Bullying in schools is real. And when the bullying involves a child with social or cognitive impairments or developmental delays it becomes even more confusing and difficult to deal with. Sometimes the kiddo with the impairments is the bully and sometimes they are the one being bullied. I wish I had all the answers. It keeps me up at night.
Our brand new auto insurance policy was canceled. Because our cars aren't titled to us. I mean we have planned on getting them titled in our names instead of our parents. But we just haven't yet. So basically now we have 10 days to try and get it switched over before we have no car insurance. Awesome.
We are trying to get life insurance. We already had blood work done. And now they want me to have an exam. The exam includes 8 to 10 hours of fasting. So either I make the appointment for like 8 am and have to take MORE time off work. Or, I have to fast during the day at 30 weeks pregnant. Remind me why life insurance is so important?
William has been gone for going on two weeks. I cry almost every time I talk to him (which has been for like 5 minutes every 3 days). I can't help it. He talks about coming home on Thursday and all I can think is that he is just going to leave again on Monday. And then I will be left to deal with all of the above mentioned stuff alone.
Seriously, where are the jobs? WHY doesn't anyone want William? He is SUCH a hard worker. He is SO smart. I seriously don't know what to do anymore. There are so many cliches I could say to myself right now... "Everything happens for a reason", "Good things come to those who wait", "Patience is a virtue", "God always provides" but the truth is... I'm angry. When has all our sacrificing been enough? William has given his time to the Army and would gladly give his LIFE. I married him full well knowing that. He works hard at the job he has, busting his butt to impress people and move up the line... to what end? We give back to our community, love our friends well, spend time with our families. I work with kids with cognitive/developmental/language impairments. I would do it for free if I didn't have to eat. We saved our money, bought a house, have no credit card debt (don't even have a credit card), are quickly paying off my student loans, consult with financial advisors...
So... LIFE, GOD, WHO EVER IS LISTENING.... when do we get our break? WHEN?
Edited to add:
I know that many people have it so much worse. This is not meant to be a complaint, just a plea. Because sometimes life is just too overwhelming.
Also, I just spoke with William (about 20 minutes after posting this) and he is amazing. God blessed me with an amazing man. He loves Levi and I so much.
