| stressed to the max
What a day.......oh my, what a week, Sorry ladies I have a load to get off my shoulders. NO#1 Well we have been in a financial bind which we are costantly battling. Tomorrow we hear from the bank, whether we can keep our house or not. #2 My car financing company keeps calling me hounding me everytime my payment goes overdue, which I constantly struggle to keep up they also contact my work, and Iam sure everything is kept confidential at work(being sarcastic). #3 My sons college went on strike......he's back home. Another months rent we'll have to pay now that the course has been extended. #3 And well Out re-visiting his old buddies, managed to get himself involved in a fight..out side a downtown bar....came home with a scuffed up eye.....(other wise fine) Informed us relunctantly that he was charged with disturbing the peace and had spent the night in jail. I asked oh my god why didn't you call us.....he was too ashamed, and scared and had contacted a legal aid laywer with his one phone call. This is the son who has never gotten in any kind of trouble before. So he was shaken up, and I was frankly shocked. I think this will be a cheap lesson for him. #4 a co-worker who i consider a friend (loudly) made a rude sexual joke about me today......which really hurt..I felt completly degraded and ashamed He immediatly apoligized but it really didn't help. #5 Finaly when I came home and answerd the phone, it was my daughters grade 3 teacher asking me if I am aware that my daughter is struggling in math and writhing whicH I reply NO like a dummy....She told me she had sent her last few math tests home and that she has been struggling for the past little while, to not be alarmed in the drop in her marks ...Iam not even going to ask what else can go wrong.....cause I know theres alot more.....looking so forward to tomorrow,

It don't rain.. but it pours eh.. ;o) I've been through the creditor crap... lost my house and my car.. lightened my load considerably... got a whole new attitude after it as well.. ;o) My priorities changed big time. And of course... all the other stuff... That's just ole Murphy being busy.. ;o) Ya know...?? what can go wrong WILL go wrong.. right when we feel we can't take another flippin thing... but.. outa the nastiest change.. sometimes the greatest good will appear... God doesn't close a door that he doesn't open a window... Be strong... have courage... and when things get tougher... baby steps will get you there.... |

| Thank you all for your support
Well, we go and sign the papers on Saturday. The Bank manager must have really been on our side. She was our saving grace Iam sure.We really, thought their was no hope in hell. We were prepared to be turned down. The good news is,All of our debts will be incorporated. Even my car,. It has been such a battle. I'am still in a state of numbness,and shock de-pression lifts abit and then it clouds over again. It's like I'am affraid to take the good news into my heart. It still hasn't sunken in yet. I know I sould be greatfull, and believe me I am. It's just in my mind I had travelled and accepted the worst possible out-come.

Well, it's been such a hard time, I'm sure it will take awhile for you to fully accept that things are going to be ok. I'm so glad that the financing worked out for you and that things will get sorted out. It was probably so overwhelming to you to go through the process of what might happen, that you are just afraid to fully accept that things are going to be ok. I'm so happy for you.

| thank you all
Thanks so much to all for your replies. I often come on line when Iam feeling my worst. But I thought I'd actually report something positive. I have been feeling better and better each day.I have taken a new interest in my home, and family life. There seems to be more hope for our future. We were feeling so hopeless and defeated. It just didn't feel like we were ever going to get back on our feet.Everyone has been getting along better aswel. I feel like finaly maybe all our hard work over the past two years is maybe starting to take affect. Spring is here and my depression has lifted. I started walking again each night,. It really helps me to release stress and wind down. It feels like meditation. I am trying not to loose weight, cause I can get on the too skinny side. Just mainly doing it for over all health benefits. I'm constantly craving (Me time). I'm so busy all the time, Iam constantly with people at work, that I really need that down time for my family and myself. Time to start to enjoy life again. One day at a Time And this too shall pass(I mean that in a positive way) Sometimes when I'm going through a crapy time I say that to myself. ANd it is true......everything does pass. regards to all :bun5
