Well I may get my chance!

Well I have been job hunting and nothing has come through... until now.  I have finally decided to take a job that pretty much offers me nothing but the ins. does pay for the surgery.    I have to work there for a couple of years since that is what I told my mom I'd do.  She is the asst. mgr of that store...  Heck I'd work for the company for 5-10yrs just to finally get the surgery.  I will have to get the RNY rather than the Sleeve but I am ok with that.  I am going to start my 6mo diet now so when my ins. goes through I can get it done!  YAY... I will know something next week, after my formal, not so formal interview.

I was denied...

Well amongst all my other issues refinancing our cars are out of the question.  We are SO upsidedown on my car I need to pay over $5,000 just to get it even considered for refinancing.  The other car was really close to the banks guidelines but...  we didn't persue (sp) it.  Then I applied for my WL loan and was denied (online).  I think that is due to  a company to help keep identity theft out of your credit.  We had to enroll because our bank leaked our info.  They are paying for it for 2 yrs.  I didn't call them so I figure they couldn't access our credit.  I am not really bummed out yet BUT... As I have said in another blog I am looking to get a job at the local hosp here doing billing.  I found out today that my mom's bestest friend has a neighbor who works at the hosp in the billing dept.  She is going to talk to her for me and I am PRAYING that she can help.  The hosp. ins. does pay for the procedures Lapband and RNY.  Maybe this was 'his' way of telling me that it's not my time for surgery.  Maybe instead of taking out a $20,000 loan I can have ins. pay for it.  I am getting to the point of desperation that I would take the RNY if I had to.  On the other front... Jacob's testing for FSDB is Wed. 6-25 praying for that and then Kalani has testing the next day to see if he needs straight VPK or any other assistance.  Kalani is very street smart but he needs help in his academics.  They are requiring so much of these kids to go into Kindergarten.  I did just get back from the St. Louis trip.  It was fun I learned some things and I think Jacob enjoyed himself.  Their dad was up taking care of the little guy and he seems to be okay with living seperate.  All but being away from little man (my youngest)...  Infact I think he is lying to me about some stuff.  See he lies about little things (sneaking a cig,  text messages, etc...) stupid stuff but there is more.  I am waiting for the shoe to drop~ 

Well onward and upward is that a phrase?  I will post an update periodically.  I miss posting on the boards but...  I really need to vent elsewhere don't want ya'll tired of me whining...
