Sorry about not posting on my blog lately. Dee and I are doing good. We are both ready for the snow to be gone for good and spring to arrive. I keep myself busy with reading or going over to Dee's mom's house to help her out. I'm still fighting with my social security disability claim. Long story short I'm working with a lawyer who is taking my case to trial. I will be getting the girls this coming weekend for my weekend visitation. I'm excited to see them..
