Happy Friday everyone! Hope everyone is ready for this holiday weekend here in the USA. Not only is it Memorial Day weekend, it is also Graduation weekend for Rebecca. She had her official last day of school yesterday. Today she had senior breakfast at her elementary school, and then graduation practice. She then spent the day with a couple of her closest friends who are also graduating. The boys still have school next week. Jacob has finals on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Ben has classes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. There is an early release on Thursday for Ben.
I am still over here trying to figure out this whole laid off thing. I haven't had a lot of energy this week. I have caught up on laundry, deep cleaned the bathroom, and paid bills. I also attempted to apply for unemployment earlier this week only to find out that someone tried to use my social security number and birth date to apply for unemployment in February of 2023. Wasn't me. So I had to upload a ton of verification documents to the agency to prove that I am me. Today I got a phone call from the agency and was able to at least start the application process.
I have to decided what I want/ need to do. With the budget cuts projected for the agency I don't want to be in a situation where I will lose my job since the agency might shut down. Do I look for a new full time job now? Do I hold out and stick with Head Start? I don't know. I have a lot of thinking to do.
For now, I am going to put that aside for the weekend. I am going to enjoy being the mom of a graduate. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!
Rebecca is a great artist. She is certainly talented!
ReplyDeleteI just now saw you are finally divorced. I cannot understand why it took so long since I was divorced three weeks after I told husband I wanted a divorce. I really don't know what to suggest for job security.
Have you considered going back to school? I know there was a college here that helped women with any problem they had. I did not go there, but knew it was available. Even the fact you are going to school and trying causes people to help solve your needs. Good luck!
There was a multitude of reasons that the divorce took as long as it did. I won't go into everything as my children read this blog, but I am just glad it is over.
