I'm alive and well

Hello everyone!

I haven't been here in awhile. I haven't really had much to say. I'm still unemployed and trying to keep busy. Not that it's really that hard for me with two houses to take care of.

We got Kjersti and Aydan all moved out and they stayed at my house for two weeks. I kind of hid out at Jeff's house most days. It helped a lot to keep me sane. I stopped by, bought groceries, visited and then would head back to Jeff's house. I took them shopping and bought Aydan new shoes and clothes and Kjersti a new suitcase. I spent a fortune that I shouldn't have but she needed help. It always feels good to help your kids.

Gunnar and I took them to the airport on the 30th. We helped them in with their luggage, had a cup of coffee and walked them to security. As they walked away I started crying. Here is my big, burly 23 year old son holding my hand and walking through the airport while his mother is crying. I love my kids!

Kjersti is struggling a little in Michigan. She's living with David's father and step-mother. She says his father doesn't like her but his mother and step-mother love her. David is having a hard time being away and putting her through all kinds of mind games. He told her he no longer loves her and wants a divorce one day then is fine the next. She says she has no job, no life and no home. Jeff told me to tell her to have him pay for her way home and have her come back. He says we are family and she will always have a place to stay. Easy for him to say, that home will be mine. I told him if she comes back I'm moving in with him. He seemed fine with that. It's true though, she is more than welcome to come home. I'll deal with it.

Gunnar is finally back to work. He's considering going back to school to further his welding skills. He's asked my opinion on that. I told him that I feel my life is on hold until he gets his life going and moves out but he's also got to make himself more employable. Whatever it takes for him to get a stable job and move out. He's not moving back once he moves out. I hope...

I've been working with a head hunter and so far have had one interview. She has not heard back from them yet so I have no idea how I have done. I have another interview scheduled for Friday. I'm ready to get back to work. There is only so much cleaning and yard work I can do on Jeff's and my house. I'm running out of things to do.
