A blur
This picture is how I feel most of the time.

{image}

How did I go from 7-6pm job to being laid off to now going to night class for a degree,
working part time
and doing volunteer work?

*And still try to find interesting topics for the blogg!*

There are days I feel like life is speeding by and Im stuck in the shoulder lane with an overheated radiator. Days where my mind reels at everything thats been happening the last few months. That layoff REALLY set me back in life where it felt like my momentum was totally erased.

Took so much Bayer aspirins that the doctor made me give him my bottle and had me SWITCH to ibuprofen!

I've gotten over the anger part of the layoff... mostly I just have to look at it as " go where the current takes me" viewpoint. Eventually I'll hit land. It not like I want to remain adrift forever. I'll continue to do the "one day at a time" thing so its not as overwhelming. Guess this means ill have to wait alittle longer for that Buick Enclave!

And now ill stop with the metaphors and you can just enjoy the picture!

 I know what your talking about.

The first place I was working that shut down, I was devastated; I was 27, a new mom, and was the sole wage earner. That was the first time for me to ever feel so helpless and lost, esp for having a baby to care for.

Well that time I found another job then 6 yrs later that job shut down to move operations to another country. That time wasn't so devastating, I guess only because of my previous experience.

But then I found myself doing just what you are doing now, I went to school for a degree and was even able to work part time at the school. I remember the emotional and physical craziness of both of those times. But looking back I am very glad about going back to school.

And actually I have to say that having those two experiences have helped me cope with two financial issues that hit me just last November.

I have one more metaphor for you which I am sure you already practice:

"you have to pick and chose your battles" only put your energy in matters you can affect. This one mantra helped me most during this latest of life's challenges.

Be careful of how much Ibuprofen you take too.

I wish you all the best.

Nothing like the resilience of a mom!
