Baseball and Fireworks
I thought it would be fun to take the family to a baseball game for the 4th. The Omaha Royals play every year at this time then hold a huge fireworks display. We’ve driving down and sat outside of the stadium and watched the works before, it was pretty lame. I checked and tickets to the game was cheap, so why not? I asked all of the older kids and then purchased tickets (they threw in tickets to another game in August for free). Today I mentioned to Connor that we’d be going to a baseball game tomorrow night and then watching fireworks. You should have seen his face, it’s as if I told him he had to go to the dentist. I asked what was wrong and he said he didn’t like baseball. I admitted neither did I, but baseball games are fun - you get hot dogs and pop (or beer for me!) and have a fun time visiting with your family and THEN after this particular game you get a fireworks show! He still looked at me like I was bringing him for an evening of torture. What is wrong with that boy?

Any suggestions on how to get a student loan these days? This was the plan for Austin, to student loan his way through school. His scholarships and fed aid pays for school but he needs a loan each year for housing. He was declined by every place we applied. I either don’t have enough credit or my credit is bad to co-sign. I checked it too, it’s not too bad, but I do have a couple 30 day lates listed (which comes off next year!). Does that really make me not able to co-sign? That’s silly.
So what is a student to do these days? I know a lot of college students and none of them can seem to get a loan!

I’m having issues with reTodd and support again. I shouldn’t say much on the Internet, but I will say I’ve called a lawyer. I guess I’ll let you know how that goes when it’s over. However many years that may be!
