The past month or two has been an emotional roller coaster for me but my life is changing slowly but surely for the better. During the last couple of months I have had no money and have been very low in spirit. I have had my mother, brother and friend help me at times but sometimes I have had no food to eat for a few days, no petrol in my car and electricity running out quickly. My father had to help me with my medication otherwise I think I would have gone completely around the bend. *grin*.
I could not post before now (wanted to post before the weekend) but I have been housesitting and did not have any computer access.
But ....
I started a job today. I am the administrator for a non-governmental, non-profit organisation which cares for abandoned babies and children and abused mothers. It is the same organisation which my friend works for. I will be continuing with the "business" on a part time basis - evenings and weekends and believe it or not but T is wanting to come back again so we are negotiating new contracts etc which will all be signed before we go a step further and make it official. It will help me having someone to share the workload especially as I am now fulltime employed. Some great aspects about this job is that it is a 10 minute drive from my house and with petrol prices going through the ceiling, it is great that I work so close to home and the dress is casual which means that I can go to work in comfy clothes and do not have to spend a fortune on a work wardrobe. I will be taking photographs of the house and the cute little kids which they have in the safe house at the moment and will post them on my blog. The admin and social workers office is downstairs but we do have a chance to interact with the children - however, the snot running out of noses gets to me and when they reach out begging to be picked up, I ummmmmm ..... wellllll ...... bend forward and tickle the tummy. I am such a wuss.
That is my good news. And the other good news is that my emotional state will be improving and I will soon become a regular like I used to be. Though I am sure I have missed the boat already as I barely get any comments anymore. I will pop by your blogs and reconnect with you and hope we can carry on where we left off.
Hope to hear from you all - have missed you all immensely.

I was so pleased to get your comment - a great start for my day!
What great news!! Congratulations on finding something and it sounds a worthwhile job too.
Don't worry about the snotty noses, you soon get used to them.
Be very, very careful with those contracts.
It has made my day to get your news and thanks for your comment.
You are often in my thoughts and I hope you know that I am here, to do what I can, whenever you wish.
Great news about the job and only sign those contracts when you are strong and lucid. They could wait a day or so if needs be.
Be kind to yourself and take care. [[[hugs]]]
Yea!! I'm soooooo happy for you! You'll do a wonderful job, they're very lucky to have you. When you scrap the photo of Hunter, please email me the results. That was a quick moment in time, and I was glad to have the camera in hand. She's growing so fast!!
(((HUGS)))
Michelle you need not worry about connections. You know where to find all of us! There's been many doldrums going about lately so we know what it's like. Congrats on the job and the fact that life is looking up. Never forget where you've been it'll always make where you're going more appreciable.
Hey Michelle-Belle! Glad you're up and running. Ironic that the comment on MY blog right beneath yours accused ME (correctly!) of not posting much lately. Maybe you and I have more in common than we thought.
I look forward to reading about the new job, your business successes, and children without snotty noses. They ALL need hugs tho!
Good to have you "back."
John
Michelle,
So glad things are getting better for you! I have been thinking of you and hoping for the best even if I have not commented lately. I haven't really commented on any blog lately so it is kind of a trend for me right now until life slows down a little. It is these kind of hard times that help us to appreciate our family!
