Jessica's Book Thoughts

Well... It has been exhausting to say the least. Work is going the same as it has. Home life has been crazy. First the oldest kid got sick, real sick. She was off school for a little over a week. She had bronchitis really bad. As soon as she started feeling better the rest of us got sick. My husband ended up in the hospital with pneumonia, he just got home yesterday. He is still sick. His pulse ox won't stay up so he is on oxygen. My son has bronchitis, a horrid ear infection. He is going stir crazy stuck in the house. The middle kid is a lot like me. She keeps moving when she gets sick, me and her started feeling better a lot quicker than the others. She still has a nasty cold.

At the same time as all of that I was in Columbus accepting an award for excellence in my field of work. I feel very honored for that. I also ended up audited by job and family services because of the benefits my sister receives. I forgot to tell them about a raise I recieved at work so they pulled me in torreview last two years of income. I also forgot to tell them about an IRA I was beneficiary of when grandma passed away. All this big deal over an overpayment of $80. Ugh... I had to take three days off work and spend a ton of time at their office. Let me tell you l, the things you see at the welfare office will stick in your brain FOREVER. I watched a bedbug crawl out of a diaper bag. A male get too impatient waiting for the bathroom so he peed in the bushes, and (the icing on the cake) a woman tell her caseworker that the money she makes "hooking" should not effect her cash assistance. Yep, it happened.
