2013*9*16*MONDAY*EMOM'S MOUNTAIN NEWS Welcome home, dear hearts, welcome home. Get in here and make yourselves to home. Coffee and goodies are hot and ready. Enjoy!

As much as I hate, really hate, to say this, I must say goodbye for the time being. I lost my 'battle' with the USDA... rent has been raised by $100. After receiving this notice, I received one from Social Security dated the 6th saying I had been overpaid more than $5,000 the last two years. Weren't 2011 and 2012 the years that we all received NO increases. I've started the paper work and I've cut back today on everything possible but it is still not enuf to save my house should things turn out badly. Don't panic now like I've done this past week. I DO have a place to go if necessary but it will mean I must leave my Lady of the Mountain and move to another state. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

Ya know, if I had had an extra $5,000 don't you think I would have noticed? Gee, I wouldn't have borrowed the money to put up a fence... nor would I have to have needed monies for the water line just installed a month or so ago. And hand rails for the step/s on the front porch? Just askin'...If it's ok, I'll keep y'all posted with how this works out... Updated info might help someone else who I am sure will end up in the same boat. (A little sympathy wouldn't hurt either! lololol) Ah well, I've already held my very own pity party for me... Pick myself up and off I go again.

I've never learned to stay down when I hit bottom... No way! I always pick myself up/dig myself out and start all over again. You'd think I'd learn... lolol

I've cut way back on my DSL time but I will check my emails and stuff. Take care of yourselves all of mine. You are always in my thoughts...go in safety. Remember to be kind to one another. Sometimes kindness is all we have to give.

Many hugs...much love and daily lafter meems
