Remember how I asked???

Remember how I asked yesterday, if ANYTHING could get worse?? Yup... it did....

Yesterday morning, CG had a "performance review" at one of his jobs... This "review" led to him getting fired. They claim its because he was hanging out with one of his coworkers (who patrols our community), while he was off duty. Yah ok Whatever!!  It also is because we were "harboring" a homeless person in our home for almost 2 months.. This homeless person, was CG's little sister. Yep, he got fired, for helping family. See what I meant yesterday, by tooo many rules and bs regulations at our home?   She has also been banned from ever coming on the property here. WTF!!    She can't even come here to watch her nieces... So, of course, I called the necessary people, and informed them of Chris' job loss... hoping that helps us financially with our food benefits, and lowers our rent again. 

I didn't find out about him getting fired til last night when he got home from the other job.  Which he injured himself at..twice...   Finally talked him into going to the emergency room last night. The dr possibly thought he broke both his right ring finger, and his left knee. (this is the "good" knee. lol)   This would have put him out of work for who knows how long, and reaaally royally screwed us.  Thankfully, after xrays, no breaks. just lots of bruising. His finger is rapidly turning purple and swelling, so he is supposed to see a regular dr next week to see if it needs to be lanced open to relieve some of the blood swell.


On the upside to yesterday.... I applied for a Thanksgiving project through the blog, Scary Mommy.   Last night, while at the hospital, I received the Email that we were accepted. They are issuing me a gift card to help with food!!    On the application, they wanted a paragraph on why we needed help.. This was before I found out he lost his job. I explained CG works 2 jobs, and we barely make ends meet. We also lost $350 in food benefits when he accepted this 2nd job. I explained, that we eat the same things over and over, and that maybe this won't help with making a family thanksgiving feast, it will DEFINITELY help make my cupboards happy! lol     

Well, off to get some things done before my LilyBean & Baxter meeting this afternoon. :)
