I lost one of my jobs
I just got terminated from one of my work at home jobs. There is now 1 company I work for. I've always needed both of these jobs to make the money I needed. I was told i'm welcome to reapply which I did. If I can get hired again that will be great.
lost a job, no child support....blah this is not good.
I'm not going to worry or stress. Worse thing that would happen is that me and my girls would move in with my parents, it would be crowded.
Then again maybe a better job will come my way. I'm staying positive

That couldn't have come at a worse time. But don't worry because I just know that something better will come your way. When one door closes.................

i think just staying positive right now will help you through this rough time.
depending on the hours of the job lost, maybe this gives you a little more time to spend with your girls?? maybe see it that way.
if not, then, keep on keepin' on... that's all any of us can do.
something better will come along... keeping positive will almost ensure that.
we'll keep our fingers crossed for you.

It would be a little more time with my girls since I mainly worked this job while they were sleeping.
The bad thing is the job I have I can only make about $300 tops a week so I needed the other job to bring in more money when needed.
In the colder weather my bills are almost $900 not including extras. As soon as I don't have to use heat my bills should only be about $700.
