Hello everyone, I decieded to take this blog in a little different direction, I am gonna be a little more positive, but honest, I am having a better day, I am asscoiated with the Salvation Army program, i have an ICM manager. They help where they can, but as u can imagine their demands are high, and can only help so much. It is a good source for resourses, but sometimes I find it hard to be honest with them, cuz I am afraid they will take my kids. Today they sponsered a picnic for their clients and their families. I wasn't gonna go, cuz I cant eat nothing solid, but decieded to go so we could do more than mull around the house. I am glad I went, the kids had fun, and had some cheap prizes, and some clothing donations i got for me and the boys. Plus the kids ate good and for free. I swang hard on the swings and played with the children, we had alot of fun. I am glad I went. I decieded when I awoke this am, that I wanted to take this blog in a different direction. I know I will fight my way out of this little dingy apt. I KNOW I will do more than survive. I want to use this blog to mark my milestones, and perhaps encourage others in simalar situations. So what do I have to share today. I went to that picnic with my head held up, I laughed and played. I had fun. Prior to my dental work being done, I told my ICM worker I didn't want to participate in any activities, since I had no teeth. I would be to embarressed. But I decieded, it made no diffrence what ppl thought of my appearance, and if they judged me, i would only know what kind of ppl they truely are. I know y I have no teeth, and I am confident in my descion to have them removed. I would never be able to hold down a job with the issues I was having. I would be lucky to find a job, if an employer saw those teeth, it would indirectly say "I DON'T CARE ABOUT MYSELF". So the moral of my story is this, dont let things get in ur way, don't get discouraged so easily, If I did that today, I would have missed out on a wonderful oppurtuinity for fun, food and laughter. I definetly made the right choice. So on that note, I will let u all go. I hope that u return soon, to hear me, as I will hear u. Love, Francine and Boys
