Thanksgiving plans ruined

....all because of a computer glitche. Oh, the GAP computer system did not take my request for time off that I put in 3 weeks ago. So therefore I have to work this week and for those who did not see my lovely face and shining spirit today at church..achem gag.. I was at work. Yes, 7am busting boxes for the GAP makin' pennies to feed my kids and my habit(dc).

Why? What is the freakin' lesson from this? Don't spend time with your family?

Now I have to plan Thanksgiving dinner for the kids and Brian. Ugh, does anyone know where the nearest soup kitchen is?

hi there

I guess you could say that a little heater can make you feel a little better. I work 6 days a week and at the end of a cold day like today I sit and watch tv with a little heater blasting beside me. Can't say it makes my problems go away, but it warms me up.
I do have a husband that puts up with my selfishness, sitting in my room under a blanket alone with the tv on a Sat night. Well I am a working woman that does justify it don't ya think.

My thanks today are my kids are healthy very healthy thank you Lord for that.

I am not sure why I am even writing this enrty. Maybe because I need to express myself and I want to let it all out. I am not sure how our family has survived these past few months being unemployeed. If you think your life sucks try not having and income and not knowing how you are going to feed your kids tomorrow or put clothes on them or keep them in a warm house. Yes I know everyone had their troubles, but these are mine and I have a right to be upset and fustrated and mad and sad and angry and troubled and hopeless and wondering, and I guess thankful in the end. I am thankful that we are still alive and healthy and somewhat together. I am grateful for all those angels who work for my savior, who pray for my family and give their unconditional love and support to my family. It is mightly hard being on this side of the track, it is easier for me to give then recieve.
I am not a holiday person which makes it 10x worse going through this challenge in our situation. I am too old for this and if it wasn't for my kids I might not be sticking around. So I go on trying to be in the moment for that is all I can do
