I have some good news y'all .

I got called yesterday for a job interview. It's at McDonald's, not my ideal place to work, but I'll take anything at this point. I have to call them back tomorrow and set up an interview time. Hope they don't mind that it took me a couple days to get their message.

Now if I can get this job, somehow get money to keep my phone on and keep gas in my car until then, things might be okay.

I think its better if you don't have to work during college, sorry but good news would have been your mom getting a job. But if your happy about it so am I.

I hope your job doesn't distract you from your studies. I know the job will help with the immediate needs, but please try to focus on the long term goals. I know that is so hard to do when you have so many things on your plate. The better educated you are, the less often you will ever be faced with these situations in the future. Good luck on the job interview!

Does your mom have friends that could visit and perhaps get her out of the house for a while? If they could get her interested in something or if she could look forward to an event of some type, perhaps she'd feel better.

Good luck w/the job, Bri. You're young and can handle a job and school. My son went to college full time and worked 3 part time jobs to pay his tuition so that he wouldn't be saddled w/student loan debt. At that time, my husband and I couldn't help him financially and he said that he's happy that we couldn't b/c it made him stronger. You sound like a tough cookie (in a good way) and I think a new job and your mom getting out of the house w/friends and activities would turn this whole situation around. Keep the faythe.

I know it's tough to go to college and have a job at the same time, but you gotta do what you gotta do... this way I can at least support myself and continue to help my mom and take care of the animals.

My mom does have friends, but she won't ever call them and go do anything. She has one friend who she's known since she loved around here before, and I found her online and they reconnected. I seriously think they need to hang out, but it hasn't happened yet.

Congrats, Bri!! I hope you get it, you really deserve it after all this crap.

And sorry, I didn't mean permanent rehoming, I meant more or less finding a foster home for now but hopefully you're mom won't do anything rash to Brennan.

Going through college with a job is tough, but it really isn't to bad. I'm doing it now. It's alot of work, it does get stressful as hell, and annoying, but it really does teach you ALOT. Good luck!

Roxyluvsme13,

Well, menopause can be tricky. My symptoms lasted over 9 years!!! You guys are so lucky to have each other. I hope it all works out for you.

Cataholic,

Hit a raw nerve, did I????? ARE you a REAL lawyer, or do you just play one????

[Cataholic]

Moosmom, what, you just couldn't deal with the fact that I ignored your "apology", so you want to goad me into getting into it here?

Just go adjust your medication. It makes everyone happier.

Guess, what??? I just did, cuz you responded!! Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I think YOU are the one who needs meds.

A BIGGER person would have accepted my apology and moved on. KMA And don't bother posting again cuz I've blocked your sorry @##.

[caseysmom]
