SPRING

Spring is in the air:

My Husband

Jim and I will be married for 5 years this July and we have been together longer that that. But, sometimes when you think you have seen it all he comes around and surprises you and does something you never expected.

Yesterday, I had to take care of some things for the City we live in and was gone for about 2 and 1/2 hours. When I got home he asked me if he was doing something right on American Greeting Cards site.

I with a look of surprise looked at him and told him I canceled that membership. Yet after briefly looking at what he was up to I said don't worry send what you need to send. (know that he was sending a card to my Mom). (a little about Jim he is sweet and romantic sometimes forgets that wooing me is still a good thing and need to be reminded at times) Here was my husband doing something that touched my heart more than words could say. I did not read what he wrote her until much later that night when I looked at our inbox. After reading what he wrote I was touched because sometimes he has a hard time writing how he feels. So In honor my husband today is his day. Because of him I am a better person.

 

I love you Jim

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS

MN child support (Anoka county). Everyone I talk to tells me how they get raked over the coals by Anoka county and the amount of child support they take out of their paychecks and how if they are late with payment or behind how they are in court explaining themselves.

Here is a brief history with my case, it took Anoka county just under a year to get my case up and running and that happened only because I called on of the county commissioners and said what does none need to do to to get the ball rolling for my childsupport case to ordered(no order no help).

Now, just about a year ago Anoka count and myself took biological father to court for contempt of none payment. This process took almost a year due to the fact that if the Biological father is receiving County assistance ther State will not hold them in contempt.(NO, if he gets assistance the child does not. Only him. I could apply for assistance but I make to much $ therefore she would be denied. I asked my worker ' if I quit my job then she could get assistance' 'yep' to me that was BS.

Ok, back to what I was getting at in June of 2006 at the contempt hearing we agree on an amount (not a modification) that would keep him out of jail. After 6months of payment and him not fully completing what was ordered by the court Anoka county said they were dropping the contempt charge. I called and tried to argue and all they said was he did pay. I told my case worker I will be calling you in 3 months. Why, you ask because his last payment was on November 22, 2006.

So, in February I proceed to call Anoka County case worker. Explained to her my words TOLD YOU SO. When can we refile contempt. She told me that they are only allowed 3 cases a month and I would be added to the long list and if he makes any payment we start over. Well guess what I got a payment of $13.74.

Therefore I will now have to wait 3 more months. While he does whatever he want. And he wants to be cool father but does not believe in responsibility.

THIS IS MY OPINION.

Homework

We have just recently purchased our computer and became apart of the 2100 century. We have been using it to help my daughter with her homework project for school. She gave us a subject that we needed information on so we decided to do a search.(VOYAGERS IN MN HISTORY). The good parent that I am, I say 'they are about the same as explorers.' After around an hour of searches I come across the MN History Society site. There are links to every thing here I find a home work help link. Now I feel great. So, we proceed to enter out question in the box and hit enter. I now am asked am I prepared to PAY for the answer. (WHAT)The good mom that I am looks at it and say 'what is this going to cost me.' ($30.00) Forget this I am going to keep searching because that is not happening. We debate a little about the words meaning and So what do I do I look up the definition of the word. She meant(VOYAGEUR). OK, now we are getting some where. Now we did learn that Voyager is someone who travels a long distance where Voyageur is a Fur Trader.
I am not smarter than a 6Th grader. But my Internet is.....

My son

My son has been getting rides on a 4wheeler and learning a little about them I thought would share he is riding with my girlfriend stepson:

Now note he does have a helmet on and goggles.

This is for my mom don't worry he is in good hand. But now there is talk about a dirt bike in the future. We are looking for a differant helmet other than his bike one.
