I have gone 2 weeks without getting on. <br /><br />Well my latest change is the losing my job about 3 or so weeks ago. One day I'm working away the boss walks in we need to talk, the business is losing money, I'm letting you go now, get your stuff & go. Blew me away. Though some of the girls were acting off the week before, so I'm guessing they knew & couldn't be a true friend & give me a headsup. I'm quite upset. I thought they were my friends, & I loved my job. Now I'm getting unemployment & going though a job center program for displaced workers. I'm taking night courses to learn computer office programs. I only know what I taught myself & thought It'd help in the skills dept of a job search. They will retrain me in any field I choose if I decide what I want to go for. I'm taking the workshops at the job center as well. Overwhelmed in info. It's all good info & lots of resources, but my head is spinning & I'm trying to figure it all out. <br /><br />I really can't remember what was the last news i shared here. I've lost 3 loved ones in 6 months. (my 2 grandfathers & a uncle)<br /><br />The kids are doing well. Andrea is a honor student & won the designing the spirit banner contest. It's hanging up at school. Troy had his 1st communion. They are both doing well. Andrea has faced the teen girl drama on & off this year. Troy has a great bond with his buddies.<br /><br />Back to school is exhausting. I had 1 night between classes & 7 chapters to read & do the homework for. I've gotta do homework with the kids, supper, & get out the door for class.<br /><br />Help everyone here is well.

I hope everyone here is well. I've missed you all. I've been going through alot. I've lost my two grandpa's. They meant the world to me. If you look back I always talked about them. I'd visit the one & run errands on a weekly base. The other lived at the nursing home I work at, (he just died February 17) which has made it really hard to face the little reminders daily. I also lost my step uncle, which was a complete shock. I can't even begin to explain all the ups & downs of the past year. I've said the past two new years I was aiming for going postive not negative. That's what I'm gonna try to do no matter how much keeps piling up. Anyway on the bright side the kids are doing well.<br /><br /> Andrea got star student (A honor roll) this month. She also won the student spirit banner contest, so her little drawing is being made into a big banner to hang at school. She's also got a upcoming music competition Tuesday. Of course as a 13 year old there has been the teen drama.<br /><br /> I'm thankful Troy's a boy & doesn't have the issues the girls have. He has a great bunch of friends & gets along with everyone. Takes the new kid in & makes him apart of the guys. He's got a big heart & helps make people feel a part of group. Troy has a big field trip coming up this week. A environmental learning center for 3 days. I'm a little worried about it. He has been sick the past month, a bad cough, virus of some sort, & a ear infection. He is also doing his 1st communion this month.<br /><br />They keep me busy. If my hands aren't full enough ... my huge family always adds to the drama & stress. My sister just seperated from her husband last Sunday. It's been a long week, trying to support her & the girls through this. The good thing that comes from losing grandpa & her break up is the fueding has stopped & people are trying to reconnect. That should be better & alot less stressful. The holidays had been very hard with the fueds. <br /><br />I hope the rest of the year goes better. Take Care.
