Homeless in Marksville Day 6 July 11 2016
Today we were able to sleep in a bit, cleaned the room, and then rested in our room. Deanna's lawyer came to see her. Deanna's attitude is getting to extremes. She hurts her sister and calls me all sorts of names with swear words just spewing out of her mouth. Very unlady like and we hope she can get some help soon.
Samantha and Lilly came to check on us and take us shopping. We have a busy day tomorrow with appointments and doing laundry as well as the kids seeing Dennis. Dorothy can't wait to see Dennis and Deanna is just her plain old mean self. I hope she is in better spirits tomorrow.
Dorothy started to cry saying she wanted to go home and I told her for now this is home but soon enough we will again have our place to live with our own things.
I pray that whatever has gotten into her leaves her soon. Nights here are something. Tonight we have a guy who punched his girlfriend and has a knife that he is trying to get into their room with. On top of that all you can smell coming in our bathroom window is marijuana smoke.
I just try to keep the kids inside so that they don't get hurt. There is always something going on here. I was able to set up bus transportation for Dorothy for school.
The police and owner showed up and the couple had an excuse for everything so the police left and said there was nothing they could do about the marijuana as long as they were in there room doing it.
At this time I just hope they are quite so we can get some sleep,we have a busy day ahead of us tomorrow.

Anti-Burst Yoga Fitness Ball
Love balls like this for their strength and of course the Anti Burst. I have one that I have had over a year. It takes what I dish out on top of the kids playing with it, being taken from one room to the other as well as up and down the stairs. I haven't even had to add more air to it.
With this ball from iTechor you get a foot pump which makes it super easy to blow the ball up. With others I was given a hand pump which works just takes more time to get the ball up and rolling.
This ball is great for exercise, yoga, after pregnancy, and of course for kids to play with. My ball gets exercise/yoga, and play from the kids an even 50/50.
The iTechor Anti-Burst Ball can be found on Amazon.

About the Book
Ex-professional baseball player Jake Longly adamantly refuses to work for his father, wanting no part of Ray’s PI world. He prefers to hang out at his beachfront bar and chase bikinis along the sugary beaches of Gulf Shores, Alabama. But Ray could be persuasive, so Jake finds himself staking out the home of wealthy Barbara Plummer, a suspected adulteress. The mission seems simple enough—hang around, take a few pictures, sip a little bourbon. Except Barbara gets herself murdered right under Jake’s nose.
When Jake launches into an investigation of his target’s homicide, he quickly runs afoul of Ukrainian mobster Victor Borkov. Aided by his new girlfriend Nicole Jemison and Tommy “Pancake” Jeffers, his behemoth employee with crazy computer skills, Jake tries to peel away the layers of the crime. The deeper the intrepid trio delves, the more murders start to pile up, leading them to Borkov’s massive yacht—where they just might be deep-sixed.

My Thoughts:
I just finished reading the appropriately titled book Deep Six by the award-winning author D. P. Lyle. This action packed read has it all; murder, revenge, sex, money, and power. This cleverly written story contains a plethora of interesting and realistic characters that kept me turning pages long into the night. A story with unexpected edge of your seat experiences about the womanizing hard drinking son of a popular private investigator. When Jake has been agreed to keep an eye on one of his father's female accounts little did he know that he would soon be exposed to the violent underworld of Ukrainian Mobsters.The author is a suspenseful storyteller with a great writing style that caught me off guard and frequently surprised me with twists in the characters actions and plot. I enjoyed the who done it tension that was incorporated into the story as the, at times, cast of dark actors pursued money, control, and power. Excellent descriptive writing that brings authenticity to this entertaining read. While reading this story, I couldn't help but think this could be a good movie. I am looking forward to more great stories from this talented author.

Homeless in Marksville Day 5
Homeless in Marksville Day 5 July 10 2016
I talked to the owner and as long as they confirm the bill will be in my name and not be billed to the motel we are cleared for getting internet which I am so excited about as well as my children and the children of the lady who helped us out when we got here.
I have found that for the most part everyone looks out for each other with some squabbles but when it comes to the kids everyone takes care of each other which I am glad to see.
From what I understand every room here except for one has a homeless family or person in it. That is really sad if you ask me and confirmation that the economy is not better at all. The rooms are still being renovated so I still have faith we can get more comfortable beds as well as chairs for our room.
The internet will just make it easier for me to keep the girls busy between the shows they like to watch and the websites they can go to play games as they are not supposed to be outside at all to play.
Children need to play so I will be bringing this up to my case worker to see if there is a more kid friendly place to stay. Most of the families here have kids and they want to play not be cooped up inside a room for months or in some cases years at a time.
The kids have been communicating with each other through walkie talkies through out the motel, if and when our internet is on I will be ordering a set for my girls so they can converse with the friends they made here as well.
My back is feeling better not a 100% but getting better none the less. I am hoping in a few days I can at least stand and walk straight which will help alot. I feel like the hunchback of notre dame.
I started a book yesterday, finished it this morning, read another whole book, now I am on my third book here. I am running out of kindle books that are downloaded on my iPad so I hope to be near or get internet soon.
I am off for the night to read, get the kids ready for bed, and maybe catch something on TV. Last night we watched Grown Ups 2 well at least I did the girls were having a tickle fest while talking on the phone with their friends.
Remember always pay it forward you have no idea how much it can make a difference.

The Cat Master
If your cats are anything like mine as soon as they use the bathroom they want to hop on you and take a snooze but not before they get little cat little chunks all the way from the litter box to you, and on you.
With a mat like this the cat litter stays by the cat litter box not on the floor or your furniture. I love that this is paw shaped very cute.
The mat is available in three colors so you can match your decor. To clean we just take it outside and give a few wacks and the litter falls out and it is ready to be put back for more use.
