Broke as a joke!

I've always been a worker so when I was injured to the point where I no longer can back in Nov. 2010 it really started to bother me. Work has always defined for me who I am and made sure I could pay my bills and raise my son. Well that's all over now. I've never been this broke before, broke to the point where I'm becoming worried about how we'll eat. I had to file for SSD and the determination has still not came in and my Workmen's Comp. stopped awhile ago which leaves me living off of the little bit of savings I had which is now down to maybe $100, how is anyone suppose to live and pay their monthly bills on $100. I don't ever remember having to struggle like this and it makes me question so many things. They say God never gives us anything we can't handle, but I'm starting to wonder. I so wished I just would have called out of work that day and I wouldn't be in this scary position now.

My baby is not longer a baby :(

Wow am I feeling old! I'm going to be the mother of an 18 year old come tomorrow. Where did all the time go? I look at baby pictures and wow has he grown and fast, it almost feels as if it was overnight. It feels so weird to think of him as a "legal" adult when I can still remember holding a little newborn baby. Well so for me what's next? Is this what empty nesting feels like even thou he isn't going anywhere anytime soon, I hope not it really sucks. I miss my baby.

My sweet baby!
