Good luck brother. This economy has been pretty rough on a lot of people. Just had a buddy finally pull out of some rough times so keep the faith that it will all fall in place in due time. It does seem like the economy is slowly but surely getting better. Just hoping this spill in the Gulf doesn't put us back into a tailspin.
I am sure your mother will appreciate you coming to help her and for that I am sure karma will take care of you and before you know it you will be back on your feet and will eventually look back on this experience and appreciate where your at even more. Wishing you the best of luck with your reboot.
