Wine a Little

My door mat says it all, so beware of the following.

An absent blogger is what I have been. Why? My mind is consumed with only a few items.

Money
Job
Housing
Money

I sit here high atop my pity pot contemplating the life that was dealt. Questioning myself of decisions made or not made. A near panic is arising of the unknown. Trying to formulate a plan B, C and even D, yet nothing comes to together.

I know and remind myself daily...others are in a worse situation...but by God this is my situation and this is the one I am having to deal with. The one that floats above my head as I try to sleep and the one that smacks me across the cheek as I arise to meet the day.

Failure is all consuming and when basic necessities are a struggle the mom failure emotion creeps in.

Something has to give...where is that light at the end of the tunnel?

My boss mentioned again the he is thinking of hiring someone this summer. He just won't commit to a set time.

He will be looking for someone who is intelligent, friendly, has accounting experience, and understands how software works. All assets I know you have. If, god forbid, you are still looking when he starts his search I will let you know and tutor you on what responses you should give when he interviews you, if you're interested that is.

Thanks Dave and yes if I am still jobless I would be interested.

Laura, your pity pot problems are very valid reasons to be consumed with concern. I just joined you in needing a job so that's on my list too. Please don't think of yourself as a failure in any way, especially as a mom. Do you love your kids? Do you do your best as a parent? If you're a failure that means I am too and I just can't go there. I see SO CLEARLY the mistakes I have made but I also know I made them in love.

I hope we both get good jobs that pay us more than we ever imagined and that we LIKE.

Hi Laura: Sorry I haven't been around for awhile, and really sorry you are having a tough go of things - "The Wine" thing is perfect - It's hard not to vent frustration about things that are out of you're control and you can't seem to fix them. I hope that things get better for you soon - BTW I INVENTED WHINING :-}

I'm looking for the light too.

Some days it's hard to have any desire to keep looking.

But, we do. We do it for our children, and for ourselves.

I hope you find yours soon.
