Wine is fine but liquor is quicker.

I prefer shots of Crystal Head/Skull

Same here I drink to relax. My days of getting hammered just because are way behind me.

Hows everything at Home right now Konohakitten?

Hows everything at Home right now Konohakitten?

Very hectic to say the least, so much is happening to my little family right now. My hubby wasn't getting many hours at his job as a waiter, so we were always short on cash even though he was bringing money home every night. We hit very hard times. The kind of hard times were you're two months behind on bills, rent, and you have no food in the fridge. These type of times aren't foreign to us, were use to hitting it low but we've always manage to get back on our feet. So a few days ago John left to a small town 3 1/2 hours ago in search of work. He has a friend that's there and he told him there is tons of work there. So John found a good amount of job opportunities while he was there. He came back after being gone two days. He was here for the weekend to tie up loose ends and now he left again. However this time I wont see him for about a month or more.

This is the biggest obstacle my family has ever taken on. John told me that if work is out there hes willing to leave us behind to do his best to better our lives. He'll be working and living in his car since his friend has no room in his small trailer for John or his brother who also went with him to find work. It breaks my heart to know that my love is going to be facing some very tuff times. But at the same time my heart is filled with so much love and hope. He is sacrificing so much for us, he truly wants us to have a better future. So I'm here with just my two boys, today is the start of my ultimate test as a mother and wife. I miss him so much already, I just want to cry. However I cant do that because of my sons, I have to be strong for them. I'm happy that Kaiden and Gideon are still very young. Its safe to say that they wont remember this.

I know I can do anything especially if its for my kids, but John and I have always been together. When I left for college out of state was the last time we were apart and that was for 3 months. Since then we've been by each others side. Having kids just makes everything so much more different. Now my other half isn't here and I'll have to be a mommy and daddy to my kiddos. We're thinking John will come the weekend of his birthday which is Halloween. He may not be able to take the kids out trick or treating but that's ok. I'm so very proud of my Johnny but I cant help but be sad....

Sounds rough. But I hope you pull through!!!! I wish him the best of luck. Oh How bout I help you try find some work you can do at home?

[tricksie]

Oh I'm sorry you have to go through this! It's a challenge, but you can make it through. It's funny, as a mom, I've found myself persevering through situations I thought I'd probably never make it through if I wasn't a mom. But having someone depending on you gives you strength, you know?

Your husband's making a big sacrifice, but he's a good dad and husband for doing all this for your family. I hope this will only be a bump in the road and that a good job will open up closer to home very soon.

Have you met some other moms or friends where you live yet? A support group of local moms can definitely make things easier.

Hang in there. Do good things for yourself and the kids whenever you can. And have lots of fun, especially when you don't feel like it! *hugs*

Thanks so much Phantom, your kind words do give me strength. I also do work from home on two types of projects, but the kids make it hard to work.

Thanks Tricksie, you're right you know, being a mother gives us resilient strength, we will do anything for our children. I just never thought I'd have to do something like this ^^; My sons are still very young so I know they wont remember this. However Kaiden is asking for his father now and it breaks my heart. I really dont have any mom friends and the ones that I do have either have one child or their kids are in their teens. I dont know anyone that has two little ones like myself. My hubby took the only car we have so I'm stranded here at home most of the time. His friends and my family have called and stopped by when they can though. Its still not the same but I'm happy just to get contact with other adults lol. I'm looking forward to Sunday because we always get together with Johns best friend and he happens to be Kaidens Godfather. We always hang out at home and then go out to eat. We then come home and watch the new episode of One Piece. Its our official nerd day and we've been doing it for a year now. Even though John is gone Jason was sweet enough to keep stopping by on Sunday and take us out to eat. I know Kaiden will love that, and so will I! I'll finally get to leave my house!

[Phantom_999]

Sounds good. Have fun!!!

I'm sorry to hear about what's happening to you KonohaKitten since I read the latest chapter of Someone Else To Protect and saw your author's note. Hope everything works out for you and you can get things back to what they were.

[narulsaku]

Thanks Toasty, it hasn't been easy. It's been three weeks now that I've been without John. That's three weeks of having to take care of my two boys alone, it can be so nerve racking. However John is working in New Mexico making way more money then he ever has, ever. So now we wait for him to save for us to move up there with him. He left with his brother and the two of them are tuffing it out what with living out of the car since they went there with nothing. Luckily they have friends there that let them use their restrooms and sometimes they feed them. When it comes to sleeping John and his brother sleep in our car.

John and his brother have both been working and tomorrow they get paid. They plan on looking for a place to rent, which will ultimately be our new home. So its all about waiting for John to have enough to get a place start utilities and of course enough to move us all to New Mexico. So for now I wait patiently for each of his paydays. Hopefully we can be together by Thanksgiving. It sucks, I miss him so much, but I couldn't be prouder of what he's doing for his family. I also felt great when I uploaded chapter 23, I forgot how fun it was to write. So now I'm hard at work on chapter 24. It really helps me relieve stress. So I'm glad that I have something to keep me busy and happy when my kiddos are sleeping

[narulsaku]

so do you have any idea when they are going to come back

[Konohakitten]

Sadly I dont at first John was thinking of coming back this Friday so that we could celebrate his birthday early, which is Halloween. However now it seems that we won't see him until it's time to move, and honestly I still dont know when that's going to happen. It all depends on how fast he can find us a place to live.

I agree Narulsaku it does suck but both John and I are both willing to sacrifice being together so that our kids can have a better lives

[narulsaku]

yeha . parents shoukd be like that.

[Konohakitten]

So John has rented a house for us up in Jal It's only a two bedroom and his brother is staying with us, so we'll be a little cramped but honestly I dont care, I just want to be to with John This past month was difficult and I'm still going to be by myself a little longer, but it's just until next week! Johnny will be driving down with his brother next Friday to help us pack up and move to our new home. It's a pain to move, I cant stand it and in all reality it hasn't sunk in that I need to start packing. My mom has some boxes for me and I'm sure once I start I'll realize there is no turning back. Once John gets here my ordeal of being a single parent will be over, by then my time alone will be a month and two weeks. I cant wait to look back and say to myself "Thank the gods that's over and done with!"

Part of me wishes we were moving into a much bigger home by ourselves but things like finding a place were hard. John and Matthew (his younger brother) are living in a town of just 2100 people. The housing market is none existent. He was only able to find the place he got due to friends he made in Jal. They were able to give him a lead on a house. Luckily the land lord is very close friends with the people that gave John the lead and it's because of that that both he and his brother got the place. They were beyond excited because since last month they have been sleeping in their trucks (the construction place were they both work gave them company trucks) Plus this place is also down the street from where they both work so of course they weren't going to pass it up just because it's a two bedroom. So they sealed the deal last week and now both John and Matthew have been getting the house ready for us.

Once we get up there we'll take a few months to save up so that we can find a bigger home for ourselves in a neighboring town that's much bigger. We just needed something for now, and when we move we will leave the house to Matthew. It's cool because the land lord usually charges per person so he wanted to charge Matthew and John 600 a month (300 each) but when he learned that John had us he told him his family rate is 650. So once we go Matthew will have a nice 2 bedroom house for 300 which is a sweet deal for a single person. I'm going to enjoy house hunting once we get settled. It sounds so repetitive since we'll be moving once we get settled but my boys both need their own rooms. I think maybe in March we'll start really looking. I dont want to go and move right away you know.

I'm just so happy that soon my family will be complete once more. I've missed my husband so much. The poor thing has had it so hard this whole time, I just wish I could comfort him. He's been living out of a truck, and plus hes been eating ramen almost every night D: I'm so thankful he's met such kind strangers. John and Matthew have spread the word about work in Jal. So of course one of Johns friends went there as well to start fresh. He was lucky enough to have a cousin that lives there but he's never met them. His new found family allowed John and Matthew to stay in their home when it got below 30 degrees at night. They also let them use their shower and have been feeding them a few days out of the week, so their ramen diet wasn't all they had. If it weren't for them I dont know what my husband and brother in law would have done.

Needless to say I can't wait to be able to take care of my hubby again. He's told me he cant wait to eat my cooking again. I didnt think I'd miss such simple things like making him something to eat, but I really do. I can't wait to hold him and kiss him, I cant wait to roll over in bed and see him, and not just an empty space in bed. Everything I've wanted is falling into place, and I know the next thing I know I'll be in his arms. Soon enough though soon enough
