Three Days till Christmas!!

So far the day has started out ok. The kids are playing video games. Fighting over them, but playing none the less. I've managed to run the dishwasher, put everything away, and even cleared the sink out. Apparently I get to go crawl around under the trucks today even though I was originally intending to go speak with the mechanic who did the work on my truck while I was in Memphis to say thank you and inquire about a part time job since who told me he'd lost a mechanic. All to no avail. This is why I don't try to make plans anymore. Everyone else already has plans for me.

Of course I don't I'm not sure why I'm even considering looking for a job right now. It's three days before Christmas! Three days before the end of the buying and the beginning of the returns. Which means about three weeks before everyone starts letting go the help that was hired for the holiday season, and returns to base staff. Do you really think I'm going to find anything worth while right now? I mean heaven knows with everything that's been going on I certainly don't have much I can do. I can't try to run my business. The weather and season pretty much mean even if anyone wanted a vehichle detailed there's a chance I get sick. I can't afford to get sick, and even if I could I can't be around anyone in the family if I do. With my son's treatments and the chemo I can't risk anyone else getting sick especially not him. So option number one is out. I can't afford the Driving School to finish my CDL training so option number two is out. If by some freak chance I could find a Tracter Trailer company willing to hire me with my CDL Learner's and be able to earn as I learn the chances of them working with my scheduling needs so I can be home for a week every eight weeks is very slim so option number three is out. Seems that I just can't get anything right. Well at least I have plenty to rant about.

Sadly most of what I have to rant about right now sounds more like complaining. I can't support my family without a job. I can't get a job if I can't go out looking, and even if I could go out right now. No one seems to be hiring for what I can do right off the bat. I would love to get on with a Trucking Company, but most of them are frozen for the holidays, and those that aren't on a hiring freeze won't return my calls. Even if they do I'm told that I don't have the experiance and they don't have a training program currently. So again where does that leave me? As I see it.... It seems that I am currently useless to my family. I am here and that's about all I can be. No job, no income, no prospects..... Any thoughts?
