Ugh already!

I haven't been blogging lately. It's been a month now that Eric lost his job and it's SO all-consuming. I feel like such a downer since it's really the only thing to blog about as it's the only thing we can seem to think about and focus on. It's been so long that I feel I'm a broken record blogging about it so that's why I haven't been blogging much. There is really no news to speak of. He is still talking off and on with a company that seems like they are going to offer him a job but we don't really know much about it yet. His current job stinks although I feel bad saying that since we really are thankful he has it especially since we found out he was denied unemployment. So, he will get his first paycheck in OVER A MONTH on Monday. Yippee, we will (hopefully) be able to pay the mortgage. Like I said, I feel like such a downer and can't really blog anything upbeat for the time being so you probably won't hear much more from me until I have something worthwhile to share.
Having said all of that we are doing better since he did start his job although the hours are SO long. We had two really unspeakable weeks followed by two really bad weeks and now I'm hoping we can have a couple of bad weeks followed by a not so bad couple of weeks. Eventually things will work out and be the way they are supposed to and we will have learned a lot. This has been a huge wake up call to us in a lot of ways and I'm really thankful for that. It's just been much harder on all of us than I imagined.
Thanks to all of you who have been so supportive and called to take my mind off of it all. It has also helped to get out of the house a little and also to start focusing on taking some classes at BTC in winter. I am actually really excited for that. It's been a little strange to go into the school and talk with an advisor and research the program. I feel a little old for it all but I'm so excited to do something for myself.
