Thanks to everyone for their thoughts and prayers. I think my mom is going to be okay, now that she's had a few days to process and deal with it all. She's still in that "oh my god what am I going to do for money!?" state, which is, uh, normal. Again, I just feel absolutely terrible. Like she hasn't had about the hardest life in the world. And now this. I wish there was more I can do.

I'm putting in my resume at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. As a manager there I would be making 2x what I am now, so I'd be able to send money home until things get better. The only downside is that I'll have to give up iRi. I just think it's the right thing to do.

Things with Todd are still going really well. Can you believe it's almost been a month already? I'm really thankful and amazed that he found me when he did. Who knows - maybe this could be it. Not that I think it is, but what if?

I should probably go, we've got a date to watch the Confessions tour and go out for ice cream (have i mentioned that it's below zero here? yeah, my bf is wierd.).

WHAT! But you love working there! Your mother didn't want you to move home, even when you didn't think you were going to be able to happy staying in Chicago. She is not going to want you to give up a job you enjoy and is what you want to do with your life just so you can make more money at a job you hate and send some home. I really don't think that's a good idea. I mean, if you think she's been feeling bad now, I don't think that would compare to how she'd feel if she thought she made you give up this job. I know you want to help, but I really don't think this is the way to do it.

I agree with the person above - the chance to do a job you love comes along once in a lifetime if ever, for most people.
I know you love your mom, but it should not be up to the child to support the parents.
