an old lady friend of mine who use to help me with my son when me and my husband were estranged and I was still in school, called me out the blue yesterday and is having a rough time herself in Atlanta, which is suppose to be the hotbed of jobs...if she could have found a job in my town she'd have moved in with me! That lady helped me out a lot and I feel like that's part of my problem here, all my old willing help moved away...she moved because her daughters finished high school and went to college...she gave up her future so to speak by not going to college and seeing them through.
So I told her what has happened to me and what i'm doing about it and said she should come and do the nursing program with me, maybe she can do night classes and i can do days and if I provide a place to stay (the 2 bedroom family apartments) she can help me out with childcare because that is the biggest problem and bill I have right now, I can't even afford childcare to go on interviews or the first 2 weeks of a job at this point...
She took down the name and website of the university and is going to look into it and should let me know something today.
I hope that works out because that was totally unexpected (and might be an answer to Rapunzil's suggestion of someone to drive up with me!). She is working but they closed down whatever dept. she was working in and shifted her to another department (which I assume is paying a whole lot less cause she said she is staying with someone, a couple, and feels frustrated that she can't seem to get on her feet).
Maybe God is answering prayer, or maybe I'm the answer to hers, who knows. All I know is I hope she comes cause that will help us both, and now her daughters are grown she can go get an education that in just 2 years will give her a standard of life and stability and we can give each other emotional and literal support. Plus then I could split the cost of the truck in half and it would work out cheaper even if i get a bigger truck to fit her belongings.
It's funny even in my dire situation I am still able to help others figure out theirs...goes to show as always there is always someone else out there feeling the same things you're feeling, no one's alone in struggling in these tough times.
It's her potty training advice that she gave with my son that I am using now to potty train my daughter...and it's working too...lol.
I just hope she will move on applying and getting her high school transcripts sent...
This thread is going to be a nice souvenir when all this is over with...
