It does *sigh* Downside to having been a SAHM for so many years is that I had no way to fight him when it came to custody - no money for lawyer.

That's a whole other topic for a whole other forum though...

I'm waiting for a call any day now from Kroger about a specific position within. While frustrated waiting for the call, I applied at WalMart, Target, Publix, etc - just willing to take anything for now. None of them have called me back. Against me though, I have no job experience (was a stay at home mom for 12 years) and just a few college credits. I'm not exactly the most easily employed person, other than entry level stuff. I also need a job that will be flexible with my school schedule - hence the retail spots and not an office/receptionist position.

We're not sure if our bowling league will start this week or not, the alley says not many joined up. I suppose starting at 6pm is not easy if someone works in Nashville. If it doesn't work out, we'll see about some of the weekend leagues they have and go that route. We both bowl (he has a 300 ring, I've yet to break 200 lol) and I love it. Most leagues have no issue with people who are not 'pro level' bowlers, but others I've come across are so nitpicky, so you never know.
Hi Teacher2Be,

I met my husband online too! It worked out great. Going on 7 years now.
Sorry you are finding it hard to find a job here. I came with one so it was easier for me. I work for Publix. I will ask tomorrow if they need help in one of the departments. It's slow right now so it's tough. What store did you apply in?

I can relate to this as well. My daughter did not move with us. She is 26 and has a life in Florida and did not want to move. Boohoo for me. It bothers her too.

You're welcome. Us TN newbies have to try and help one another if we can.

Ahhhh Kim, a fellow Empty Nest Syndromer!

As far as meeting people from online,of course one has to be careful....but I belonged to an online weight loss group for some years and met several of the women from that group and it was great!

I would love to meet some of the people I meet online but I am scared to death to. There are real psychos out there. No offense meant to anyone, but it really is scary.
