Joanne Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Challenging stuff: Budget My adjunct job got my pay wrong, and it hasn't been fixed I'm not getting child support A contract complaint was filed on our biggest contract (not for quality of care, but an administrative detail that was not my fault, but comes under my supervision) My Aunt died this morning There have been bounced paychecks at my (main) job! A client died recently Good stuff: This is the longest my husband has been in 2 years without going to the hospital. We have decided to try to work it out (including using counseling lol) The "interim" on my job title has been dropped, I am now simply the Program Coordinator. My kids are all doing well, grade wise I've been going to an AA meeting regularly (something I haven't done in years) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris in VA Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 Always wanting the best for you, Joanne. Your resiliency is amazing. I LOVE your good news--really, it brings tears to my eyes, esp the AA part (b/c of my connection to that, mostly) and the part about you trying to work things out with your dh. I'm so hopeful for you. The finances will work out, I'm sure of it. So sorry for the losses--I hope you have space and time to grieve in the way that you need to.

Night Elf Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 I hope your goods outweigh your bads! Sorry for your loss. I'm sure the administrative details can be a nightmare. I hope those get straightened out really soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 Considering the last I'd heard--in 2011, I think--the good news in your post is SO good. I've been thinking about you, worrying, praying over the past year. I'm so glad--so, SO glad A's health is...well, much better it sounds like. I pray all the other things would work themselves out peacefully, quickly. I know how incredibly deep your love for each other has been & through what incredibly hard times. I hope all the hurt can be healed, fixed, whatever. I hope health & comfort for you both & for your children. (((Joanne))) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
