rose.gif Guys, I need your prayers once again! rose.gif

Ok, so I am one my way to drop off the $$ for Ken's room!! I decide to check Craigslist one more time...
Guys, I found an 2 bedroom apartment RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY KIDS SCHOOL, right around the corner from my Dad's house for...$1200 (utilities INCLUUDED)!!!

Guys, it is like G-d sent this just for me!! My biggest struggle is finding a place that I can afford and still keep my kids in a good school district! Unfortunately on LI, where your kids go to school depends on where you live!

Guys, I AM BEGGING YOU PRAY FOR US...PLEASE!!! Instead of Ken moving to a room all by himself 10-15 minutes away...WE could move into our OWN place APRIL 1st!!! And start living as a family!

Please pray that G-d touches the landlord's heart and chooses us to be his new tenants!!! My boys would NOT be uprooted from their current school and we would be able to save for a house and I would be around the corner from my Dad (he's getting older...and you never know)!

Thanks Guys...love you!

Gill, I'm in the same boat a you baby girl. I go to sign my lease next month. For my SANITY I had to get out of that house. The house I was going to purchase the people changed their mind. I'll pray that things work out for you and Ken. I had a bit of a struggle to get my apartment, they were going back and forth on whether they should approve me or not, because I own a house (I didn't understand that). Girl, I just started to cry. Went home got on my knees an prayed. That's all I could do. I have so much going on right now in my life with the K-1 process, finiding a place to live, finding renters, packing, moving, finding a before and after care for my son, getting him registered for school and dealing with my VERY disrepectful EX -- I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. Many times I feel like running away, just to take a break from the stressors in my life, but I sit back and reflect and look at what God has blessed me with.

I'm healthy
I have a healthy and loving son
I can wake up every morning and get out of bed and stand on my 2 feet
I have a great job with excellent benefits (so that I can provide for myself and my son)
I have roof over my head
I have family and friends that love me and want the best for me in life

In a few months or so I'll marry the person I want to share the rest of my life with.

Gill, I as I ask God to order my steps, I ask him to order you steps as well. So, to my VJ sisters

God has a plan for each of us. He wants us to fulfill and he'll provide the STRENGTH we need to carry out his will.

Okay. Now, mi hungri




Lawny, mi woulda tink by now you woulda already eat yu three course breakfast rofl.gif rofl.gif


Claire,

I'm so damn hungry I'm about the ROAST one of the birds that's on the balcony at my job.

Lord, please forgive me for LAUGHING, but this is too funny.

Remember he does not know how to READ and is refusing to learn, but I bet he will now. This morning he went to brush his teeth, called his wife complaining he can't find the tootpaste and where she put it. He gets fustrated and hangs up the phone on her. Goes in the bathroom (Lord please forgive me).....he used her MONISTAT CREAME and brushed his teeth and had a very, very, very bad reaction. The reaction didn't take place until he got to work this morning. He works in the complex he lives in. By the time I got to the hospital and I saw what he looked like and I found out what happened, I could not stop laughing. I mean, I can't even describe what he looks like, but it looked like he was attacked by a 100 bees. Then he gets upset, because his wife and the doctors told him what the creame is used for. So, he's mad at his wife and it's her fault. He's a grown man of 37 years old. He yelling and me and his wife, saying, how you can put something that fi go pon unu P*&$#Y in the bathroom. I asked him where are we suppose to put it. He thought it was travel toothpaste.

laughing.gif rofl.gif laughing.gif

You just had me laughing so hard the people at work are looking at me funny!! My hubby doesn't read that well either - thank God he hasn't done anything like this yet!


Rhonda,

I really didn't want to laugh, but it was just too damn funny. He's still in the hospital. They trying to figure out what was in the cream that caused him to react that way. They won't let him leave until most of sweeling is down. His eyes are still swollen shut.



You know......if he gives her any trouble in the future, she can just slip some into his food!!!!!! Yah, honey, it's just mayonaise!!!!!



JOMO!!!????? (in my most stern questionable voice) you are baaaadd laughing.gif laughing.gif

Honestly, in my area 1 bedroom apartments go for $1500-1700...and 2 bedrooms go for $1900-2100!! So, I am saying this is a MIRACLE!!! Lord, Father please let this be OUR miracle!

ohmy.gif Wow, that's a LOT of money! You can get a 1 bedroom here for $500 - 700!

Good luck getting the apartment good.gif





Us too.....You gotta love the midwest!


$500-$700 is what you pay to rent a ROOM!!!!! NYC and the surrounding suburbs SO DYAM EXPENSIVE!!!!! I'm giving NY 2-3 years and if the housing market and taxes haven't gotten better...We're OUT!!!

Thanks for your well wishes JG & Rhond!!!

TSC must be a lot quicker than NSC because we sent ours in June '07 and we're STILL waiting! mad.gif So, you don't have to have an interview or anything?



We did not have an interview - and from what I see on the "Removing of Conditions" board, not many people do. I don't think there is any rhyme or reason for some of the things they do at USCIS.

We actually have quite a few Jamaican's here in Maine ... if you can beleive it!
A couple nice restaurants as well. I wish I could find a nice Ital place... maybe Louis and I should open one! Hmmmm! biggrin.gif

My dad cooks the best food, when he lived in Maine he had a farm and the migrant workers that were from the Caribbean they would stay with him. Called him the "white Jamaican" LOL ... he used to tell them all to stay away from me... Everyone knew I was "Tom's daughter" and they would run in the other direction! tongue.gif

I would love to come and get some lobster from there and make curry lobster. Yummmmm

We have quite a bit of Italian places, but the caribbean places are either nasty or too far. I hope the one works out.

rose.gif Guys, I need your prayers once again! rose.gif

Ok, so I am one my way to drop off the $$ for Ken's room!! I decide to check Craigslist one more time...
Guys, I found an 2 bedroom apartment RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM MY KIDS SCHOOL, right around the corner from my Dad's house for...$1200 (utilities INCLUUDED)!!!

Guys, it is like G-d sent this just for me!! My biggest struggle is finding a place that I can afford and still keep my kids in a good school district! Unfortunately on LI, where your kids go to school depends on where you live!

Guys, I AM BEGGING YOU PRAY FOR US...PLEASE!!! Instead of Ken moving to a room all by himself 10-15 minutes away...WE could move into our OWN place APRIL 1st!!! And start living as a family!

Please pray that G-d touches the landlord's heart and chooses us to be his new tenants!!! My boys would NOT be uprooted from their current school and we would be able to save for a house and I would be around the corner from my Dad (he's getting older...and you never know)!

Thanks Guys...love you!

Gill, I'm in the same boat a you baby girl. I go to sign my lease next month. For my SANITY I had to get out of that house. The house I was going to purchase the people changed their mind. I'll pray that things work out for you and Ken. I had a bit of a struggle to get my apartment, they were going back and forth on whether they should approve me or not, because I own a house (I didn't understand that). Girl, I just started to cry. Went home got on my knees an prayed. That's all I could do. I have so much going on right now in my life with the K-1 process, finiding a place to live, finding renters, packing, moving, finding a before and after care for my son, getting him registered for school and dealing with my VERY disrepectful EX -- I feel like I'm going to have a nervous breakdown. Many times I feel like running away, just to take a break from the stressors in my life, but I sit back and reflect and look at what God has blessed me with.

I'm healthy
I have a healthy and loving son
I can wake up every morning and get out of bed and stand on my 2 feet
I have a great job with excellent benefits (so that I can provide for myself and my son)
I have roof over my head
I have family and friends that love me and want the best for me in life

In a few months or so I'll marry the person I want to share the rest of my life with.

Gill, I as I ask God to order my steps, I ask him to order you steps as well. So, to my VJ sisters

God has a plan for each of us. He wants us to fulfill and he'll provide the STRENGTH we need to carry out his will.

Okay. Now, mi hungri
