Current Mood: & & &

I’ve been sooo busy I don’t know which end of me is up. You’d think that cause I’m stuck home ALL day long with the kids I’d have plenty of time on my hands to do the little things like blog…but trust me…OH TRUST ME….it just isn’t so. This weekend was a bundle of nerves about my appt. yesterday with the DES (Department of Economic Services) for the food stamps thing. I mentioned this a while back that we were planning on applying to try to help us out with stuff here at home. We applied for the heath (ACCESS) card, cash assistance for the utilites and food stamps. We were awarded all three. We got food stamps, secondary health insurance (until Tricare goes away in November then full time health insurance) and Cash assistance of which we are waiting to find out what program we fall under. I was sooo relieved. And you would think this would be the end of my stress right? NOPE….hubby comes home to tell me that the current job he’s working ends…..AUGUST 21st. Then we will be without a job until either he gets on a new project or one of the hundred’s of jobs he’s applied for comes through with a “You got the job” offer. *SIGH* Please please please keep praying for us. It’s lookin pretty dim and looks like we might be seeking the help of a lawyer. My mom is keeping her eyes open at school for a job for me so I can go with her to work everyday. But so far…no luck. She is actually in need of an assistant but the school budget won’t allow her one. *SIGH* So please…even though we did get some good news….we’re still pretty much in a pan on the medium heat setting.

Yikes….I knew this day would come sooner or later. I actually hoped it would have been sooner but it looks like it’s later. Ranna woke up the other morning with some ill feelings in her tummy and rear end. Pain…cramps you could say. So….after a few days of this I’ve come to the conclusion that Ranna is in the first stages of her “cycle” and it will either happen this month or next month….like this is the appitizers before the main course….and wow did that just sound yucky. I feel for her of course cause 1. I’m a woman too and remember being young, in pain and although prepared…scared & 2. her Dad is not being in the least bit compassionate. He sooo is not ready for this. He thinks that things should go on as normal and I keep telling him he needs to be easy on her. I mean this is new for her and for her body. He needs to take it easy on her.
