It’s driving me absolutely nuts, but we will get through it. Both hubby and I have job interviews tomorrow. Neither is what either of us want, but a job is a job at this point.<<<

Good news, I pray.

Somehow, in the future, you will look back at this and it won’t be nearly as scary as it is today.

Alas, nothing to report. There may be some opennings where I was in May, my husband will not hear anything from where he went until last week.

But I assure you your prayers are greatfully accepted and appreciated.

I know you are correct, but I really thought I was finished with this kind of stuff after dealing with a divorce 20 years ago. My husband and I can deal with it, been there, done that, and have the T-shirts :) Our concern is for our daughter. There is a piercing pain in my chest every time she prefaces a sentence with "When we have some money, do you think we can........."

Thankfully she is a very resilient child and enjoys many of the things I enjoy. While my friend and I were having our interviews today, both of our daughters were here (hubby was home) peeling potatoes and we spent the afternoon making potato pancakes, which we had for dinner after the girls and I got back from the Moose Lodge. I tend bar there on Tuesday afternoon/evenings and it was wonderful having the girls there today because they fed our herd of cats. Usually they are at Girl Scouts so I feed the cats, but they are on Easter break this week and it was truly endearing how both girls were looking forward to taking over that chore today.

My friend Sue isn't big on kitchen stuff and cooking, so Becky always looks forward to coming here because I always have some plan for some kind of a cooking project. I love being in the kitchen and having willing sponges to teach makes it even better.

I had to walk out of the kitchen at one point this afternoon because I didn't want either of the girls to see that I had totally teared up when Becky told me she loves coming here as much as going to her Graw's (her great-grandmother) because she always learns something new. That was a compliment I will hold in my heart forever because I know her great-grandmother and she is an awesome woman.

I can hear the 2 of them giggling downstairs over a show they are watching on animal planet. They've toned down the riotous laughter of earlier because my husband just reminded them both they need to think about sleep because we have a busy day tomorrow. It may be Easter break, but they still have a science fair project they have to work on. Also Jax has been on me to make crepes and Becky said she would like to learn how to make them, so we'll be making crepes. I also have more seed starting pots that need to be filled with potting soil and seeded. And all of that has to be done by 4pm. Then we all have to get cleaned up because we have to drop Becky off at home to go to karate class, Jax is missing it this week because she has softball tryouts, but before he takes her to the tryout hubby has to drop me off at the Moose Lodge because he and I cook there on Wed nights for Bingo. After he finishes with softball he's going to bring Jax to the karate school because she's spending tomorrow night at Becky's and then get back down to me at the Lodge to help finish up in the kitchen.

I keep wondering how I'm going to be able to accomplish all of this kind of silliness if I go back to having a "real" job. LOL!!!!
