Overwhelmed

Wonderful summer and enjoying life and as you know just when you start to do that you get hit with a kick in the ass.. sigh... and it has.   My husband has been laid off and no luck finding a job as of yet.  I know we have done this before time and again but this time feels different.  After his brain aneurysm I did a lot of praying and after 3 years we were blessed and he was working again.. but it seems about every 2 years we are doing it again.  He is a good guy and tries hard.. but Iam tired of driving a 20+ year old van that breaks down on the side of the road 3 times a week.  His is even older although the engine was rebuilt in 2000 its feeling its age too.  Im tired of the struggle .. and feel as if I am at my breaking point.  In the last 5 years we have had a 3 day vacation by renting a vehicle and going camping... once in 5 years and I can only remember that far back ... its sad.  Iam trying to keep positive but really need some encouragement I guess..and prayers..  so please if you can find it in your heart to say a few words I would appreciate it.
God bless.

  1. Prayers are coming your way but I have little faith in anything these days.Half step forward, three steps back.Life is an uphill battle and I wish we could coast every now and then.Some manager out there will see the advantage of hiring him.I don't have encouragement so to speak but an ear to listen and an understanding of what you are dealing with.You have family that loves you, no terrible illness to deal with, and a husband who will stand by your side through thick or thin.Those should keep you going and, of course, seeing the sun rise and set each day.So...love and prayers for you.

  2. Thank you so much.. its amazing how good it feels to know someone actually cares and is listening. Sometimes that is all I need to get through the rough spots.
