here's a RANT for you~~~~~

  Your prayers should not only included lights and food, but THE HUBBY especially!
He answered mine and I know he will yours! Knowing to lean on him his most important!
(unlike everyone else HE will never let you down!)
I know God had us in this position for a reason and looking back now, I see things I couldn't see then. Just hold your head up and try to remember it can only get better sooner or later!

O.   K.    Head is up.  Praying for him like mad.  Being nice to him like crazy.  Doing extra-double wife/mommy duty to give him a little break here and there so he can have time recharge and figure this out.  You know what he did?  Gave me his GIANT monitor from his office so that I can completely enjoy my hobby.  Now that his office is in what used to be Sophie's playroom (the basement) there are lots of fun stuff I have to look forward to. 

I know God is here.  I'm doing all right.  You're right about the hind sight being 20/20.  Feeling OK right now.  I hope it lasts.  I am starting to feel like maybe the worst is over and we are on the upswing. 

OH, and we qualify to go on a payment plan to keep the lights on--YIPPEE!!!!  That was some good news for sure.

Woo- hoo you Go Girl! ...Payment plans Rock!

Just some updating for you........we have received the EXACT amount that we need the moment we have needed it and have avoided all sorts of utility shut offs, have plenty of food in the fridge (just for today) and have a little more coming in.  Thanks to the tax incentive we will get a nice check in the mail in the next couple of days.  PHEW!

Now, God has not only provided, but he has gotten my very dear hubby well again (he struggles w/ addiction) AND his new business is up and running and we are being very well taken care of.(thank God for Ebay and office liquidation!)...We are lucky....we are blessed....I'm so glad we are starting to come out of this garbage...It's been a very long 5 weeks. 

Summer is going on full swing and Sophie and I are adapting to all of the changes.  Thank you to all of the moms who have let me vent on this board.  I honestly don't have anyone here to really talk to.  Not anyone that would understand anyway.....

So thanks.  My posts haven't been very steady lately, something I hope to change shortly.  You guys rock!!!

It's been a while since I checked on this thread- so I'm just wondering how you've been doing yaya.

[yayamommy]

OH, Thanks Happy Momma!  I actually did post a few days (weeks?) ago an update, and now I can't remember where I put it!       I think maybe in chit chat.  Well, that's me for you.. .But, our troubles are slowly but surely turning around.  My hubby and I are bonding again (in EVERY aspect of that word-and PHEW I've still got it, if you know what I mean) and we are also learning how to deal with our finances and not throw up when we realize we will be in debt for another 14 years or so before this catastrophe is paid off.    
At least we didn't lose the house or each other or our health.  Phew.  And we managed to keep most of it away from Sophie as much as possible. 
The only little glitch was my having to go on a slight anti depressant to help me through.  I had an almost full blown panic attack two weeks ago, so my hubby encouraged me to seek medical attention.  I did, and feel much better.   

Oh, thanks for asking!  It feels good to get this out and recap on the good that has come from all of this.  I really do love these boards. 
Take care happy Momma--and all of you who have been right here if I needed it.  WOW, talk about God timing when these boards got started.  It was literally a week before my home drama started.  whoohoo for the momblogs!
