I need PT prayers...

Best of luck to you Donna. You seem to have the worst luck. I agree with others that maybe you can find another roommate so you can stay there. I pray that it will all turn out well for you and the kitties

My prayers go out to you. I had to rehome my cats, and I know how you feel.

Cybersibes,

I just got off the phone with my friend Clare from the Bill Wilson House in Vermont. I explained my situation to her. I told her that I know how busy it gets at the house and how short staffed they are and she agreed. I asked her if she thought Bonnie would allow me to work (volunteer) at the house in exchange for room and board, and allow me to bring my cats (which I know she won't have a problem with since Mollie Rose is a Wilson House cat). She seemed very upbeat about it and to call Bonnie tomorrow. I plan on driving up there next weekend to sit down and talk to Bonnnie in detail and see what, if anything, can be arranged. I absolutely LOVE that house and all the people in it. My needs would not be much as my car will be paid for (FINALLY!!!!) in the next month. I would just need enough for gas (which I'm sure is ALOT cheaper in VT) and cat stuff. I can always get a part-time job at a local store or a BB&B if there is one in that area. Plus I can CERTAINLY use the meetings. I wouldn't be far from my daughter or friends at all, and will surely make new ones. Hmmmm, I wonder if this is my HP's way of telling me that is where I need to be??? Ya think?????

Jen,

My daughter already made it perfectly clear that I couldn't stay with her (even though she has a 2 bedroom apartment). When I wanted to come home from MI the first time I asked and she said no. We didn't speak for a couple of weeks on that one. Nice, huh??

As far as me finding a roommate for this place, the rent is $1200/month and as it is, I don't have a full-time job to take care of my share of it.

I'm sorry I sounded like such a whining baby last night, but this whole thing just hit me like a ton of bricks. See what a good night of NOT sleeping will do????

Thanks everyone for being so supportive. It means so much to me to know that I've got such great friends from all around the globe.

Keep your fingers crossed and those prayers coming.

The Bill Wilson House! How Cool!

Meetings just down the hall! Love it!

GOOD luck on that - sounds like a great new start - and you know how Fellowship folks can help one another out - you never know what the move will hold for you!

Finger crossed, and prayers too!

This sounds very good!!!!!!!!!

As for your daughter...........SHAME on her.

Now to clarify.....If this plan doens't pan out (and I hope it does) my thought was for you to find someone ELSE who is looking for a room mate, and move in with THEM.

Hey Donna, that's wonderful! HP's watching out for you! One of our local "elder statesmen", Mel B. knew Bill & Bob - he spoke at the Wilson house recently. I'd love to go there for a visit myself one day. If you end up there, maybe.....?

Jen,

Yeah, shame on her is right. She said it had to do with my cats. I told her I could work on fostering them out but she was adamant about it. I love my kid, don't get me wrong. But she is a very selfish person. She thinks it's all about her. She can't figure out why I'm in such a panic, afterall, I have 90 days. Doesn't have a problem asking me to drive 40 minutes so I can take her around grocery shopping, clipping her cats nails, etc. As far as finding a roommate to move in with, again there's the issue of my cats AND the fact that I can't find a full-time job. No one is going to want to rent to someone who can't pay their rent.

Cyber-Sibes,

I'm not getting my hopes up. This way I won't be disappointed. It does sound like the perfect solution for everyone involved. Ozzie, Bonnie's husband, passed away last year from cancer so she's been trying to run the house herself along with the volunteers. Her mom, Clare, said she's worn down and with the foliage season coming up, they're gonna be swamped. If I have to move to Vermont, I'd rather move before the first snowfall. I'm driving up there on Friday for the weekend. It'll help me clear my head and figure out what's next, if in fact, they say no. I could really use a meeting right about now. But, I'll just go to bed instead.

My best friend in a round about way offered to let me stay in her daughter's room (her daughter's at college) HOWEVER, I can't bring my cats. That is NOT an option. Wherever I go, my babies go. Just the thought of having to give up my precious kits makes me cry harder.

If I do move up there, absolutely come and visit!!!!

K9Karen,

I won't call my brother. I feel bad enough about everything without him making me feel even worse, and believe me he will.
