Things Are Looking Up!

Well, finally I have a happy post!! About a week shy of being laid off for 6 months, Alex has a job!! There are no words for the huge relief we feel! I have no idea how we made it 6 months and still have a roof over our heads, and didn’t starve LOL….ok, yeah, actually I do, because this is far from the first time we’ve been through this and we knew from experience how to handle things. Now I hope we never have to go through that again! Seriously, it’s not fair for someone to have to go through that crap over and over, I understand some people just don’t do anything to try to improve their situation, but we did, luck just was not on our side as usual LOL.

Ok, so the bad part….he is now in Brampton, Ontario for training :(, for the next six weeks he will be in Brampton during the week, then home Friday night and fly back out Sunday. In the 17 1/2 years we have been together we have only been apart once, and that was for almost a month while he was away on job training :(. I hate not having him around, and of course so do the kids. At least he gets to come home for Friday night and Saturday night, so we get to see him between each work week. It will still be a hard 6 weeks though! Thank goodness his mom and dad are here for the summer, they live less than 5 minutes away and will be over a lot, that will help the time pass a little faster.

So we’ll see, maybe I will have a chance to blog a bit more, I think now it’s more of a matter of whether or not I can get back into it! LOL

Oh, and guess what I’m listening to right now? My new iPod Nano 8GB that I won entering contests!! Cool win huh? I could never afford one of these things!
