Have any of you found your Prince Charming YET???

I know I know.... Dont hate me ..... I have officially become a slacker. I have not been paying to much attention to my journal here. Thing is I have so much to write about but no where to begin!

Well first thing I can begin with is how my family is doing. Right about now everyone is fine.

Yesterday I took my son to take an entrance exam at a very good school. I so pray that he gets accepted into the school. This school offers so many different programs. Things that you would not think a middle school out here in the city would offer ... Especially a public school at that. They offer Foriegn Language...(French, Italian, Spanish and German). They also offer classes on Journalism, Forensics, Robotism, Creative writing, Drama, Dance(ballet, jazz) Band and Chorus. Its great that they give children the opportunity to experince these different subjects before they reach High School. Getting in there wont be easy though. They are looking and choosing the best students! They are not only looking at City wide test scores,(My son has gotten all 4's on these test) but they are bringing up your childs entire school history based on report cards all the way from Kindergarden, which means that if your child has ever received a U (Unsatifactory ) or an N( Needs Improvement) this will lesson their chances on being accepted.

So as you can it's pretty competitive. Over 800 Children were being tested and there are only about 700 spots. Keep your fingers crossed for my boy. We should know by the ending of March.

As for Ben and I, we are doing Ok.... I have finally figured out after 10 yrs that we are otherwise fine with each other if I dont get mixed up with his family. I am no longer going to get involved with it.  She is not going to leave him because she has no where else to go,and he is never going to change so he is a lost case.

My landlady came to pick up rent and I must say that her little trip worked wonders on her! She was quite the lil nice lady today. No Drama or anything. She was very polite and has actually NOT been calling me off the hook to stress me out. I guess she needed some sun on those BUNS LOL.... I just hope that sun tan doesnt wear off with all these winter weather out here.

Speaking of which.... OMG it is COLD over here in NYC. Being that yesterday I had to take my son over to that school, we had to be there at 8:00am which meant that we had to leave the house at 7:00am. IT was sooo Cold outside. I felt so bad for my babies. They were literally shivering from how cold it was. BAD MOMMY..... I should have watched the news, had I known I would have bundled them up with about 4 layers of clothing! I t was terrible to see them sooo cold and not be able to make them feel better....To top it off the dammmm bus was taking forever to come...... Finally  I was like enough I might as welll pay the 15.00 for a cab .... the shit was there were no fucking cabs around!! Finally the stupid bus came and my babies were thaweed out by the wonderful heat that the damn stupid bus provided."SIGH"

Lately  have been trying out some new recipes for my family. SO far they have worked out great! Its fun when each night my kids come home and ask OK MOM what's new today? They actually look forward to dinner now LOL..... Instead of coming home and saying OHHH NOOOO that again! The little stinkers.

The other day I went to pick up my daughter at school and her teacher looks up at me and says" Well I know what you are having for dinner tonight" And I look at her like "UMMM you DO HOW?...... SO I ask " Really How"? and she says " Well Kaitlyn told us that all she has for dinner every night is RICE RICE RICE! OHHH MY GOD the little Wench LOL.... I just start to laugh and I said" What A little Liar"LOL... I said actually just this week we have been trying new things....All we could do was laugh.... You would think that I was forcing these kids to eat nothing but rice everyday LOL if that was the case these kids would be extremely overweight LOL Since rice is soooo darn fattening...We do eat rice many times(hey we're hispanic that's  the norm) BUT not every day....hehehehehe... I told my daughter..Well while the rest of us eat the new meals , I will make rice JUST for you.....Her response "MOMMMMY PLEASEE NOOOO .. I'M SORRY... LOL  Is rice really that BAD???? 

SO if any of you ladies are interested in some new recipes....let me know. All of them are cheap easy and quick to make. AND they are really delicious....Every mother's wish come true LOL.... So c'mon ladies get hip with it LOL....

I'll just name a few....Chicken Scampi, Cheesy Chicken Casserole, Easy Spinach Lasagna, and Creamy Chicken Enchiladas. ALLL taste wonderful.

Well we finally have gotten our W'2's. I am very nervous about filing though because I am scared that they will take out some money from his return.

First of all last year the IRS sent Ben a letter saying that he owed 500 and something dollars. So Ben called them and they said Well with Federal you are fine , call State... He calls State and they telll him Well with us you are fine call Federal. WTH No one can tell him why he owes this money. NO oNe even knows who he owes it to! Well just the other day we get a letter saying that if Ben doesnt pay his balance that they are going to start garnishing his check in the sum of 268.00 a week. WTF...This will ruin us if they do this. Why cant they just wait till he files and take it out of the money they owe HIM. I mean my Bro in law owes the IRS 3000.00 and they have not messed with him but for 500.00 they want to fuck up our lives even more! Unbelievable!

ANother thing is that just recently Ben gotsued by a credit card company for the money that THEY SAY he owes them. The stupid idiot did not go to court because he had to work. Therefore the Judge ruled against him and now he owes about 2000.00. The funny thing is had HE GONE to court he would have most likely won the case. He did pay this fucking company. The thing was that he had made a settlement agreement with them to pay 900.00 and that the account would be closed. At first the amount was 966.00 but we called and told them that we only had 900.00 in which they replied "Well ok send the 900.00 the we will accept it. They even came and picked it up at our house for an extra charge of 10.00. Next thing you know we receive a letter saying that he still owes. We called them up and they said that the have on file that the agreement was that he had to pay 966.00 and that he had violated the settlement agreement by not sending full amount. WTF are you out of your freaking minds!!! They say now that they have nothing saying that they agreeed to accept the 900.00. I sent them the proof of the money order and they said that it wasnt enough.... SO what the hell do we do now we asked?? Should we send the 66.00 and call it a day  and they said that no we couldnt just send the 60.00 that we had to pay the full balance which was 1800.. So of course we said FUCK that and we didnt pay nothing...and now we get the judgement against him. I am scared that they will deduct this amount from his income tax... Can they do this????
So now you see why I've been stressed out and neglecting this journal.  Don't you wish that we all lived in Fairy Land and our knight in shining armor would come rescue us from the top of the tallest tower and we would live happily ever after??? Well the funny thing is I have found my Prince Charming, the thing is that he hasnt rescued me from the financial nightmare and we have yet to live happily ever after....."Sigh" MAybe one of these days..  have any of you found your Prince Charming and are living Happily ever after??? Feel free to share LOL.....

Well this entry can literally turn into a fourteen page entry because I have so much more to talk about , but I will save some for later LOL

BYEEEEEEEEEEEE

I am feeling ya....if you have any kind of documentation on the first agreement with the credit card company get your hands on it....See if there is a way to put in for an appeal on the judgement on the grounds that you thought you had this settled already.  If not when they go to court to garnish you be sure to take the  information with you...there are some credit companies that can make a phone call and get these people to do a write off...depends on how bad of shape you are in.  I am weighing out all my options too...I just got screwed by the justice system..I put in for a garnishment hearing...they don't give me a court date...so me having no idea when to show up waits....I then call and ask what is up??? I was told I would get a court date within 10 days of recieving the request of a hearing...I tell them I know they got the request cause I sent it certified requesting a signature when they got it...they then tell me...they had the court case on the 16th of Jan and I did not show up...WTH...how can i show up to a hearing I have no idea is taking place...so the judge then released the money to them on the 26th....I am so peeved!  They could careless I am paying 800 and some dollars on a pizza...I don't even think I ordered...as my account was closed...I think someone in Marks family has forged one of my checks...it would not be the first time...grrrrr...Hugs and no...I have not found my prince charming...LOL..TerryAnn
