2009

I am just hoping 2009 is a much better year for us. 2008 stunk! Plain and simple. I think it all pretty much started in March when we found out Curtis' mom had colon cancer. Curtis was really sick also. After, many test he found out he has adult asthma and allergic to his own body. They gave it some name and I can't remember. His meds have sucked us dry. He got laid off. Twig's recovery was a long road ahead for all of us. We didn't know that it would be until October that she would start to be feeling better. Curtis found another job that lasted 3 months and laid off again. Brittani spent 3 weeks in Europe which I had panic attacks about. Trouble with calling cards, atms and a whole mess with the bank that should have been addressed before she even left. I think I lost many sleepless nights and gained a few gray hairs.
We have been struggling money wise this past year and feel that our ship is barely afloat. Between Curtis' and the boys' meds each month it is a struggle.
My brother is going through nastey custody battle with his ex. I have many sleepless nights worring about him. He lost his job also.
Curtis' brother has gone awal and hanging out with the wrong kind of people, such as my brother's ex. One would think he would know what kind of person she is. He will only learn the hard way such as my brother did.
I know this is only the tip of what happened but it has to be better.
Curtis has a job interview on Monday and I am crossing my fingers that he gets hired. It is a city job so the benifits will out weigh the wage cut that he will be taking. Becca's team won their basketball last night. The first game of this year. She even made the first points. You go girl. Brittani meets with the airforce next week and everyone goes back to school. My brother has 2 court dates next week to get his son back. I am looking to this as a good start.
