Child Support.
Ruben said he will give me his paternal rights! YAY! But wait as my previous post says I am trying to be more financially responsible. Using my fancy finance addition chart (AKA spreadsheet I created in Excel) I have accumulated about $4,000.00 in medical debt from birthing these children and having them in the NICU. Sorry dude all though your sob story about barely affording rent is truly touching, $4,000.00 is a lot to swallow. After all it did take two to tango.
Also I realized I haven't posted any pictures of just my Joshy :):

Blogging doesn't work out for me for the following reasons...
1. I don't know how raw to be- do I want to be Eddie Murphy Raw? or do I want to be Bill Cosby raw? Or do I want to be some fine line right in the middle?
2. I always have a hard time finishing what I start, blame the little ADHD kid inside of me directing me towards something shiny the moment I get committed to a project.
3. Who has time? The boys suck up most of my free time, which I enjoy, but some days I am lucky to find the time to shower. Lately they like to tag team me on their naps, as soon as one conks out and I begin washing bottles or starting the laundry the other one wakes up and asks for my attention. I have also been getting lost in talking to them, Josiah has been talking so much lately but it seems like he is only doing it for me, like it's our little secret! I love it! Joshua has been so much happier lately ESPECIALLY after I started Little Tummy's Mylicon gas drops. He loves his Little Tummy's!... I have also become a little addicted to Lingo on GSN.com.
4. My blog becomes a giant run-on sentence. I pretend to be such a grammar nazi but the truth is I never perfected punctuation.
5. Who is my audience?
So here is an attempt at making myself stick with it.
I have been walking around in a coma for the past three days, although today is the first day that I have started to come out of it. I have been really depressed because my vacation with Shane and the boys was over too quickly and he had to leave too soon.
What was keeping me optimistic was this new job with H-E-B. As lame as it sounds I have always wanted to work at H-E-B, even since I was a little kid. This job would allow me to settle my hospital bills and to start to save to be on my own. I called H-E-B to get the status of my background check and I FAILED. I was completely shocked. The only thing I have on my record is quite a few unpaid traffic violation and one daytime curfew ticket I got when I was 16 and in the parking lot of my high school. THE PARKING LOT! To this day I still try and prove a point by not paying it. I called H-E-B but I only got on the path to resolving it today which is part of the reason I emerged from my Frankenstein-like coma today. It turns out the unpaid traffic tickets turned into warrants. DOH. Now I am on a payment plan and they are no longer warrants. Luckily H-E-B is letting me submit paperwork that I no longer have warrants and if the position is still open I might be considered. Let's all cross our fingers and pray to the grocery gods that I still have that job. I guess this happened for a reason. It lit a fire under my ass to get financially organized. Today I went through all the bills I have copies of (There is way more, I just don't have copies and I need to figure out how to get a hold of my credit report so that I can start the process of rebuilding) and I started a spreadsheet!
Side note: I even called the insurance company to resolve an issue with the boys EMS bill. Turns out they paid Josiah's bill under Joshua's and Joshua's bill never went through because it looked like a double bill for one child. I got it all straightened but I have a feeling that I am going to be doing this a lot because the 150 insurance customer service reps I spoke to today all agreed that this is quite common with twins. Great.
I have been the most financially irresponsible person for most of my life, although now I am trying to change that. I will teach these boys good money handling skills. I will!! Financial responsibility is a skill I wish I would have learned growing up, along with walking in heels and speaking Spanish. I think this is about as much blogging as I can handle at the moment. Plus I think there is something shiny in the kitchen.
