Just read a few things that may catch your interest or sign up to get the emails. I read articles and then forward them on to my kids. <br /><br />Hope everything works out for you and your family.Joan Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05018003006851997065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344391170247986481.post-86292420870924280342011-07-26T18:06:12.206-07:002011-07-26T18:06:12.206-07:00I feel for you darlin', but hang in there, and...I feel for you darlin', but hang in there, and know that there are ALOT of people on your side. My only word of advice is what you probably already know... Learn from the mistakes that you made, pick yourself up by your bootstraps, and move on. Beating yourself up over everything only makes you feel worse. I agree with Melani, it takes a lot of courage to post your issues on a public forum. If you need anything, send me a note in FB.. I will help in any way that I can.. Everything will work out, even though right now it seems like everything is going wrong. Stay strong!! Like I said before, if you need something just holler!!Theodora Staceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475207915222977460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344391170247986481.post-20211294813032592702011-07-24T15:31:32.035-07:002011-07-24T15:31:32.035-07:00It takes a big person to admit a mistake and a big...It takes a big person to admit a mistake and a bigger one to put it on a public forum for the world to see. I'm proud of you for admitting it.<br /><br />What you need to do now is focus on gathering yourselves together and getting out of the situation. What's done is done, all you can do now is move on. Save what you can. See if there's something you can get rid of or downgrade. Have a garage sale and get what money you can.<br /><br />You, like me, have a room full of scrapbooking/stamping supplies we can use without having to go out and buy the latest of EVERYTHING and we can share our toys. When I'm out, I tell myself that. Yes, there will be projects you might need something for. Limit yourself to a small amount of money.<br /><br />Once you get your housing situation squared away and your bills paid off, limit your activities, but don't cut them out completely. You still need to have fun and have a little enjoyment in your life, but make it a common sense decision. Don't go beyond your means. I've had to learn the same lessons. I've come to appreciate what I have more and now I don't just go out and buy everything, I'm MUCH more selective and can leave a store without actually making a purchase.<br /><br />I've also developed a relationship with God. That has made a HUGE impact. I'm a different person now than I was a couple of years ago. I like the person I am now. I'm not so materialistic. Maybe this is for you, maybe not. If you want to delve into it more, I'm more than willing to join you in your journey.<br /><br />I love you guys. I know you can get out of this. It will be hard and not so fun, but you can do it. I am here to help you and support you as much as I can. I wish my days weren't so full now so I could come see you more often. I am here for you anytime, day or night. You know how to reach me. I will send out a prayer for you guys.<br /><br />Things will get better, I know it will. Remember, you're all together and your all have your health. CJ's healthy and doing well. I know you're down and out, but it will get better!! I know you're down, but you will be UP soon. A new, better adventure is on your way!! You will find a place to live, you will get your bills paid off, but remember, it will take time. Be patient and know that you have people rooting for you!!Miss Melanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02379946699397434591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3344391170247986481.post-23925098540040569132011-07-24T15:21:17.438-07:002011-07-24T15:21:17.438-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Miss Melanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02379946699397434591noreply@blogger.com
