The start of 2018 has been such a blow to the gut. Alex no longer has a steady income because of some bullshit contract flaw. I broke down in tears infront of my friend and her daughter after he texted me. The holidays just happened, we've been waiting on his check that's no longer coming for bills. We have 200 dollars to last us until he gets another job. Thankfully these people are more than family and make my heart so happy. Her son, who is normally an asshole (seriously lol) showed up with 2 boxes of diapers in his arms to help us out. I sobbed. I've never been in this position before, especially one while I have a child to provide for. So now we scramble for a new job, we have to move out of our apartment in town closer to better paying jobs, our phones are going to get cut off before we can pay the bill. I'm so heartbroken but ok at the same time. We've always figured it out, I'm sure we will now too.
