The past few months I have been on an insane roller coaster. Obviously the biggest up was meeting the most amazing guy (yes, we are still together and things are still going really well), the low point is I am getting laid off at the end of next week. Which means I lose my health insurance! I started stressing about it, let me tell you that started causing issues! I went for an outing last weekend (10 mile run/walk) and due to vehicle issues my sister could not pick me up so Mr. Man did. Knowing he was there waiting for me put this whole mess into prospective. I have an amazing support group in my life. I will have to rely on the VA to take care of my body, the state to take care of my children’s bodies but my spirit is being taken care of a very large very strong group. I realize there is nothing I can do to change the situation I am in (besides continuing to search for jobs) and I have to hand it all over to Him and see what my next path is. Until then, I just have to hold on for dear life!Silly

SammieGirl.....am so happy that you are with your man still....but sorry to hear about you getting laid off. It does sound like you have some excellent support besides here. I feel there is a reason for everything....and I will keep you in my prayers that a wonderful job is waiting for you.
