I have postings under other headings on this site and today I'm now getting familiar with this section

I am or should I say was? a stay at home mom. I have two young boys I and that i'm thankful for and are healthy.

My husband was laid off on Thursday. We are blessed to have enough money to last us 3 months for health insurance and pay our mortgage (maybe more - we need to run some numbers). I am scared out of my mind for our future and I'm staying strong and doing everything possible to help my husband / us get through this.

We are going to file for unemployment and it looks like we will qualify for the reduced rate for cobra (35% instead of the full boat ) .

Yesterday my heart was breaking when my son asked if we could buy a book at the store. I feel so sad right for my children. I'm going to have to ask for donations for clothes for my children .

Thankfully we have a great library for books and a salvation army near by.

I'm not writing this for a pitty party I'm just trying to get this out somewhere. I need to stay strong for my family.
