When it rains, it pours... Just a vent.

I am naturally a very happy person. Not much can keep me down. Although, in the last 3 months there has been more sh*& going on and I'm just at my wits end. We sold our old home (got a great price for it thankfully), bought a new beautiful home in a great area with great schools (but more expensive). Then we had a miscarriage the week we moved in (I was 12 weeks along), my group at work was re-org'd and we were scrambling to see where we would land with new roles which was VERY stressful at a time when I just wanted to crawl into a hole. I have a new job now (same company) but it's been quite the ramp up when I have zero energy to put into it. Then, we found out that my mom needed to have a mass removed (turned out non-cancerous thank God) and that my daughter needed some minor preventative surgery too. Still surgery?! My poor daughter and I have been sick on and off for over two months (I was tested for mono but thankfully don't have it) and two days ago we found out that my husband's company is reorg'ing and his job is being changed to something very technical for which he is not trained. So he's out of a job come January 15th. I'm scared because we just purchased this nice more expensive home and it's just the worse possible timing (I realize it's always bad timing though)... I look around and I realize how much worse things could be and how very damn lucky we are but I can't help feeling sorry for us (sad I know). Just need to make it until Christmas vacation... Just hanging on....

Thank you! PS Love Actually is my favorite movie of all time.

Wow that is a lot of major stress in a short time period. So sorry for your loss and all the craziness. Sounds like you could use a break - a mini vacay or even a date night with DH or just an afternoon at the spa. Vent away, and I hope life gets better for you!

Agreed. Just hang in there and do your best to take care of yourself and your family. I hope things improve soon!

I'm so sorry you are going through all of that. You sound like a tough mama though! Are there any close family/friends that you can lean on right now? I hope things improve for you soon and that your H can find a job quickly!

I'm so sorry for everything that's going on. It does seem like all the bad stuff hits all at once sometimes, and that does suck. Hopefully you can find a little pocket of peace somewhere amidst all the madness. I agree with beaubecca- have a little staycation or a date night with the stipulation that you don't talk about any of your problems. Just get away for a little bit. It won't solve everything, but hopefully it will give you just a moment to gather your strength and your sanity.

{{{HUGS}}} to you, Mama!
