    Re: Raindrops keep falling on my head.....

    Glenda, I haven't been logging on very frequently in recent weeks.  I'm sorry to hear that things haven't quite turned a corner for you and your DH.  I just spent a couple days with my sister last week -- she lost her job a year ago and after a frustrating search in her field, decided to try something new.  Unfortunately, it's a commission-based position, and she's still struggling to make a go of it.  Her DH has a job he enjoys, but his salary is not enough for them to survive in the very expensive city they live in.  It's taking a toll on their marriage, not just the bank accounts.  Everyone continues to offer support and encouragement, but it's still hard for her to stay positive.  It seems lame to keep saying "Keep your chin up" when you're in situations like these, but I'm continuing to send good vibes your way.

    Sooner or later (please sooner) crap will stop happening and life will get a whole lot better for us.

     
    This sentence only underlines your tenacity in a terrible situation. It's the tenacity like that which gets people through.  It WILL end. Even though we're just "internet people" to each other, I've always thought you were a damn tough cookie who knew her mind and wasn't afraid to say it - and because of those innate traits, I know you'll pull through this. And like you said, the sooner the better!

    I have also not been very active on the boards recently and I am very saddened to hear that things are not yet doing an up turn for you.

    You can do this, and so can your husband. And I pray that you find something soon.

    Re: Raindrops keep falling on my head.....

    Hmmmm, this must be why employers have always said I have the tenacity of a bull dog.  Guys, my teeth and jaws are getting tired!

    Seriously though, what else can I do?  Just gotta keep doing what I can and get through one day at a time.  My weekend job really helps.....being out and about, talking to people, that keeps me from sinking down into the gloom and doom.

    NV might be looking pretty positive.  I hesitate to get my hopes up even marginally after 10 months without a paycheck.  NH sounds good, but the constant delays....well, this has been in the making since January, so who the heck knows?

    DS had a great interview in Chicago.  He'll be up later today to do a contract job at the mall, so hopefully will get more details from him tonite.

    Still looks like Mother's house will close tomorrow.  After coming down to the wire with the "closing" in May, we're a little hesitant to believe its going to happen.  But, so far, nothing has happened to stop the sale from happening, so please keep your fingers crossed for that.  She's been borrowing against her equity for months to pay her rent and that's got to stop.  her Veterans benefits have been "pending" for something like 16 months now, and that would be an enormous help if that would come through.  They will actually pay her from the day she applied, so she'd have a hefty chunk of change coming, plus all her medical that hasn't been covered by BC and medi-whichever.  She FINALLY broke down and got hearing aids, so she can at least hear what she's been missing. Stick out tongue

    That's about it in my little corner of the world.  Keep those prayers and good thoughts coming please.  Internet or not, ya'll FEEL like extended family and the good thoughts mean so much!

    I know how you feel.  I've been looking for work since October, and lost my income source in January.  I've only been able to pick up temporary work here and there, but I have hope something will come through soon.  Something will come through for you.  We just have to keep sucking it up and things will turn around.  It takes patience for good things sometimes.

    Every time this thread gets bumped I get these butterflies in my stomach thinking "it's happened it's happened, it's got better!"  I keep checking in and keep everything crossed too.... best wishes to you and I mean that with all my heart.

    Re: Raindrops keep falling on my head.....

    Nothing new to report....other than the abcessed tooth I now have.  Dentist in about an hour!  The left side of my face is comical....I look like a chipmunk with a full mouth!

    The GM in NH seems to think that Todd is "destined" to be there.  Todd feels the same way, and I'm beginning to wonder if perhaps that's not why we've been waiting for so danged long.  I love NH....with all it's lakes and natural beauty.  Please before winter though.  I'd enjoy a FEW nice weeks of weather in a new location.

    Mom's house DID sell and closed last Friday.  This is a VERY good thing.

    Youngest DS is up for a couple jobs, one in Chicago, one in Southern Ohio.  Things are less than pleasant living with the sperm donor and his third wife.  He may even be up here by the end of the weekend.

    I'm still working about 25 hours a week, got a buck an hour raise, which is a good thing, and friends are helping out where they can.  Life goes on, and hey, it could be worse.  At least the dogs have finally stopped blowing their coats!
