That point in time...

You know there is a point in time in everyone's life when you realize that no matter what you are going through, someone has it a lot worse.

Yesterday evening I was sitting in the truck waiting for my husband to get off work and there were these two young men that were trying to hitchhike going east.  I figured they didn't have any money and I had what was left of Robert's and my lunch from Chester's Chicken.  I hollered at them and asked if they were hungry and they both said YES!  so i gave them our lunch.  I also, told them that right now DOT is doing their 72 hour inspection for the Truck Drivers and that they would not find a ride with Truck Drivers right now.  I also, told them that Colorado is one of the worse states to hitchhike in because it was illegal here.  It felt good to help someone else out.  All I asked of them is that when they got to wherever they were going that they Pay if Forward.  Watching and talking to them made me thankful for everything I have and not worry about what I have lost.

On to other news....

The other night a old friend Joe Mallard called me and offered his basement for us to live.  he only asked that we help out with utilities.  That is better than the Motel we are living in where we would be spending over $2000 a month.  So on Saturday we are moving up to Gilcrest, CO.  Robert will continue to work at Love's in Bennett until they can transfer him up to Hudson.  We are still keeping the Cattle ranch dream alive and I am looking for somewhere we can keep our horses up near Greeley.

So next time you think your life is horrible and that you don't think you can handle it just remember that there is someone out there who has it a lot worse than you and that whatever you are going through gives you the opportunity to rise above whatever it is and take that chance.  I hope someone is out there reading me.  I look forward to comments...  

Living Homeless. Dealing scam artists.

Well the move is over and we are living in a motel room. I put an ad on Craig's List for a family needing to find a place to live. All I have been getting back are scams. Why would someone prey on a family or an individual that are down on their luck. That I just shows me how cruel people can be. I am losing my faith in the human race. I am on the verge of a nervous breakdown.  We are having to hide some of our animals so we don't lose the motel room we are staying in. Right now we are in a one bed motel room our kids are staying at a friends house. I don't know what to do. I know that if I was in a better place I would help a family that was in the position we are in. I set up a Gofundme.com account to try and raise money and even that is falling on deaf ears and blind eyes.
