Depressing is when you put on a hat you do not feel like wearing. Real is not depressing - sad maybe, but sad is okay if it is where you are.<BR/><BR/>KEEP BELIEVINGAngie @ KEEP BELIEVINGhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00930977696454848345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146273036182540178.post-339958363714848412008-07-29T08:25:00.000-05:002008-07-29T08:25:00.000-05:00They have no business getting big like that..

If you're going through a tough time in your life, then you have every right to feel however you feel. You post whatever you want on your blog -- it's freedom of expression. If someone thinks its "too depressing" then they can read something else. Don't try to put on a mask and fake happiness if you aren't feeling it. This blog is for you as much as it for anyone who is smart enough to read it.<BR/>Besides, you have a TON more readers on your blog than I do on mine so you're doing something right (which is being you)!<BR/><BR/>Hang in there. I hope you find a job soon. I'd be stressed if I didn't know how I'd pay my bills too. And like you said, at least you have two beautiful boys to hang out with. :)Jenniferhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12442961276465790792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7146273036182540178.post-54554808733243356642008-07-27T12:37:00.000-05:002008-07-27T12:37:00.000-05:00Your kids are cuter than the boys on Nick &amp; the Disney channel.

I got the sense that you were able to appreciate and make the best of a certain situation, which is what our kids need to learn from us. It's not surprising that they had a wonderful week. Good luck with the job search, but definitely keep looking for the good in things. Good things happen to good people, mostly when they least expect it.Jeremy (Discovering Dad)http://discoveringdad.net/noreply@blogger.com
