops in Vegas; I wish I could.

I love you Brandy, Bobby and Joseph!

Very weird the hoops to jump thru for the Homeless

     Do this; Do that and then we will let you know that you are not in need.

     "What is the requirements we need to meet?"

           "Well we are not allowed to discuss the specifics with a client."

     And I'm supposed to figure this stuff out?  It's really confusing and even harder to call the family out of state to just talk because I can hear we told you so again.  I gotta go run and see if I can get on a bus and meet up with the family.

     Have a good one.

It's going to get cold!

     Can you beleive Vegas will be 46 degrees tonight?  I'm going to be happy to have my REDWINGS jacket on.  Hope the casinos don't kick me out or I'll be sleeping at the Grey Hound station.

     I'll be able to plug in there till the library opens.  Let's see if they can give me a card for a new book.  Trying to find a hotspot to download some podcasts and give myself some free entertainment.  The shelters are really hard to get into right now.

     Hope all is well with you all!

Homeless shelter

     Well, they accepted Brandy and the boys.  Barely.  Given 3 days as of now, because Brandy has a job even tho she had surgery 3 weeks ago and the doctor won't release her for employment.

     The boys will be back in school, but it's going to be a long day for each of them.  I can visit from 8:30an to 6:30pm.  I can't be on the premises or anything.  They have lights out at 8pm.  Wow.....

     I'll be hitting the shelters myself, but I've already been turned from 2 because of capacity.  We will see won't we.....

Good luck all!

Shelter Life........

    Going to take the boys and Brandy to the shelter in about 20 minutes.  I have no idea when I'll see them next.  Had to go and lie to my sons and tell them I knew it all was going to be okay.  Trueth is; I don't know.

     I'm hoping to be able to find a place to remain safe myself and not get mugged for the last few things that I have packed in my backpack.

     At least I'll know that they are safe and getting the help that they need.  I'll try to remain posting, but finding a place to plug in is a bit hard lately.  Talk to you all later.
