It has been awhile since I blogged and I have free time now so I figured why not? The economy is shot! My husband had been employed as a maintance technican for five years. Almost to the day of his five year anniversy with the company he was told he would be laid off for six months until November. Well now the company is saying they may not bring everyone back which I did not know at the time, he may have known however. So he is receiving unemployment for right now which runs out in September. We have know idea if he will qualify for an extenstion, but the last time he was unemployed he did not qualify. So that really worries me as well as him I am sure. Then I was told I have to find my own internship by September in order to qualify for graduation and I am stressing over that because I have no idea of how to go about finding an internship. My daughter has had a round of freighting seizures which have also scared her neuroloist so badly that she is being sent to a specialist in Grand Rapids and my son must have surgery in August. It seems too much for one year. On the plus side we got rid of our crappy refridgerator and replaced it with a second hand one that is much better so far. The first one we bought brand new from Lowes when we moved in our house in 2005 and for the past like nine months it has been pooling water in the bottom of the fridge. Which is extremely annoying and messy. Either all our food would freeze solid or it would rot and mold from water damage. We found out when we moved out the old one that it had leaked on our floor within the past couple of days too. Also I got a new computer which I REALLY needed since I am completeing my college degree on Baker online. The old one was not fast enough. Steven cashed in his vacation days two weeks worth after his employer told him he was going to be laid off and he got a lumpsum from that. We still have to pay for a loan that we took out of his 401K though even though he may never work for them again. Which sucks it's $9.00 a week so that's not too bad. I think that is about all that is going on at this point. I applied for a job today. Maybe i'll get it that would be great!!!
