  • Family troubles


    Ok. I'm not usually one to go asking for help, but if there was ever a time...

    First of all, a praise. My daughter and grand daughter moved here in June, so I have all my kids and grands with me now.

    Now-- I'm not sure where to start so I'll just make a list.

    1) I need a job. Out of work since May and no unemployment.
    2) Daughter needs a job. She still has some money coming in right now, but not really enough.
    3)There is a strong possibility that my son will lose his son (almost 4 y/o), at least for awhile. Fortunately my daughter is here and has the room and willingness to take him. Son has MS, wife is out of the picture, and the situation is bad with no way to currently get him out.

    I feel like we're being tossed bread crumbs, just enough to keep going, but I'd really like a solution. My own prayers are beginning to fray around the edges if that makes any sense.

    4) Just one more thing. I've had DJ staying with me this week, and bless his heart he's been waking me up at 6:30 in the morning. Afternoon preschool doesn't leave time for naps, and he fell asleep around 6:30 this evening. I don't even want to think about what time he'll be awake in the morning.

        I started looking into it, but then the whole son/grandson thing opened up and all I've been able to do is answer ads and fill out apps on line. I have to paperwork all ready to go for a couple of the temp agencies in town. I'll be able to take that in next week when my daughter takes DJ over for the week. I've had some interviews, but I'm "overqualified" and they're looking for some young punk fresh out of college that will work for less.

            A quick update-- we are considering my daughter taking a guardianship for DJ. That will give my son a chance to get him back if he gets things straightened out. And I have an interview tomorrow. It's only part time, but it will be some income, and an opportunity. Wish me luck!!

                        I had an interview yesterday for a full time job. They sent me for the pre-employment drug test, (easy A there ), but haven't told for 100 % sure that I got the job. I'm assuming that they're waiting for the test results but they'll have to call me today or tomorrow if they want me to be in the next training class which starts Monday. So hopefully there's one hurdle leaped. The other biggie--my son has agreed for my daughter to take guardianship of my grandson. Now to find a lawyer. Fortunately my mother "knows people" and has already set wheels in motion.
