    I appreciate all the ideas here.

    I'm sick of feeling sorry for myself right now. I'm going to be productive and just take it a day at a time.

    First off let me tell you that I find you very inspiring.Many women in your situation would choose to give up and let the government support them. You are working and providing for your girls.You should be very proud of yourself. Do anything to get through this spot. Check out the food banks, apply for heating funds, , use your frugal knowledge. You can do this.Keep your chin up.

    Oh hon, I'm sorry you are going through this. You will come out stronger. Your girls are beautiful if that is any consolation!

    Please don't get down on yourself. I've been reading your blog and you work so hard for your kids. You're a great mom. Hang in there and take care of yourself. I hope you're able to get that loan from your friend.

    I did get that loan from a friend which I have to pay back by the of February but my tax refund will take care of that.

    So I did get the important stuff caught up so I don't have to stress now.

    My friend gave me extra money for groceries and my local store has a good buy 1 get 1 free sale going on so I got plenty of groceries.

    An emergency fund would have saved me so that is something I need to get started.

    I fell 100% better now

    Thinking of you and sending prayers for you. From what I've read in the past, you're a terrific selfless mother and your girls are fortunate to have you. This will pass like everything else. The rough spots really stink, though, huh? Don't be down on yourself - you're one strong woman! Be blessed!

    I think we have all felt that we just can't get ahead. I know I am feeling that way.
    I hope things get better soon.
