It has been a very long time since I have posted anything. I no longer have Internet at my home and have to borrow from my neighbor and it is a very unreliable signal. I have to have my computer way up on a few boxes to get a signal and it makes it almost impossible to type anything so I end up on Facebook using just my external mouse or watching Netflix. Right now I am at my Mom's using her Internet so i decided to get everyone up to date. Things have been very tough for us lately with my husband losing his job. He went out to look for a new one right away, but things are very tough around here. We have lost many factories and being in a rural area and not having the blocks and blocks of fast food restaurants and such factory work is really all there is. We ended up having to file for welfare cash assistance. We are a family of 5 and receive only $589 a month. Crazy! My husband was informed that he would have to go on job search for 30 hours a week and he was fine with that. He wanted a job right away. He started to go and they informed him he would be taking GED classes for 6 months before they would let him look for a job. He informed them that we could not live for 6 months on the amount of money they were providing us with. He continued to look on his own. He then found out that on Fridays they didn't go to class or look for work, but watched rented movies. Yup, that is where are tax dollars go. He also felt very uncomfortable with the people he was with. They were drug dealers and criminals. The great news is that he found a new job which he start today. It is kinda far to drive, but he is so happy to be working again.
On another good note our son graduated from both Sun Vo-Tech school and High School. He suffers from a learning disability and he did very good. There were 178 graduating students and he was 101. Not bad. we had a party for him and our youngest daughters 8th birthday. I will post pictures later. Things seem to be looking up. It will take us awhile to get back on our feet, but our son will also be starting work in a week and will be able to help with some bills, so we will survive.
