I'm baaaack

We got a call Sunday afternoon while we were sitting in our apartment. He was playing video games with Derrick and I was sitting on the couch watching them. His phone rang and his facial expression turns to dark. It's Pops, "Granny died just a few minutes ago." I hated hearing him say those words. His Granny died, this is the woman who raised him

Glad to hear the whole story from you, you and Tommy were both in my thoughts and prayers this week for sure. But as with most nessesary and unexpected things, the toll it takes is just a part of it.

In a way I am sad that you are finally hitting that brick wall of life that is money, but at the same time I am also proud to see you growing up and dealing with it. Money has been a driving factor in my entire adult life, maybe not the most important factor always, but it does influence so very much. Now you are seeing why I never call in sick at work. Life isn't about what we feel like doing, it's about what we have to do. You had to go and support your husband this week, and how that your back home, you have to work to help pay the bills.

Hugs to you both and let me know if you need anything.

real quick, I took some more of your icons, including that one. We will need something to watch to keep our minds occupied, something, i don't know lets say veronica marsish... j/k

The brick wall that is money is just so big! Sometimes it doesn't seem like there is any way around it, but we have always gotten thru it so far. It's tough, but we know what we have to do. We have begun talking about our options, one being moving to Indiana. Not sure if I told you that yet or not, but we have discussed this. He's certain he can get his old job back that pays nearly $12 an hour and I could get a job somewhere and then start back at school. I don't know, we are just tossing up ideas as to what we think would be best for us. We know that no matter what it's not going to be a free ride or easy for that matter. It's just ideas.
