What to do now!

Well we are heading into week two of not having an income coming in. On a good note I have received several job offers from Nebraska. Now, we are talking about moving there. The problem is getting there with no money. I know that people have moved on less but I am not even sure if we can do that.

Last Thursday the kids had their first dentist appointment and they did extremely well, I was so proud of them. Then Sean and I decided to get them something for being so brave. We took them to the Dollar Tree. Emma was happy to pick something out. Evan on the other hand had a look of disappointment on his face. Sean said "Why don't you pick something out". I could see the look on his face. I felt so bad. Just thinking about it makes me want to cry.

It is so strange going through all of this again. The only difference is the last time that this happened I had a job. I was not a stay at home mother. It is difficult because I can not have the nervous breakdown that I need because I know that I need to stay strong for the children.

Sean and I have been through hard times before. Before it was just Sean and I. What makes it so difficult this time is the kids. I know that we will make it through!

Can this really be happening?!

Well today has been a day to forget. And here is why.......

This morning my husband called me at 9:30 am and I thought that it was just to talk as he always does on his way to the bank. Well, was I wrong. It was to tell me that he had just gotten terminated from Gamestop. That is just the beginning. They did not give him his separation notice, for those that know in the state of Tennessee it is a federal law that when he leaves it is supposed to be in hand. This is for federal reasons. Now we have no income coming in. So I then called my former employer and no it is not that hell of a hole hospital. So I am waiting for them to call me back to let me know whether or not I can come back.

If it is not one thing it is another. I really feel like that God does not like us. The one question that comes to mind is "Why does he allow these things to happen?" What have we done? Maybe it is because we do not go to church every Sunday. What do we have to do to make things change? I am not sure what to do anymore. Everything as of right now is in someone else's hands. Unemployment, food stamps and even health insurance.
