Ups & Downs

Hi Ladies~

Just popping in to say hello and that I hope things are going well for everyone. Cat, I am so sorry to read about Amy. You, ~S~ and the family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Pam, I am sorry that you, too, have lost someone so near & dear to you. Laurie & Sheila, I hope you are both feeling better. And Sadie, congrats on the new boobs. ;o) I'm sure I've missed other news; please forgive me if I have.

There have been many ups & downs for me lately. UP: I passed my teaching exam for the state of CT. DOWN: although stbx finally applied for financing, the third house I was interested in went under deposit while I was waiting and I lost it. UP: Rose made sure I had a lovely birthday (it was Saturday)...she took me out for dinner, gave me some beautiful blue topaz earrings to match the necklace she gave me last year, and since my kids are in FL, I got to spend the day, night & next day with her. That was awesome! DOWN: home prices, mortgage rates (and the lack of a verifiable income right now) make it look like it's going to be close to impossible for me to afford to stay in my town. If I move, it means my kids will have to leave their school, friends, etc. That will devastate them. UP: My mom called today and is going to try to help out financially so that I might be able to stay in my town after all. (crossing my fingers) Another UP: the local towns are finally starting to post teaching jobs which will be open for this fall, so now I can apply and hopefully get a job secured for the next school year.

You can see why I feel like a yo-yo lately! ;o)

Take care all!

Jules
