Hello Friends

I don't know that anyone will read this, because I have been absent for so long now.

But, y'all.

You have no idea the things that have been going on in my little world. No. idea.

for starters,

• I have been throwing my husband into the fire. The fire of a world I like to call....SURVIVAL. I have held off on cooking dinner once or twice a week. When he finally gets hungry enough, he has been cooking. Granted, it has been burgers. Previously shaped and individually packaged burgers. But it's progress. Unbeknownst to him, I'm trying to prpare him for the nights when I may not have time to cook for him or the kids- because I may be up to my neck in homework, or involved with a study group, or who knows what. I like to prepare. I'm a preparer. SpaceBalls would tell me to just go. But I can't hit ludicrous speed without preparing.
• oh, the job hunt. It is a long, harsh road. Applications. Resumes. I hadn't done a resume since 1999. cover letter-schmother letter. That's all I've got to say about that. How about, I'm awesome. You need me. I need you. Let's talk.
• Long story short. I need a CNA position. You have to take a course to become a CNA. The course costs 500 dollars. Somehow, the people that run Nurse Aide Training of Austin have offered to sponsor me, and I get to take the course for free. I start next Monday.
• Remember the program that I have been trying to get into that pays for school and books and uniforms and stethoscopes and child care and so much more if/and/when/ needed? They have decided to enroll me for the fall. The director sat down with me and told me that they were not funding Williamson County (where I live in Round Rock), only Travis County (in Austin).....But,

they were making an exception for me. I was told that if I talked with other people in my area to make it very clear that they did not have funding for Williamson County. they were making an exception for me.

May I just say, God is good.

All the time.
