Illness is running rampant through the house right now it seems. Between me and my little guy, we just aren't catching a break. Coughs, sneezing, congestion, and me with pink eye. Phew! Did I mention the sore throat? Oh yeah, that too.

Along with illness making our lives miserable, I got let go from the long term care facility that I had worked at for the last six months as a nurse. Happy Christmas to me. As soon as I got home, I was on the prowl for a new job and filed for unemployment. Now I just have to see about getting MinnesotaCare for the fam, see about going back on WIC, and seeing if some heavenly being will smile down on us and we could also get food stamps. One can only hope.

Wonder if this is just a sign from above that I just need to go back to school for my RN. Eric starts school in January and thank goodness will be done in eight months. What will happen then, I have no idea. All I am hoping is that we have insurance, food assistance, and I have a job lined up.

Keeping my fingers crossed.
