I didn't die LOL

I've just been super busy lately. Doing what? Well....taking care of life. Isn't that what we all are always doing?

My mom left for NC a while ago. She is there indefinitely. And we've been making some changes around here. We had become quite dependent on my mom to do some things around here. The dishes. The laundry. Picking up the living room.

So I've been on a mission to get the house in order. And let me tell ya....its been a LOT of work. We are STILL working on it. But its become habit now to clean and keep the laundry up. We're almost done with the upstairs and then we tackle the unknown...the scary....the basement. Goal is to have it all done and rooms moved by May.

On top of that....I have a new gig. I am a ChaCha guide. What is that? Well you can text any question you might have to 242242...ChaCha.....and it will get answered. Don't believe me? Try it. I have. Anyways I am the person who looks up the answer and sends it to you. One of the people. The many many people. So I've been working hard to earn some money on that.

Ebay is...well...on hold at the moment. Long story and I don't care to share. But I am working towards getting that resolved ASAP.

And the state. The lovely state. I say with sarcasm. They have decided that job hunting wasn't enough for me. I already had to turn in 40 applications a week. Which I did. But if you live in Michigan you know that jobs are VERY hard to come by. And I am having no luck. So the state decides that I need actual work experience. This can come in the form of a) working for free at a place like Goodwill or b) volunteering at some place. Now thats cool. I will not work at Goodwill and if you ever want to know why feel free to ask. But I don't mind volunteering. So I ask the lady how many hours I need....2...3....maybe 4 a week. Nope 14. FOURTEEN hours a week I have to go volunteer.

Yep I am superwoman LOL. I really don't mind it though. I am going to be working with the Rescue Mission. And I believe God is doing this to lead me down the path I've known for a while I was headed towards. I was letting life get in the way and God stopped that.

But here's the sad part. On top of this....I have to try and get registered in school for a minimum of 8 hours a week.

Soooooo in a nutshell....I need to attend 8 hours a week of classes, 14 hours of community service, 40+ hours with ChaCha, however many hours Ebay takes, clean my house, help run a girl scout troop, raise a daughter and still find time for game night, movie night and our sunday day of doing something active.

I can soooo do this. NOT.

Or the alternative is to get to the point where I can purchase medical insurance and don't need it from the state. Which is my goal for the year. Get self reliant. But right now I can't do without the medical. So I must jump through hoops.

I have a meeting tomorrow to plan what I'll be doing as a volunteer. And when. Then I have to go take a 3 hours reading, writing, math test to prove i'm smart enough to work.

Sometimes I hate Michigan.

But I wouldn't leave.

Irony.

Anyways back to life.....

I didn't get a chance to post that Caleb and Christopher are home. They are both doing awesome!!

And I haven't shared photos in a while. I promise to find time to blog here in the near future. I just wanted to let you know I am alive and kicking. And screaming and crying LOL

Oh and a juicy tidbit to make you curious.....

I am planning....God willing.....and short adventure to meet and see a very very special friend of mine. And so far everything is working out. So keep your fingers crossed for me. I will update as soon as I know it won't jinx it. And I'll of course have photos!

For now, its time to shower and go to bed. Gotta start my busy day early tomorrow.

Toodles for now
