Thread: Just whining before I lose it here....

All of this isn't bad....so I'll get the halfway good out of the way first.

My youngest son has decided he wants to go to public school instead of home schooling. Im scared for him, which is stupid...but I am.

Now...to the other stuff. My temp assignment ended January 2008, they first denied my unemployment for 5 weeks because the company said I didnt call in for another assignment, which I proved was false. Got the UE, plus back pay. It ran out the week of June 20 something. President Bush voted the extension for UI benefits....well, Kansas still isn't distributing them. I've had job interviews, have had to tell them of my physical limitations, of course, then there's been others more qualified. Have another interview tomorrow for a job I REALLY want at www.datacoremarketing.com . So, at the moment FLAT broke. For this week, I have for my family to eat, 1 box (about 24 pks) Ramen noodles, 4 Banquet tv dinners, because of course the SRS office hasnt called back after numerous calls that I am no longer on UI and should now qualify for foodstamps and my disabled husband to be put back on Medicaid.

Got a call from my mom about an hour ago. A pastor whom I lived with for a year or so (with his family) and who was my pastor for about 10 years, had his 2nd heart attack yesterday. They called the family in today. He's only in his early 60's.

Lightning struck my desktop computer last night. Now, am using the laptop from a friend.

Freezer in kitchen (about 20 years old) just started smoking and shooting sparks.

Then some other personal stuff, has me ready to

Thank you both so much for your kindness. It means a lot right now when I feel like Im trying to remain put together.

I'm sorry for all you're going through. Man it seems like life gets harder every day. I hope and I'll pray for you that things will get a whole lot better for you and your family. It really seems like every body I talk to are going through such hard times lately. I wish things would turn around for every body and we can all have some peace in our lives.

I agree, it gets harder for EVERYONE every day. I worry,not just about me, but about others who feel pushed to their limits. Then where do you go?

It is to me. Thank you for understanding about it. I live in Lees Summit MO (a KC Metro suburb), Im afraid of course of the violence in schools (this is snooty upper crust KC), but im worried too about the snooty upper crust part...I cant even hardly afford to live here more, I want him to fit in, Im scared, what if he doesnt make friends. He isn't mentally challenged, but he walks slow and talks slow sometimes....and how will that be dealt with?
