I decided to start this blog to keep our friends up to date with us. I want to write to everyone to keep in touch, but life gets in the way and it is hard. So last night I
realized that this could work for me. I have a site that I keep for quilting but this site can be just to update our lives with our friends.
School for the kids has only 7 more weeks, so of course everything is happening at once. Allard leaves for Fifth Grade Camp on Monday. He will return on Friday, Lizzy will then receive her Silver award from Girl Scouts that Sunday.
I have
transferred departments at the store, so I now work at the service desk. I was smart enough to see that once all the older cashiers that had been working at the desk would not want
to take a pay cut and would come back on the line, so my hours would be on the late end of the second shift. At least now the latest I will work will be 11:30pm., which is a lot better than 2 or 3 am.
Jeff is still looking for a job. It is very hard to understand that he has not found a job yet. He has his availability and location set to open. You would think that somewhere in the United States there would be a job that he could go to, but no luck yet. He has said recently that he doesn't understand, he has been applying for jobs that are tailor made for him and yet he gets no calls.
Most people don't know that we have had to move, we lost our house. We were one of the many that got hurt because of Jeff's job lost. One thing that puzzled us was that all you hear from the experts says to keep in touch with your mortgage company, well we did and our mortgage company wanted us to pay twice as much each month instead of less. And the new company that bought the house wouldn't even talk to us. They sent a letter to evict us right away.
Well, we will just keep plugging away.
That's all you can do, I have to keep life as normal as possible. I don't want my friends to feel bad for me. We are not the only family that this is happening too, but you can keep us in your prayers.
