I did not get the job that kind of sucked .. however it is what it is and I am praying that a new opportunity comes up. I just keep hanging in and trying to let the God of my understanding do what He needs to do. It's sooo not easy at times.
The full moon and the testing I'm experiencing at the moment is a little frustrating to say the least .. so I'm just trying to breathe .. my starter on my car is going out so I will be venturing Youtube videos to figure out how to replace a starter which I guess for anything to go out that is the easiest to replace outside of the battery. I would have rather it been the battery .. lol .. no such luck.
The job situation has taken some wind out of my sails so I'm just trying to adjust my sails. It would be nice if my idiot XAH would pay on a regular basis instead of when he thinks he needs to h's officially two weeks behind in child support. I'm REALLY trying to let it go because come September 19th I'm asking my atty to set a court date. Money is suppose to come out automatically and it's not and that needs to change immediately.
Other than that it's all been a very big learning curve and I am blessed without question so I'm really trying to focus on that part of the deal .. remembering how blessed I am so that I stay in today and not worry about tomorrow. It really is not easy. Every day I am able to feed the kids and we have a safe place to sleep. That is what is most important to me at the moment.
Thanks for being here.
Hugs S :)

Serenity, it does suck that you did not get the job and that the XAH is not playing fair and not sending support when he should. I remember those days of robbing Peter to pay Paul, I know it isn't easy and very worrisome. Praying for you and your kids that your financial situation improves very soon!!

From me too - positive thoughts and continued prayers! I applaud your program efforts to keep the focus on today and what you can do/control!
I'm also impressed that you're going to do your own car work. I'm amazed at how many things are DIY with the help of YouTube....I also like it when smarter folks than I suggest "not to try this yourself"....I love your drive and willingness to work on that fix! You will be successful as you move forward - you've got the drive to make it happen.
Keep trusting HP - love and support from me to you too....

Well .. LOL .. good news and then better news I guess .. my temp agency is really trying to push a few things through for me. So there are more interviews coming. Better news is that I can get my car fixed for just the cost of the part, however that won't happen until Saturday which means any interviews between now and the end of the week could get rough.
My X has decided that this is the week he will withhold money apparently which is SO not ok. That means I have to stop, drop and pray before I contact the NW as she is in charge of the finances and let her know how things should be being paid.
This is not a good time for me to have to deal with this however it is what it is.
Thankfully, I do have my girlfriend around here so I can get to the store and so on .. it's very hard to buy groceries for anything long term considering the fridge is so small and literally only holds so much. So at least we can eat until the next go around.
I may decide to follow through on my plan of installing the part .. I have just been waiting for this money to hit so I could do so.
Hugs S :)

And Betty you are so right I have an interview on Friday at 2:30pm and a ride there will not be a lot of money plus my friends son may take me .. I just prefer to do it on my own at times it's less of a bother in the long run.
Anyway, this is all very good news and as long as I can get the car fixed I will be ok.
Hugs S :)

Serenity I am wishing you nothing but the best possible in everything. I had to laugh at your car situation because mine needed inspecting as of the end of August and I am afraid to take it because who knows how much I will be ripped off. This morning I passed 2 local cops and was sure they would turn around but there must be some grace period. Money is gone and since I don't work through the summer months, I won't get paid until the 15th and that money is already spent. Too bad we don't live near each other we could share expenses! Please know I will be thinking of you!
Great update - so happy for your next interview and even happier that your agency is working fast for you!
Keep the faith and continue your truth - I agree - HP's got ya!
