Babies: 0 - 3 Months

small vent.. DH still no job

So not to mention being an emotional wreck anyway (here i was thinking hey, i haven't cried in a week..go me!).  Dh had an interview this morning.  Well, he got there, person had a family emergency so DH came home.

Dh called guy at 3:30 to make appointment to meet up tomorrow morning.  an hour later, guy calls to say welp, president of the company just flew in, and is having an internal fill in the spot, sorry.

We're on week 5 now with DH out of work.  I'm now down to my 60% of my paycheck weeks for Short Term Dis.  I only get 900 every 2 weeks...then take insurnce out of it, which is now 775 every two weeks.  now do 60%.  Now try to pay a 1500.00 per month mortgage, 255.00 car payment, 100.00 power bill, 116.00 car insurance, 200.00 credit card bill. 

Doesn't calculate out very well.   Now i'm even more in a ball of tears.  DH has applied to over 30 jobs in the area, only heard back from about 7, most saying "thanks but no thanks, we went with someone else".

Now we have the baby.  We're applying for WIC but i have to go to the OB to get info filled out...which i missed the appointment.

I"m going to break down.  This is really sucking a lot.

  • I am so sorry!  I know exactly how you feel... my husband is out of work 10 months now!!  He is going to school at night, but we are almost out of savings and it is so terrifying.  Before he got laid off he was making 6 figures and now.... he can't find anything making half that!  We are in a lot of trouble...and I am scared.  I went back to work right away ....
  • Is your DH collecting unemployment??

  • yep DH has applied for unempmloyment.  FL is dumb, and the max per week he can get paid out for is 274.00.   This doesn't even amount to 1/2 of what he was pulling in every 2 weeks, but yes, it is "something" at least.
