Son of a %^^$%#$@**!!!
I realize everything happens for a reason but I'm having some trouble keeping the faith and I am so disappointed. As I was walking through Walmart about an hour ago with a cart full of groceries, I get a phone call from my DH. He proceeds to ask me whether I want the good or bad news first. I stopped dead in my tracks..he tells me he got laid off of work today. Mind you, I recently quit my job because he'd been with this company for going on 6 months now so I figured it was more than permanent and it'd be ok to focus strictly on school. So here we are with a 2 week severance package completely stunned. He had no idea! This was a great job..he had a company truck, company gas card, cell phone, and was bringing in the most money he'd ever made. Needless to say, I almost had a panic attack in Walmart because it took my breath away...I have NO IDEA what we are going to do..I literally wanted to just abandon my cart in the middle of Walmart and run out screaming crying...
Lately it just seems that everything is snoballing down..my mom just got diagnosed with kidney failure (the only kidney she has left is only functioning at 12 percent) and we had just decided to start trying for a baby. I'm guessing our trip to New Orleans this weekend for our anniversary will have to be postponed as well..I couldn't see either of us having a good time with all this stress going on..AHHH! Sorry y'all..just had to vent..
I just want to know things will work out and we will come out better than we were before...

I'm so sorry, I know it seems like everything happens at once when it happens!
It'll get better, just keep faith!
When it rains, it pours. I'm SO sorry that ya'll are going through this. I can't even begin to imagine how freaked out you must be. But it sounds like you are already getting back on your feet (go you!) so just take it one day at a time. It WILL get better!

You need this more than me right now.
Oh hon, I'm so sorry to hear the news. Trust me, I know what it feels like when everything goes wrong all at once. Hang in there and know that everything really does happen for a reason - I hope the reason for this is that your H has an even more fantastic job waiting for him! Big hugs and prayers coming your way.
Thank you ladies! I appreciate the kind words! Sure makes me feel better! He signed up for unemployment on their website last night. He was given a severance package by his company so he can't draw it until that's done, I believe, but he has atleast filed and has a case number. I also was called back by the bank and I'm just waiting on all the paperwork to go through and then I'll be back in the swing of things with them..I'll keep y'all posted!
Thanks for the
Shoe! DH and I could not cancel our New Orleans trip for our anniversary because we booked through Priceline, so I plan on having quite a few of those this weekend to let loose..lol
Good! You guys could totally use the time away!
