When it rains it poors....

Well doesnt seem to be Back in March after just getting back to work from layoff, my hubby had to have emergency open heart surg. 99% blockage. Went back off work on S&A and barely got by again. Not enough money to even get food. Then my oldest son had heart issues with his electrodes being off. got him under control and my youngest son had to have a cist cut out of his throat after getting very sick. So, when it rains its poors. One thing for sure I will definatey be strong after this trial. I keep hanging on to faith and hoping tomorrow is a better day. My biggest dream is to get caught back up on bills and to BUY GROCERIES!!!! Eating one meal a day stinks. Keep us in your prayers....

Ok, so I was really upset to learn my husband's unemployment amount and yes we will be without this computer and the cable is already out because we cant afford.  I was sitting in my living room looking at the tree I was about to take down because I am simply not in the mood and it all totally hit me.  I have already talked to my kids about not having anything for christmas and they are teens so they are ok with it.  Which totally broke my heart.  No matter the age, NO kid should have to go through that. Then we have the most precious grand baby of all.... So sitting and looking at this tree I want down to avoid feeling the emptyness christmas morning, I looked.  When I kept my grandbaby the other night, we colored christmas pictures.  Do you know, that two year old baby is smarter than grandma?  EVERY single page we colored is under my tree.  I am posting the picture later today.  Being so worried about the bills and having enough moeny to even pay them, worried about how to get a gift for them, I forgot the real idea.  And it took my grandbaby to remind me.  We have each other......There is no bill, no amount of money, NO gift grater than that..... My husband and I are not failures because he got laid off and we cant afford anything right now.  We are parents, who raised some outstanding kids whose hearts are bigger than our own.  Together we are going to make it through this lowsy time the best way we can!  My heart goes out to all of you on here.  I have let everyone I know, know about the stories I have read on here.  And I hope for each and everyone of you, you find peace and all you need for the holiday season as well as the days after.  Dont lose FAITH.....

Want to remind those of you with little ones to contact local organization for possible food baskets drives etc.  Elks Lodges, Moose Lodges, Amvets, etc. Contact them to get information about Christmas baskets.  Which may or may not include food and a toy for little ones.  We have signed up with two in our community.  I am all over the internet today trying to find anything for us all.  I will pass along anything I find.  We also checked with our loans etc. with regard to the insurance to make some payments. So for those of you who have credit cards, loanes, check to see if you took out the insurance in the event of un-employment.

Looking for a miracle.  We have had a string of really bad luck and trying to keep our heads up.  One thing after another.  My husband was just laid off from US Steel after 21 yrs as the plant is going idle for awhile.  We are getting way behind in our bills, our furnace went out got it fixed and now the starter on my jeep went out.  I am not sure how much one can take.  We have three kids and a grandbaby and we had to tell them we simply cannot do christmas this year.  They are old enough to understand but my grandbaby is not.  Not looking for a free ride what so ever.  If anyone could help us in this time of need just get one gift so they are not disappointed on christmas I will see to it I pay you back.  I know allot of people scam for things, but this is an actual nightmare I am in.  We feel like complete failures this christmas. Thank you in advance for any help you can give.  Please provide your info for a personal thank you from my husband and myself.  God Bless you for even taking the time to read this.
