Dh and I received the news on Wednesday that his warehouse is closing down next week. Though I know deep down inside that this is for the best (Dh was very unhappy at his job) I am very scared! He has some interviews lined up, and has alot of friends in his industry. It is still so scary though, nevertheless.

This also means that we will have to go on public assistance for a while. Unemployment and savings just will not cut it. I'm not ashamed to recieve the help, but it is still humbling nevertheless. I grew up on public assistance, and I really didn't want my girls to ever be on it. :(

Oh well, sorry to babble. At least we have 30 days of medical coverage. The girls meds are stocked up, and dh and I will get check ups before the insurance runs out. We also have a roof over our head, and each other.

Thanks for listening :)

{{hugs}} for Kelly. :)

{{{{hugs}}}} so sorry you have to go through this. We did this past October and it was very scary.

Come here and vent anytime you want okay, will be here for you.

I'm so sorry to hear that. if there is anything I can do to help, feel free to ask.

So sorry to hear the news. Hope your dh finds work soon. :angel:

I'm so sorry to hear about your dh's job. However, you really seem to a have a positive attitude and a good plan. I am confident you will all come through this okay.

Good luck, as you said, the change may be for the best--change brings growth.

sorry to hear about it all. Sounds like it is going to be rough for a while but you will get thru it. keep smiling.

Hope all is well...I've been there....Now I look back at that time as a great learning experience. We know we made it through and can again if we have too. Everybody has different strengths in bad times...nurture these in yourself and your spouse!

Sorry to hear about the job loss but like you said it could be for the best in the long run. Sometimes situations that seem scary at the time can really turn into blessings. {{{{HUGS}}}}

I'm sorry Kelly... Good luck.:) You'll be in my thoughts...

You'll get through this. We're all pulling for you! :hugz:

Just wanted to say that I am thinking about you and your family.
*hugs*

I just wanted to say good luck to you and your family...I lost my job in January due to a office closure....and it really has turned out to be a blessing for us... I mean we have struggled some but we sat down and decided what we could live without....like caller id, expanded cable, etc....it has been hard but worth it for me and dh... you sound like you are very optimistic and that will help you sooo much during this time. I just recently found a home-based job (Southern Living at Home) and am sending out resumes for part-time jobs... we found that once we gave up the things we didn't really need and made it on one income +unemployment that now I can just work part-time.... sorry so long...just wanted to say that I hope things turn out for you the way they have for me and my family..
Good luck to you and let me know if you need anything!! :)

Sending lots of (((((HUGS))))) and prayers during this difficult time.

I'm sorry to hear about your dh's job but I do hope and pray he finds something soon :)

Noone likes to be on public assistance,but it's there to help you :)

Hope everything goes ok.Please vent here anytime.We're all here to listen :)

Tighten your belt, keep up the great attitude and everything WILL work out!:angel:

When one door closes, another door opens. God bless and you will be in my prayers.

Kahtis youcouldn't have said it better.Kelly all of us are there for you.;)

I'm where you are, too. We have another month until DH is officially laid off, but hours are being cut now and will continue to be cut until his plant closes. Hugs, and if you'd like to talk, pm me. :)

Just wanted to let you know you and your family are still in my thoughts and prayers. I remember your dh had some interviews lined up. I hope they go well and that he has good news soon.

In the meantime, know that there are many people who have you in their thoughts and prayers. I know from reading your posts, that you have a wonderful spirit and I know there is not much in life that will drag you down.

Please keep us posted. Good Luck! :) yvonne
