gotta go get some things done around here

Awwww don't go But I too have tons of things to do around here too!!!

and get this right before we left I did 2 loads of quick wash only to find out that the dryers heating coil is broken-Ughhhhh Wet wash!!! and so I set the fans up and air dryed all night them so I could pack them up for our trip

 

[ckckc2000]

And on our trip I finally did it!!! It wasn't easy but I did it!!!


I took the credit card and cell phone away from our oldest DS-he's almost 20 and has got to do some things on his own

I did go and buy him a pay as you go phone and the 1st 30 min-but after that he's on his own-amazing how much he doesn't use the phone now

 

[ckckc2000]

and he does have a job and health insurance now so he should be able to handle this-should,I hope he can

 

[ckckc2000]

Now I need to find a Laundrymat around here til DH can get the Dryer fixed on Wed/Thurs I hate not having a dryer

That's a bummer

I know-but it was really hard-harder than I thought it would be-but I'm glad now that I did it

He will be better off in the long run
learning to stand on his own

there is no reason you can't still help him
out ocasionally if he really needs it

but if he never tried than he would never know
how well he can do on his own

and think of it Christmas will be easy
send him more prepaid minutes

Except there is no place to hang a clothes line-we have tons of trees down in a gulley behind the house and the deck is about 3 stories off the ground-I have a clothes line and will try and hook it up across the deck today

Wow. Good for you. He will learn to appreciate the things that you did do for him.

That is what I got for my Mom. A Virginmobile pay as you go. I only wanted her to have it so I can get ahold of her.

And this week Target has the top up cards on sale.

If she used it a lot I would add her to my pay but it would cost me more to do that than what she uses now.

That will make it easy

Great-I hope the sale goes til Friday when he gets paid again-The Goof Ball took his entire 1st check and blew it on video games-Ughhhh!!!!!

 

[kaylajr]

Okay ladies I really have to head out now
I will be back on later

hope to hear some good news
when I get back

 

[ckckc2000]

we got him a Virgin pay as you go too-it's one that flips open sideways so you can text message easier(keyboard built in) so I hope he takes care of it

 

[kaylajr]

[ckckc2000]

I hope so-it's OK to blow the 1st check,lets just hope he doesn't make a bad habit of it

Did you get him a virginmobile phone? If so the cards are two $20 top up cards for $30.00. It is a good deal. It saves you $10.00.

Plus you can alway buy some and send them to him as little gifts. They are good for years. They have an expiration date on the outside.

And you can log into his account online and top it up from there.

So if you need to help you can still do it without sending him cash that he might spend on something else.

It might be hard for him in the beginning but he will learn how to handle things.

You really are doing him a favor for later in life.
