Wow, there is really a lot going on these days!
My child support case worker has been working her butt off. As you can tell. If you are wondering what the $96,763.45 is. It is the amount of unpaid child support (plus interest) the fabulous lady in my local office got reinstated to my case. Hooray!
I would also like to give a shout out to Illinois Atty General Lisa Madigan for not only taking an interest in my case, but responding with an inquiry to child support enforcement in Illinois, but replying to my letter for help.
Also, this case was reopened NO THANKS to Governor Pat Quinn who can't be bothered to respond to requests from single mothers.
Obviously we are not high up on HIS priority list.
Advice to others seeking some help in Illinois - write to Lisa Madigan and visit your local office every day(if you can) or at least once a week and oversee EVERYTHING! If you become a big enough pain in the ass they will listen and help if just to stop you from stopping in. Hah.
Now for the collection part of our program......stay tuned.

As for Dory......
When I was going through my cancer treatment in 2011, I had a few constants to help me get through the day - my incredible sons, my business partner & great friend Jackie and ELLEN on TV.
So we are sending her (and Portia) our "What's In A Name" wine charms, as well as our F*CK Cancer necklace and a pack of our "Bunch of Bitches" charms. We know that ELLEN is a big supporter of breast cancer awareness and the race to find a cure - hence the necklace. As for the "bitches" -have you seen a few of her guests? JK! Really we just think they are fun and she would get a kick out of them.
Besides that, I think ELLEN and I have a few things in common:
*We are both female.
* We both have short hair (of course hers is blonde and mine is not)
* We both have arms and legs (She is a little taller than me though)
* I am a single mother and she has a mother.
* I think we are both good people.
* ELLEN likes girls (in that way and while I don't) and I do have female friends.
*Oh yea, we are both funny, (at least I think I am)
So if you have a minute, please help us give her a shout out, by forwarding a copy of this to her at
http://www.ellentv.com or give her a Tweet at @TheEllenShow.
Have a great 4th!
