What more can happen?

When I talked to my father tonight he was really down in the dumps. It turns out that the nurse that has been coming in to see him every Monday did not come today. He was kind of upset about it. I told him to call the lady and get it straight. Then he has been raising angel fish and they died on him today. He seems to think that it was some kind of junk in the bottom of the tank. He is going to completely clean it out tomorrow and try again. I hope it works out for him.

Our middle child got good news today. She is going to orientation for her job on Weds. At least then she will have money that she can spend on herself and save for what she wants. Thank God. And hubby has a couple of job interviews back home the Monday after Easter. Maybe with the grace of God everything will work out.

Another day in my life

Dad seemed to be depressed yesterday when I talked to him. He talked to his girl friend and worked things out. It turned out that they both thought that each of them was going to call. Got to give dad credit. At his age of 82 still worring about going out with women. I got my paycheck yesterday and it was just a little over what we needed. So I guess the next couple of weeks will be very slim in our house. That is ok though. As long as we have food, electric, water and a place to live we will make it through. Off of work today, always are on Friday and back on Mon. Hopefully I can get a full week in next week. It would be so nice to get a decent check instead of one that is just enough to pay a bill. Well, I guess I get somethings done til later.

Another Day of just being here

Well it is St Patrick's Day, my mom's favorite day of the year. I can't be happy though. My water is still off til Friday which is payday. But at least the oldest ones girlfriend is helping out with letting them come over to shower. It isn't easy on me to call on people for help. And the kids are so much help. They except the problems as they come and just roll with the punches. And thank God I am working again today and tomorrow.  Dad's bank account is screwed up again. They are saying that he is using his debit card and he is not according to him. I wish I was there to keep it up to date. It is so confusing. Hubby has had a couple of telephone interviews for a job back home. Please God let them work out. If they do he will be leavintg soon and staying with his sister. Hopefully, all be worked out in the end. Keep us in your prayers.

Sometimes I just want to....

Did you ever have a day that started out wrong. That was today. Got up to a broken coffee pot and it raining outside. Then I realized that I am not working today so another day that I don't get a paycheck for. Then go out looking for another job and come to find out that a gentleman that I used to work with has been out of work since 2008 and is still looking for a job. Can it get any worst. I am sure it can I just don't want it to. I am down to my last $20.00 and don't get a check until friday so hopefully we don't need anything else this week. I know the oldest one has gas money so he can go to work. ( Thank God). And I guess I am just frustrated because I used to think that we could do this with some ease. I was wrong again. I just want to get up enough money to pay the bills here to keep the electric on, water on, and a place to stay while looking for a place back home. Please God give me a break. I am begging it.
