it will. Hubster got laid off from his job last Wednesday. We weren't shocked, but it is still not a pleasant experience. Hubster went to apply for unemployment, and we got another bombshell. It seems that they overpaid him last year when he was unemployed by four weeks, so until we pay back $1600 no unemployment. They are nice enough to let us pay them back at a rate of $120 per month, but considering that we have zero money coming in that looks like a huge number. We are trying to fight it, but we don't know if it will do any good. Hubster has been on 4 job interviews so far. He has two interviews today. I'm just hoping that he hears something tomorrow. Our van also broke down, but thankfully Hubster was able to fix it enough until he gets a job. Then last night we got home from church to a big mess. They are building a Walmart across the street from our subdivision, and the water has been turned off every afternoon this week for hours on end. KG wanted to take a bath, so she turned the water faucets on in the bathtub. Needless to say that when the water came back on, so did the water in the tub. It overflowed into the downstairs. I told Hubster last night on the way home from church that I'm beginning to wonder just what in the world we have done wrong because I want to fix it. I'm so stressed right now, and I'm trying not to worry. Just need prayers that everything works out quickly.

Wow..It has been nearly a month
The family has been so busy that I hardly have a time to turn around. I can not imagine doing school full time and working. It just would not be possible. I am already overwhelmed with school without adding that to the mix. I keep telling myself that eventually I will get into a routine, and then I will have weeks like this week where I have 5 papers to turn in. I should be doing those instead of sitting on here blogging, but here I sit.
KG is loving school, and she is absorbing so much right now. I love how that we can be anywhere, and she starts pointing out numbers and letters to me. She is growing up so much. I did not have any problem the first day of school dropping her off, but yesterday I teared up. She told me that I didn't have to walk her to class any more because she is a big girl. She knows where her class is. Nothing like watching your child walk into a building all by herself. She is loving flip and dance. She is learning how to do handstands. One of these days she is going to learn how to do a cartwheel. Let me just say that she isn't exactly the most coordinated kid, but as long as she is loving it and having fun, then we will keep going. She has her first dance recital on October 29. She has to wear a Halloween costume for that one.
BG is getting used to being at home with just Mommy. I think she is really liking it. She turned 3 on September 4. I still can't believe my baby is 3 years old. I don't know where time has flown. She is growing up so fast.
The boys are doing pretty good. They are both enjoying football, and the more that TB gets to play the more he seems to like it. They had him running the ball yesterday, and he was saying that he dragged the biggest boy (He is actually the biggest, so it is the next biggest boy.) 3 yards, and coaches were hollering at him to go. This is a big deal because LTrain (that is what the kid is called) is a really good football player. TB missed last weeks game because he had bronchitis. Coach and doctor told him no practicing or playing until he could run without coughing up a lung. KB got to play a bit, and he loved it. He did get hurt yesterday. He and another boy hit helmets, and it bent his neck back. One of the other moms is a nurse practioner, so she checked him out. Said that it would be sore a few days, but otherwise he should be fine. He rotated between ice and heat last night. He said it was stiff this morning, but at least it felt better. KB is doing pretty good in school. All of his grades are passing, so we will take that. He had a few issues at the beginning of the year with not turning in work. Coach cured him of that at least until football season is over. They get a copy of progress reports every Tuesday afternoon, and if they have a zero, they run "reminders". Those are horrible, and he found out real quick he didn't want to do that again. TB is struggling in school. He was failing 3 classes, but two of his teachers gave him extra credit work to make up the test grades. Hopefully that will put him back over the passing. A test taker he is not. The other class he just needed to turn two papers in, and that should get his grade back into the passing realm. He started out the year so great, and then I don't know what happened. I'm still trying to figure out what to do. He does have a 99 average right now in math. His teacher is so proud of him. She is one of the teachers that he is failing a class in, so she is really trying to work with him. I asked him if we need to get him a tutor if that might help him with spelling. The dysgraphia kills his English grade because it has spelling. Hopefully his grades have been brought up because next week is eligibility week, and he wants to play.
Hubster went on a Navy funded trip to California back in August, and he was trying to go on a four month funded trip starting in October. His CO has put a halt on all classes until after July. He wants all hands on deck for FEX. Training told him that he might still be able to take a class, but only if he signs a waiver stating he will go in July. He has no problem doing that, but the CO has to sign off on the class and waiver business. Hopefully he can get this done because his job right now is SLOOOOOOOOOOW. They told him that they would like for him to take a 3 to 4 month class that way they don't have to lay anybody off. I really do like this company he works for. We are praying that either work picks back up, or that he gets a waiver and a class.
Health wise I'm doing okay. I'm still having issues from the surgery. I am being referred to another doctor to see if my problem can be fixed with medicine, have to live with it, or requires surgery. She told me that I will have multiple tests ran, and that one of them is a potassium test that hurts. They are going to do a biopsy of my bladder. I have to check today to see if the referral has been approved, and when my appointment is.
