Life's Kicking Me Down

Hey guys....today was not....good to say the least. My Dad and oldest brother found out that they will be jobless in three months time. Their factory is shutting down and moving to another state. My brother will be fine he's young and healthy....Dad is another thing though. He's pushing sixty and isn't healthy at all from years of heavy drinking and smoking...I doubt anyone will hire him..he know's that and we know that. I have never seen my Dad look so lost and beaten down as he did today. It just broke my heart to see him like that. I know that things will be okay though him and my mother have a good savings, he'll get a severance, and he's put into a retirement plan the entire time he's been there which has been for over 35 years.

On to my weigh in... I weighed in at 185. So that's a pound lost. I didn't weigh right this morning because I got the call about my family and ran out the house in a hurry so I'd eaten before I weighed...so I'm not really counting this weigh in.

I'm just in to much of a blah state. On top of my Dad and brother's news today, I never heard back about the job I thought I had. I went to two interviews for this place with two different managers and both seemed to like me and I really thought that I had it by the way they talked but I never heard from them and they told me they'd call yesterday. So today was once again spent putting in applications.

Annnnd.....my husband has put in over 90 hours at work this week alone. He has work since March 21st and will not have a day off until April 4th!!! I hate that he's killing himself working this much overtime. He works 12 hour shifts and twice this week alone he's work two 16 hour shifts. I miss him dearly and can't wait for his month 7 day break....that's one of the things I love about his job once a month they get seven days in a row off from the way their schedules work. Oh and did I mention that he works swing shifts? Nights one week days the next.

As you can tell I am in the dumps. Majorly!
