Had a great weekend at the BMX track!!!! Got 5 new riders and had lots of visitors. Worked hard and sold lots of hotdogs and really enjoyed spending time with my oldest and my youngest sons and oldest grandson.
Still haven't got a job, even though I had an interview that lasted an hour and a half last week.
Guess I just ain't what they are are looking for.
Oh well just another day in the life of....ME!

WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN?????????????

Ok! Things are going to smoooooth! Catastrophe is about to strike!

Why do I say that you might ask . Well my name is DONNA MOORE! "Attracter of doom."

Things went well at WTBC today...I got 2 grants and 2 student loans, 1 w/o interest. Then I found out that I qualify for help with transportation to and from school. So I will either get hit by a bus or kicked in the head by a donkey. That is just who I am!

No JOB yet...but I am still looking.

Anyway, I will never reach my goal if I don't keep trying! Career path has changed, I have to try for Med Office Asst. since they no longer offer Surgical Tech in Jackson. But that is ok cause that will leave the way open for me to become an LPN...By the time I am 50 I will be able to help someone else instead of being on the recieving end ALL THE TIME!


Ironic thing about me being the attracter of doom is while I was writing this blog I heard a story on CMT about Billy Currington's concert yesterday when a storm blew the stage down and injured Billy and his bass player ....but the thing is, 1 fan was killed and her name was DONNA MOORE. ... OMG what is in a name?


Makes you wan't to scratch your head and say hmmmm.

FASFA!!!!!!

Yes ! That is what I said ...FASFA ! I qualified for a GOOD sized Pell Grant because of my husband not supporting me!

I can go to school and be somebody that is verified and validated! ! !

I want to become a surgical tech...but I will settle for MOA of LT...Don't think I am smart enough to become a LPN ...the NET looks too hard to pass!

At any rate...I will not be who I am by the time I am 50! I WILL BE TOTALLY INDEPENDENT! It is my desire to be able to help other people, whether it is my family or some deserving strangers. I just know how important it is to PAY IT FORWARD!

My family (ie; my oldest son and daughter in law and my mom and sisters) have helped me not to lose my mind this past year and I just want to be in a position to help someone myself!

SO look out life...here I come! Pray for me!

With GOD all things are possible...even for me!

Motivationally Challenged

This is the first day in the life of ... me.
At least it is the first day that I wrote about.

I am so motivationally challenged that nothing seems important enough to put forth the effort for. I need a job...I need a life...I need validation.

I find myself flying solo after 32 years with the same man. The one I thought I would grow old with.

The one "constant" in my life has been my marriage. It may not have been the greatest marriage in history but it was constant. I have ALWAYS been there for him, and for the most part he has been there for me. We have gone through some trying times. I am a firm believer that what don't kill you will make you stronger. Well now is the time for that STRENGTH.

I gave him my youth...he didn't take it, I gave it away. We married when I was 14 and began our family the first year we were married. For 32 years I have had one purpose in life and that was to be a wife and mother. I did my job to the very best of my ability. Then I got a "pink slip" so to speak!

Now I have to figure out how to start over...with nothing but life experience to fall back on. You see, I am basicly uneducated and have absolutely NO self esteem. The world is too fast paced for me to keep up and I have no idea where to begin.

I have the support of my oldest son and his wife, my mother and sisters. But even with all their good intentions, they haven't any answers for me.

I would love to back my life up about 10 years and do a few things different, but that is all water under the bridge.

So as I lay down tonight, I will pray fervently for answers and see if God has a plan for me. I have let Him down so much this past year that He probably doesn't want to hear from me either.

Tomorrow will be another day in the life of ... me. Maybe things will be a little clearer.
