    Unhappy Well it is time to worry again.....

    I had hoped that the student loans would last us until the end of April/early May which would have got us almost to graduation (end of May). But I only have a few hundred dollars left in savings and I haven't heard about the burseries yet. Dh is going to financial aid to see about an emergency loan.
    I am working but not alot and the children are taking so much of my time right now.
    I will now have to begin worrying about every penny I spend on food and I won't beable to spend anything extra on anything....We are back down to bare bone basics (not that we have been eating lavishly!) and will have to pull out all my one dollar meal recipes.
    On the bright side....I am all caught up on my bills....but we will now start falling behind again.

    Also, Dh has been so stressed and crabby. He is still spending several nights per week in the car at school.....the presure is on!

    One positive thing is that job postings are beginning to show up on the board and his class has been warned that possible employers will be "dropping by" to talk to the students over the next few weeks..... so please pray for Dh, that a great job is offered to him. We really need it.

    Holly- Hang on there!!
    Have you talked to your town administrator? They sometimes have an emergency fund to help a person out- just like yourself.
    Go in- chin up and ask for some help.
    Food bank?
    Food stamps?

    Hang in there, the end is in sight. What is he studying? Good thing, it sounds as though he can get a job quickly and then you can get caught up again.

    My other favourite saying is hard times can make you Bitter or Better.
