Stressed, a little overwhelmed...

Long time since I posted!!! Well this post is dedicated to my stress that I have been feeling in regard to finding a job. lol I am interning until June (only a little under 2 more months!!!!) :-0 It's crazy but while I am going to miss NFMS, I need to find a paying job for the upcoming school year.  I have applied to sooo many CT and NY schools for a school counselor job as well as other positions in the schools just to get my foot in the door at some school. In addition to middle and high schools I have applied to West Conn for a counselor position as they are looking. I have also begun to apply to other agency counseling jobs and use that other masters in community counseling in case a school counselor position doesn't come through. I am also going to register for my license in counseling as that opens a lot more doors. I honestly have never felt it was more difficult to find a job than it is right now. Most likely a result of this being a career type of job I'm looking for and not just another job to bring in some income... I am looking for something I will enjoy doing. While I have come to the conclusion that a school counselor position may not come through for September 2012, I will look into other type of counseling as well of course .. please everyone, keep your fingers crossed for me that I find a decent job by September at the latest!!!!

In other news, Jason and I are doing well with our business and don't forget that if you want the best deals AND want to earn cash back for shopping, search our web portal where you can find the best prices on just about anything.  It's definitely a "you don't want to pass up" type of thing. Getting into the business itself is also definitely worth it!!! Contact me if you want some details on this business by either being a customer or a business owner like ourselves.

HEALTHWISE
My mom is doing well. She hasn't been on chemo for a while now and is just receiving the bone strengthener treatment and hormone shot to help with her breast cancer. She is in good spirits and is visiting again this Sunday so I am looking forward to her company again! I miss her!

My brother-in-law is doing well. He no longer needs the feeding tube and is doing well. My sister and the boys seem to be holding up well too. His sight is still not back but I am hopeful it will come back in time!!!! He's a fighter and strong so keep him in your thoughts and prayers that he will CONTINUE to fight and get stronger.

Anyways, I hope everyone has a happy, healthy rest of your week and I will try to update this more frequently!!!!

All good news...All stuffed into one blog :-D

Haven't updated in a while so here goes as I sit in bed not ready to go to sleep yet... There has been some great news surrounding us lately and I want to share it with everyone so here goes!

MOM
She's doing well... We had a short scare there for a while in February though... After arriving back in NY from being in Indiana for a month, she went back to her doctor who felt as though her mass had increased in size so she scheduled a PET scan to get a better look.  After waiting 2 long excruciating and anxiety-provoking weeks, it turns out my mom's mass hadn't increased at all actually... The scan actually showed that there was absolutely no liquid in her lungs anymore and the nodules in her lungs were gone. The cancerous mass had decreased slightly as well... They are continuing to give her the bone strengthening treatment and switched her hormone pills to a hormone shot in which she goes once every 2 weeks until April and then down to once a month afterwards so all is looking up!

HERB
Well where to start with this miracle!!! Herb miraculously is doing well and holding his own. After suffering two cardiac arrests in December he has made a tremendous turn-around and is going back home on March 13th! It has been one roller coaster for this guy as well as my sister and their three sons and everyone else in both families but he has made it through! What a fighter! Tests show no signs of a heart attack so it is puzzling at this point what caused his cardiac arrests but he is doing well. He is going to continue attending rehab of course and they decided to definitely put the defibrillator in just in case his heart goes out of rhythm again, it'll shock his heart back into rhythm.  More as a precaution.

JASON AND KELLY
No health concerns here but we just became business partners in Market America.  This is a great opportunity to earn a high paying residual income and includes a 2-3 year plan... This can all be done from simply doing comparison shopping and providing the best service to our customers. Now I now what some people would think. "Why should I go to their portal to shop?" "What's the difference if I just go to target.com?" Here's the answer...It's really a win win for both the customer as well as us in that the customer also earns a check (cash back) from making purchases through Market America's site (you can shop our web portal at www.shop.com/priceisright) and you can also save hundreds of dollars in doing so! By going to our web portal, not only will you have access to MA's great products but thousands of other stores as well, such as target, and earn cash back.  Instead of always putting your own cash into someone else's cash register, wouldn't it feel awesome to have the money put into your own register too??? If you are looking for a product and can't find it, let us know and we can do the comparison shopping for you and find the best price for you! We just went down to Flushing, NY this past week for a mandatory training and both are ow Certified Independent Market America Distributors! How exciting :-D

Anyways there's some all in all good news and hopefully it keeps coming!!

Not this past week that just ended, but the week before last....

Two steps forward, one step back

Just heard from my mom who had a routine check-up for her breast cancer yesterday. After all the progress she has made and everything she has overcome, they noticed it now grew a half centimeter after decreasing in size for the past year and a half. Her doctor also felt a nodule in her neck but mentioned that simply could be nothing as it doesn't move and is very hard, could be just a muscle with a knot in it or something but obviously they are still going to check it out. They are also going to give her a PET scan now and perhaps change around her hormone therapy meds.  I was so happy with all the progress she has made (because after she was first diagnosed, I spent many days in tears). Now I am slightly anxious with this bit of news but I know my mom is a fighter and throughout this whole process, she never lost her sense of humor and strength. I just hope if I ever have to battle the same fight she has, that I can have half the strength and willpower she has kept throughout this whole thing.
