Well, Jeremy's job great as it was is now over. The VA Hospital was set to be his next site and that got pushed back to November and the other job sites they had are all at Boeing. So, with Boeing on strike there is no work for him. The company he was working for really liked him and his work and they were really unhappy about letting him go. So, now we are down to just my income which totally sucks but we will get by. We have been through worse. I don't think I will see any child support from the ex during the strike either seeing as he works at Boeing. Really Boeing machinists have hit me with a double whammy. We were so close to being all caught up on our bills too. Now we will get behind again.
On the bright side though I love my job and I am doing well. people seem quite happy with my work. We were able to take care of back to school stuff for the kids and hey we still have the food bank for groceries. I have two new tops, a cardigan, a couple good pairs of shoes and a three dollar pair of Capri's for work so I can wait for anything else new.
New blouse Capri's and shoes

I have the sweet schedule for work so far. I seem to be getting a long shift on Sunday usually 12-8:30 then 7-3 on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday. Wednesday and Saturday off. This week Thursday and Friday is the beginning of the 6-2 shift. I guess corporate wanted to make it start at 4am but our manager wasn't having that. 6-2 is great for me. I wake the kids before I leave and am home when they get home from school to make sure homework and chores get done. I think this is the best schedule I have ever had in retail. Of coarse I realize that it is subject to change since it is retail. So far so good though. I love the people I am working with they are a great bunch of people.
This has become a great outlet for what Melaina likes to tease is my OCD. Ok I have never been diagnosed with obsessive compulsive disorder but Melaina swears I have it. Just because the towels must be folded a certain way and stacked by color in the closet. Or the fact that I have my shirts hanging in my closet in order of sleeve length, color and if they have a collar or not. It just makes it easier to find what you want if you know it goes tanks, sleeveless, sleeveless with a collar, short sleeve, short sleeve with a collar, long sleeve long sleeve with a collar and all are in color order in each group. Anyway I get to do that kind of thing at work all the time and it makes me happy and it keeps me from excessively organizing the kids things. Jeremy would throw a fit if I ever got my hands on the movies again. He has them in some kind of weird order that makes sense to only him. I once organized them in alphabetical order by genera. He was not pleased.
So, some not so good, some good. Sometimes
Life is...
