As I sit here thinking about the future I cannot seem to not think about the past. Past mistakes. One that has been coming to mind is when the Hubs lost his job. Maybe its not a mistake but a lesson in learning to jump.
And what I mean by that is, should we have closed up shop in Illinois and tried to find greener pastures. I was still working at the time, I could have tried to move with the company. The girls were and still are portable. We could of just put the house on the market, and chosen somewhere else to go. Somewhere warmer maybe?!
California, Florida, Georgia. Anywhere. But we were to scared of failure. Failure I have done that already they took my house I could not provide a place for my children to live. I didn't know what I would feed them from day to day. If the heat or electric would be turned off. If the car would be taken.
What could of happened if we failed we move back to Illinois and move in with my Parents, did that not too fun, but it helped us to get to next step. I thank god for their generosity everyday even if the end result was not good for all parties.
The hubs may have found a job quicker than 3years later. Maybe I would have never quit the job because the new job was not killing me. Maybe we found new friends, new schools that fit us just right.
But these are what ifs....I cant live on what ifs. But as I type this I am thinking its never too late. We can start again. Take the jump!

How time flies.....and then u cant remember what happened.
I know I know, its been a long time since I posted, hey life gets you. With having moved into my rents house, having a kid drop out of preschool, husband finally find a job, and summer break starting a lot has happened.
On the home front, we have not finished moving the house in Midlo, but have started taking crap to a storage unit. Its a long process and with JB only off Sun and Mon it makes it a lil harder. Cant have the my dad watch the girls on Mon bc its too hard for him. So we have to try and do it on Sundays, but it was fathers day and who wants to spend all that time moving.
Also just a thought on June 17th that would have been Amelia's birthday if she had decided or I decided to keep her in my tummy. But who knows she could have been 10lbs by then. Since her days of dropping out, she has since decided she wants to return to school for Kindergarten. When it was time for Elizabeth's last days she realize that she would not graduate with her friends and that she would not be able to go to KG, I reassured her that is not the case, but it gave the kick in the ass that she missed school. So that is good thing. We also got a uniform from JB's cousin, bc they have taken their kids out of the school.
And I completely understand why, but I am going to at least get Amelia thru KG and then decide after that. I am hoping that maybe dumb ass principle has figured it out why people are leaving. But I am going to make a strong effort to call the Archdioce and Public Health this year. It was just a horrible epidemic of health concerns last year, and I learned all to late about them. Because trust me I know what exactly to say to Public Health to get them to go in rapidly.
On JB getting a job its awesome, but at the same time sucky, no benifits, long hours and only gets paid to deliver the packages not load them on the truck. But its nice having some income.
I also just had to make a birthday hat for JBs cousins kid for his 1st birthday. I hope they like it. It is my biggest fear and reason I do not sell my crap, who is going to like it.
Thats really all I have right now, but I am sure something stupid or crazy will happen soon, so I will get back to you on that.
