Doing Ok

We are doing ok. Today was the day the house would be sold. I don't know when we will hear if it sold and when we have to be out. I assume we will have 30 days. I started actively looking today and tomorrow I will call our state helpline. With renting, they do credit checks. And it doesn't get much worse than a foreclosed home. So we will shall see where that leads.
Other than this feeling in the pit of my stomach I am doing ok. Thinking of calling the doc to up my anti anxiety meds. Not sleeping, not really eating. I flip flop from sadness to anger to numbness. Anger seems to be topping the list right now. But kota has been super sweet lately. He is very in tune with my emotions. I can't tell you how many times I heard today, I love you mom! Can't beat that now can you?
Its been a week since I took tae kwon do, hoping to return tomorrow. I will see how I feel. I might just take a break all this week too. Funny, none of the students has asked why I am not taking class. I shouldn't let that bother me, its childish. But the other parents have asked. Some I tell the real reason to. My friend D was talking to me tonight during class. She just had surgery and she is finally starting to feel better. So I told her what was going on with me. She reached over and hugged me, tears in her eyes and promised to pray for us. And that is the response people are giving me. All of you here have been so supportive and just knowing you all are thinking of us and praying for us, it really helps me get through the day.
I read some really good blogs today and commented on a few. I am just not up to really commenting yet. I feel kind of detached at the moment. But I just love hearing what is going on with all of you and hearing good things. I loved reading anniel's blog about the storm! And Kristy maybe having another job oppurtunity. It really brightens my day to read all of you. So don't mind me if you see I have visited but not commented. Know that I am cheering for you too!

I didn't know that you had to move out. What about all your animals? I hope you can find a place that accepts the animals.

Chin Up, Tits Out Mary!

Mary, I'm sooo sorry. Why didn't you call me? STrike that, I should have called you. I've been through so much crap over the last month, that I'm not calling anyone either. God will work this out, we have to believe in Him and that all things work together for those that love Him. Hang in there my friend. I'll pray for you tonight. God bless you and yours. Deb

It's easier said than done to be strong inside in times of desperation. You must realise this road your going down does have a turning to a new beginning even though you feel like it doesn't. Every road has bumps and pot holes in it, but I know y'all are strong enough to pull yourselves out and keep going. One step at a time Mary and gt there. We'll be here all the way - your not going through this alone.

Mary, you will get through this. My friend recently lost his house, but tells me he is actually happier renting. No snow shoveling. No mowing/watering the lawn. Anytime something breaks, it's someone else problem. I'm praying for the best for you. Strength, hugs and hope coming your way.

Hi Mary. I am sorry to hear your news. I just got back online today.. and I'm here to stay. Anyway, I've been through "forclosure" and alot more. You will get through it.. just hang in there. It's too bad you weren't closer. We just moved into a new house, so the trailer is being trashed out for scrap in the next few days. You could've had that free for awhile till you got back on your feet. Mary.. think of this.. Not many months ago I was homeless.. then I went to jail.. then I had all sorts of other problems. Today, I am in a very nice home, new baby, and all is good. Things change, and sometimes fast. I'll be praying for ya!!

I had to short sell my home when times were real bad a few years ago. It was very hard to leave the house I thought was going to be an "investment" but it all turned out just fine. I rent now which in a way is much better. When things break, someone else gets to deal with it!!! I'm sure you will get through this just fine. You should try to get back to class though. Exercise is the best cure for depression.

HUGS

The Scriptures day - that God doesnot give us any more than we can bear. Take solice in prayer and try to get this out of your mind as soon as you can. We have all had things in our lives that we thought we couldn't stand, but we do and life goes on. Love you. Nena

Mary you will get over this, I promise you. I have been there and gotten over it. OK I saved my house by a fluke and the skin of our teeth, but we lived on a knife edge for quite some time wondering what was going to happen to it. I know others who have lost thier homes and are now living quite happily without the stress that the debts had on them.

Take care , and go to the doctor for medicational help. That is what they are there for. Seek counseling if you need to . Don't bottle your emotions up, it's no good for you or your family. That goes for hubby too.

You know I'm thinking and prayer for you all *big squishy hugs*

Keep your chin up, Mary. You are a sweetheart, and the three of you will get through this really difficult time. We are all thinking and praying for you.

Mary, I have been sitting here thinking of what to say. You are a dear person who shouldn't have to be going through things like this. You are a victim of the economy and it is just so hard to reason that out in our minds... Of course, you have ALL of our prayers. I won't say Don't worry, because I know you are... but you never know what will happen to help you... Take care.
comment by sunlight on Aug 19, 2008 7:16 PM ()
You take your time Mare, just read if that's all you can do. A year from now this won't seem as bad, but those are just words..I know, but it's true. Like I said, sometimes it is the only way to "start fresh", and start over.
comment by cindy on Aug 19, 2008 7:04 PM ()
I am so very sorry that you are having to go through this and deal with the emotional rollercoaster as well. It is so sad watching this happen to good, hard working Americans. I really hope that something happens to bring some ease and comfort to you. Maybe like Kristilyn said, possibly the new owner will let you rent the house.
comment by jennrud on Aug 19, 2008 6:49 PM ()
You have been in my thoughts all day.I am praying extra prayers for you and your family.I bet your heart melts everytime Kota says"I love you Mom".Laurie

iam so sorry Mary, be praying for you.
comment by lizzieann on Aug 19, 2008 6:10 PM ()
I know it's a cliche but there is a reason for everything and this will all turn around for you--just hang in there--don't raise your anti anxiety medicine--that will not help in the long run--just get into the love KJota and hubby are showing you and show them your love--another clihe but true--all you need is love (and a little chocolate!!!)
comment by greatmartin on Aug 19, 2008 6:07 PM ()
oh, or maybe the new owner will just charge you rent? I mean ya never know...
comment by kristilyn3 on Aug 19, 2008 6:03 PM ()
awe... you are too sweet...
I am anxiously awaiting what you hear... I mean seriously, what if it doesn't sell??? Can you stay? With your new job can you negotiate something? I am so clueless on owning a house... But I really and truly do hope that it works out for you! There HAS TO be a way!!!
