dont mind me, just venting a bit.
it's scary sometimes, being the rock. having to show no fear, total confidence. to not breakdown because the family relies on your strength when things get rough... my husband is an emotional wreck from all the stress, he looks to me for reassurance. I have to pretend I have no doubt we will be able to keep our house, that we will find money somehow, opportunities will come up, unemployment will go through, something will change. that it's not over UNTIL IT'S OVER!!!
I just have to be honest with someone though, so I'm telling you all. I'm not confident at all, im really just HOPING everything will be ok.
i just need prayers and positive vibes❤
@mommabearto2, California is pretty expensive, that's just for a tiny 2 bedroom apartment lol!
@kattastrophe, Holy crap $1000 on rent. Wow no wonder why you are stressing out. thats $12,000 a year. Damn.
@mommabearto2, haha right? thanks mom and dad.... I've filed all the paperwork for state help, and the unemployment, I've made him a new resume. we still owe $400 on rent, but hopefully we'll figure something out before $1000 rent is due next month. plus bills, ugh. hopefully it's just a little while longer until we find money.
@kattastrophe, I remember those days all too well. Its really hard and I even broke down a couple of times trying to figure out how I could pay rent and possibly buy groceries. Life just sucks at times and sadly woman always have to be the strong ones for their husbands. I was raised to believe it was the other way around but learned very quickly that was in fact a lie. lol Thank mom and dad.
@mommabearto2, thank you❤ I know there's a natural ebb and flow to life, it's just hard being tough some days. like, can someone else worry FOR me so I don't have to?😂
I did this for years with my husband and even myself when we got divorced. It switched from trying to reassure him to having to reassure myself that I can make it. Now after being remarried we are finally in a stable situation that when I wasn't able to work anymore due to the pregnancy. We didnt have anything to worry about. Give it time. Honestly you will get there but having to tell yourself and the hubby you'll get through this is not bad. Just believe in yourself.
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
We made it to the hotel, we have about 3 hours until the storm enters Georgia. From all the updates...we most likely wont have a home to go back to after this is all over. I'm going to continue to pray, at this point I just want us to survive this. I know I already said it but please keep my babies & I in your prayers.
School fees
Having an intense debate on Facebook about school fees for public school. I'm in the "stop whining about school fees and stop having kids if you can't afford them" camp and there is the other camp of "free school is a constitutional right! It's bull s*** we have to pay anything at all".
Does anyone like their in laws?
With all the posts about terrible in laws I was just wondering if anyone actually likes their in laws?!?! I love me in laws. I'm blessed to have such a wonderful immediate and extended family. My mil loves spending time with my boys. She comes over at least once a week and will sleep over. She gets up with the boys in the morning and let's my husband and I sleep in. My fil is a great man also. He's always coming over to visit and do some odd jobs around the house...
@kattastrophe, Oh see that makes sense. My friend Steven pays $1200 for a studio cause he lives in California. I'm in Kansas paying $615 which includes our water for a big 2 bedroom. Here we need a 3 bedroom and I'm like noooooo I dont want to pay more than I'm already paying.
