Pam
Sorry about the house.

I wonder if you have looked into renting a house on the government programs too.

We have a couple of rentals that way.

Dear Pam, :hug: :hug: :hug:

Interest rates are going to stay low.
Houses will still be available for low prices for years.
You'll have what you want at some point.

Yeah we're in low income public housing already, and building equity towards a down payment but we have crappy credit. I guess we'll just have to work on that and deal with it until we can qualify for a loan. *Sigh* I am depressed now, things just aren't going the way I want them to and it stinks. There's stuff I don't want to go into but like a pink elephant in the room it's still there no matter what. I feel like crying. *Sigh* It's funny I have a feeling if I start crying I won't be able to stop. :(

Dear Pam,
It stinks when thinks don't go the way we want them to.
I'm sorry that you are unhappy.
When you can, move your focus to something that you have control of -- like planning a nice meal, or crafting a small afternoon project, . . .
. . . . . in other words, something that can bring you immediate satisfaction.

M.

maybe a good cry is what you need, it can be very theraputic.
I am sorry that you are depressed.
Are you going to post some pictures when you feel better?
(((((HUGS))))

Yeah will have to get some pics of us out in the community. When I get them on the computer you know I'll share. :) I am feeling pretty bad right now. I know you all remember how I was so excited about this new program that was gonna help us financially by giving us paid caregiver hours for the kiddo that Jack was gonna work. I swear, at EVERY corner they have put us off, we're not getting that and I just don't care anymore. We're suffering financially and I was so ready for it to get better, now it's looking like it won't. I have tears forming just thinking about it. I really can't be more frustrated then I already am, and the sadness SUCKS. Jack is gonna get a regular job and we'll hopefully get better finances situated soon. But then the state would have to pay twice as much to get a caregiver to come in and help me while Jack is working, but so what...It's either that or Jackie goes to a group home and we break up the family. I just HATE this economy! Sorry it's taken me so long to reply, I just feel like crap emotionally and am sick of struggling with money. :(

Pam, :hug: :hug: :hug:
Do you have access to a therapist?

Sometimes a tdoc can help you reframe an issue that is bothering you.

Dear Pam

i am sorry about the financial straits. it is hard not being able to do simple things that one wants to do, or even meet certain needs. and yes the economy sucks.

(((HUGS)))

I'm so sorry Pam. I can totally understand the frustration and all the other
things. I hope that things can slow down on bad news.

I see my tdoc tuesday. SO I got a call yesterday and the lady we're working with on this stuff told me "I have good news" and apparently Jack CAN work the hours we've been approved for. I am still not holding my breath though. Thanks you all for caring, I know I haven't been around much, I just can't with kiddo home for summer, he goes back Monday but even so I am gonna be working on this state paperwork and whatnot for a few weeks until we get things squared away. Wish us luck that we can make things go our way.
