Mojo needed here.

Shawn went to a job fair today, for Comcast (cable company), he had submitted an application previously. They want him to come back on Friday for skill testing. Hopefully, it works out because it would be a much better situation all around...

I am waiting for foster care to clear us. If they deny us, I can't get a daycare license either. LOL. Talk about stress. Good thing we only have one kid that won't be in school, because if I have to work outside the house, I will have to pay for child care.

Unless Shawn gets this job, then I can just keep on doing what I am doing.

It is ridiculous, that they are making me wait. The girl who is working on our foster care stuff is on vacation until Tuesday.

Of course she is.

And what is with Chrysler calling me and telling me they are going to repo my car. Dude. I am barely 30 days past due. No chance at this point that I can't afford the payment. I have been making the payment (although, late..) for 3 effing years. And now, I might not be able to afford it? After I just lowered our other obligations by almost $700?? Idiots. Does it not occur to them, that they would still be after me to make the payments only I wouldn't have the car? What can I afford less than making my car payment? Making a payment for no car. Yeah, try to get that payment out of me.

Did you ever have that peace inside that it will all work out??

Ever since we moved I have finally started to feel like I am getting to that place. Perhaps this feeling is only short lived. Regardless, I will enjoy it. One more month of being behind on our bills and then, I should be mostly caught up with a lot of them. Around the same time, we should be getting our insurance back, and school will be started again.

I remember when it was just me and Emerald. I would sleep a lot, and play with her. I really didn't have many hobbies, and we had no money, so we couldn't do anything. Now, because of the internet, I have lots of hobbies, and I don't sleep nearly as much. In fact, the internet seems to be one of my hobbies. My only escape from the kids.... and Shawn.

I just thought of something, there are some roller skating rinks that let you bring in strollers and do mommy skates. Maybe I can start doing that. That could be fun.

My point is, I can't tell at this point, if how life has changed, is a good thing. It sure is different. Life then, I could only focus on a couple things. I could only buy crafts that I found in the local store or in a random catalog. Now, you can find virtually everything online. You are connected to many, many people. Life can be even more cluttered and less simple. Even though it would seem at first that the internet and computers would make things more simple and less cluttered.

Anyway, none of this post makes sense. LOL, and it is OK, well ok for me. Not OK, for someone bored by my inane ramblings!!

Changed the scenery...

3 of my 4 kids are going to be in school in two weeks. Crazy. Just me and Eliza at home all day. It will be great, I think.

I have all these ideas on what I can get done, hopefully, I can follow through with my ideas. I have lots of stuff I want to make for christmas gifts. I have all this fabric... I want to make some purses, I want to make diapers. I want to get everything painted here. I want to try my hand at chain maille jewelry...

I have been trying to get everything I have to get done, done. Moving into a smaller place has been trying. Just getting along with my husband is trying. I have foster care paperwork, adoption paperwork, daycare paperwork. Plus, getting the headstart stuff done for the kids to go there.

I didn't get into the nursing program. I was expecting to. I should have gotten in. I will be reapplying in December, will find out in February if I get to start in April. Hopefully, I can. At the same time, I will be applying at another school, so I have another chance at getting in somewhere else. There are a few schools I could go to, but I am going to have to figure out their pre-requisite courses, they all have their own.

I feel like such a loser because I didn't get in. One of my friends said something like... I am so disappointed you didn't get in. I actually heard, "I am so disappointed in you, that you didn't get in." Oh well, there is nothing I can do, except work to get in this next time.

I have been so out of touch lately. Life with 4 kids, is a lot busier than life with only the 2 I had living with me just 3 years ago.
