MDJunction to me

TalithaCumi"MDJunction is a wonderful place, full of wonderful people. People that I have learned that I can rely on for anything that I need whenever I need it;
A hug in times of stress.
Prayer in times of crisis
Encouragement in times of doubt.
A laugh in times of sadness.
A smile in times of heartache.
Hope in times of hopelessness.
Assurance in times of fear.
A reminder of the good things in life in times of depression.
And most importantly, love when I need it the most. MDJ has become like a family to me. I have priceless friends that I will hold in my heart and love forever. MDJ is a place of safety, when I know I can be myself and that I am loved. Thank you all SO much, you mean the world to me." (TalithaCumi)

So I jinxed myself with that diary post this morning. Totally jinxed MYSELF.

FML.

Today started early after not getting to sleep until around 6, up at 7. Money issues. So I spent all morning fixing that for the most part, got home and the FREAKING ELECTRIC is off. Yes. They turned it off in this heat.

Craptacular to Craptastic and then on to well... just FML. I can't pay the bill until Thursday, same day the kids start back to school. So what will I do till then? Who effin knows. I have a little battery power left and im jacking the neighbors wifi.

Never jinx yourself. It really really freaking sucks.

I'm sorry Chan! You didn't do this to yourself! This is just the sucky part of life.
I desire to inspire before I expire.

Check with your local churches and such. They don't care what religion, if any, you are. I have had St. Vincent de Paul pay my water bill more than once and there is a place here called Hill Country Ministries that had paid my electric bill before. I don't know about you but the number for resources around in my neck of the woods is 211. Check with your electric company too. Sometimes they have lists of resources too. You gotta have a/c with little ones. Elderly and pets too.

Let us/me know what you find out. The best of luck to you and you did NOT jinx yourself.

Blessings, strength and courage to all.

Yea I have heard of people getting help from the Salvation Army, Good Will, and St. Vince de Paul before for one time payments of bills. Also call health and human services for your county they may have some other ideas. There is a way that this can be solved today without too much work on your part. I had a friend that just had to go in, explain why it wasn't paid and show them the bill and the wrote the check right out to the electric company for her to take right in.

Yea let us know! Good luck, there is a solution!

Call your local welfare office and ask about energy assistance, they may get it turned back on today if they know you have kids.

thanks you guys. I really don't NEED financial assistance, I need a more responsible partner. Its a long story.

I am at my moms with full internet access and air. My kids are with their dad and the wee one is with her grandma. Its actually pretty nice out today, so the animals are ok for now, if it gets hotter the next few days I will take them to my In Laws.
