Month: December 1999

Bought and sent the kids (mostly N) cd’s all throughout the year. Last batch was today, from the Wherehouse.

Also bought the kids a 19 in color tv, a discman for N

Wrote Anthony:

“Hope this note fids you and your family well, and still in the Holiday spirit!”

I told him that we spent Christmas eve with my sister and Christmas day here at home with my stepkids who are visiting. They leave Jan. 1st, and they’ve been here since 12/18.

Sarah had a great Christmas, she was a good girl this year (as every year) so she got some things she really wanted.

I let him know that right now, she’s battling off a cold that is going around this house, she has the sneezes real bad and a stuffy nose. Hopefully the Triaminic she’s taking helps.

She has also been enjoying her 2 week vacation and has been quite busy with my stepkids.

I asked how he liked Sarah’s pics, that I had sent a couple to his other kids as well. I told him I couldn’t believe his oldest daughter was 18 now. I told him that I don’t see them or talk to them, but I do get a card from his ex and them, and that I feel bad for Sarah, but that is the way life goes, so…

I let him know that we were switching health plans and wanted to know if HE was keeping his plan. We had the same plan but have to switch. I told him I needed to know whether I am still able to take her to her doc at his health plan as well as her dentist or if I needed to change.

I told him to take care and have a safe and sane New Years and best of luck to him and his throughout the coming year.

Spring- 1 week- GOT KIDS! 4/3-4/11 also, was overcharged in Airfare. We paid $246. and ex paid $130.

Summer- 5 weeks-GOT KIDS- 7/17-8/21 kids were at her moms first on 7/3 then went back to her mom’s on 8/21. We were also being overcharged for airfare. She told Keith his share was $215 while she was planning on paying $116. Keith told me to buy both and we will deal with the fallout later. I bought both, and WHOO LORDY, was EX pissed. https://mspisceangal2020.wordpress.com/1999/06/07/june-7-1999-phone-call/

Winter Break- 2 weeks-GOT KIDS! 12/18-1/1

Not sure why we are paying reimbursements when Keith is SUPPOSED to be getting $100 towards his share of medical expenses. The $100 is from the child care expense J gets and the kids haven’t been going to day care. I’ll have to look at the figures again.

ANYWAY, received EOB’s from insurance where Copays equaled a total of $22.50, so I sent J a check for $11.25 on 12/22/99 at 11:37am. Enclosed/included two checks from our insurance made out to L in the amount of $220 and $37.50.

Beauty Tips

by Audrey Hepburn

The following was written by Audrey Hepburn
who was asked to share beauty tips.

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his or her fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone.

People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed; never throw out anyone.

Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you’ll find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself, the other for helping others.

The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides.

The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mode, but the true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives the passion that she shows.

The beauty of a woman grows with the passing years.

If you share this with another woman, something good will happen — you will boost another woman’s self esteem, and she will know that you care about her.
