falling......

I feel like I am falling...I "celebrated" my 6 year wedding anniversary the other day... it was hard... because as many of you know my husband has been unfaithful... and I chose to give it a second try. What many of you don't know is that he went bankrupt 2 years ago... and it was very hard. On the night of our anniversary after 1 bottle of wine, my husband admitted to me that he had not made 4 mortgage payments and they had sent him a foreclosure warning and told him he must write a hardship letter. Guess who had to write the letter? me... and it was not easy.. as I do not do any of the finances...Do you know that people charge you on the Internet for sample hardship letters.. I could make some money on my blog...So I have been overwhelmed with a feeling of frustration, falling and forgiveness... I did not help my husband get into this current debt.. and he took a budget class 2 years ago... I believed he had it under control.. I asked him several times if he wanted me to help him do the budget and finances. I am torn between if I should stay or leave... I don't have to have a house I can have an apartment.. but I want more for my son... a neighborhood... a yard....I don't want to make this a lengthy post whining... I just wanted to state some of my feelings.. and why my posts have been show short or non-existent. I know it's difficult on one income... but my income in the past only covered some groceries and "free" daycare... It did pay for things like my son's school pictures... and other little extra's like the book fair.. that my husband said was NOT in our budget.. I am working some part-time hours... to help... but it seems it is already to late... I am sure his pride got in the way, but he could have told me after he missed the first payment?? Don't you agree???
  I promised you all the pumpkin turkey chili... so without further ado....

Wow that is alot for one to have to take in all over dinner on your anniversary! I am so sorry to hear this! I know it probably leaves lots of worry on your pretty little head that you don't need. I know with our medical problems stress is absoultely the worse thing for it!! I pray that all works out and your husband is able to get out of this financial bind and you won't have to worry anymore! Wow that is a tough spot for you to be in! Sorry you are going through so much
Try to hang in there
I love your blog look
