lately.
lets see this Monday pass hubby lost his job, laid off. But were alright because EI was left open and 1 week ago we got over $2000 back in income tax. so money was put away for 2 months up ahead for bills and rent, oil.
His old EI claim has 1 half check left and then reopens new one soon.
Just too much going on with ex family and hearing through grape vine things I dont need to hear.

ughhhh , I wish once my family would just leave me out of any conversation and them be normal .
So I tried to come on every other day to check in and write something a little.
Hopefully the emotional part of family will pass soon and Ill be back on every day.

Sorry to hear about the layoff. As for the family stuff, you know what they say...."you get to choose your friends but not your family"

I wish mine were all normal too

My thoughts will be with you. I hope he finds a new job quickly.

Sending lots of

and Good Thoughts your way. Hang in there!

**Daisygirl** · 02-10-2008, 07:49 AM

I hope things get better soon.

Just this week each of my daughters has snarled at me "Why can't I have a normal family like everyone else!"

I think "normal" is actually the weird ins and outs of family relationships, these days. I am sorry to hear yours are currently in "outs."

You are in my thoughts.

Sorry about your DH's job. Hope he gets another one real quick.
I tell my family to keep their problems at
their house I have enough of my own.

**nodmicks** · 02-10-2008, 08:45 AM

I'm sorry about the layoff. I hope a new door opens for dh soon!

**Darlene** · 02-10-2008, 08:58 AM

Sorry about your husbands job, glad you saved up a bit to help you weather the storm.
Stay away from that grapevine, toxic stuff and you need positive things in your life not the negative & the drama that goes with it.

thanks everyone. I just cant even read that much lately. The worse is 2 1/2 weeks after getting into trying to lose weight and exercising , everyhting went down hill.
Its so hard because even though I dont talk to my family and live close to them, I still hear things I tell other people I dont care to know about.

Hubbys mother and grandmother doesnt help it eiether. No matter how amy timesI tell them, I dont want to know about them or what they said or did, at least 1 month lately Im hearing it. Their busy bodies and cant seem to get it thorugh their hurting me, which hurst my hubby and kids. I cant function the way I want to. I'm a down to earth to person and most times, I can handle it or tell them almost off. But lately hormones and menopause aint helping.
This weather isnt helping either. I need some R&R somewheres away from here. Im going to have to start a job or volunteer more of my time soon. To help relive stress.
Sorry Im complaining so much. I hate sounding like a broken record.
