However small it may be, I have seen the silver lining. And not a minute too soon either. Last week I was informed that the reduced-tuition for the kids at daycare was no longer an option. They just couldn't afford to keep them on the rolls. And I had received a letter that same day saying that I was terminated from the Child Care Assistance program. (Talk about a bad day...) And the reasons for this was not complying to procedures. I didn't submit payroll information for a job I haven't worked at for about 3 months and there was a typo for my check from the job that I do still work at.
Anyway, I asked if they could give me until this Friday to figure things out. Last Friday I had finally got a hold of one of the workers and he gave me some information. I was finally, after about an hour of phone calls...yes that was plural...they told me to mail everything in "corrected". I did a return receipt on the mailing and received it back yesterday. I figured I would give them some time to look things over and call them today. And call I did...many times, to no avail.
I finally got a hold of someone around 4 saying that she would do some in-office research and call me back. She never did and it was time to pay the piper, so to speak. (Sorry for all these cheesy analogies.)
So I went to pick up the kids and was going to avoid the matter all together. I got through the doors and the director's door was closed so I assumed she was home...then I saw the assistant sitting in the hallway. Oh crap! She told me she had news for me and I waited in anticipation. Funding went through for Mikey...Praise God!!! Still not sure what's going on with Elijah, because they said they've never seen this happen before...where one kid gets it and the other doesn't. I'm hoping it got lost along the way somewhere because it starts this coming week--and I could really use the extra money right now. If things work out well, I may even be able to go and find a nice little place for me and the boys! :D How excellent would that be?! (I don't want to get ahead of myself though...but it's a thought.) :P
Anyway, I guess there is still some hope left in the system after all!
