Thank you all. Things ended up getting better. I'm still not quite right as rain, but I'm working on it. I've been really stressed and have been getting back-logged in work. But I'm feeling more human.
I'm still stressed about my account being overdrafted, which my dear hubby hasn't helped me with (I wouldn't be in the situation if we'd planned out more before his...

Today is just one of those days where I wonder why I even got up.
I'm trying to just smile and get through it. Who knows if I can make the best out of days like this, maybe something good will happen... but it just started off bad, and hasn't gotten much better.

I hope your day got better.

Yuck and yuck. I also hope the day improved! 
My hubby just got home from a 10 day trip to Central America Wednesday night. He has so much motivation to get things done this summer that it's become contagious. We're doing a major spring cleaning the likes that this house has never seen since my roommate moved in 8 years ago... We're cleaning, tidying, scrubbing the walls and floors too. My back and arms...

Alan came home from Guatemala/Honduras safely. He got home about 11:30pm last night... At 2am he texted me asking if I was still up. "Yup, looking at boats" "I'm coming over" "Ummmm... Ok" So, he came over and spent the night. Today, he decided we were cleaning the house. When I say "cleaning" I don't mean tidy up and dust kind of cleaning... I mean...

I'm really working on being ok. I know it sounds silly, but it's true. I've allowed myself to get really worked up over... well, over everything.
So, I'm working on getting my head together. If I'm going to get out of the situation I'm in, I need to get my head together. When you're down on your luck, the only way to get out is...

Best of luck! Hope you figure everything out
I'm so stressed and furious.
Everything in my life keeps going back and forth. One minute we're talking about the house, the next a boat... and I'm just supposed to go along with it happy as a lark. I really can't deal with this.. Ok, let me explain...
Things have nearly fallen through with the house. We'd have to come up with an additional $3400...

That just sounds like a horrible, horrible situation. I have a question: how does having a house provide stability if you are struggling to keep affording it? I ask that not to be unkind, but just becuase it sounds like there is something about a house (or boat) that feels really different to you then renting a place does, and that is a factor it sounds like neither Alan nor Steve understand. Maybe finding a way to articulate that could help. Also, would renting for a year and building up more of a down payment help at all or feel like an option? Just as a plan to get you precisely wher eyou want to be. Again, I know this is important to you, so I am just offering counterpoints to consider and better understand.

I will write more in a message soon, but the overall message: do what you have to do for YOU!! (and the girls, of course).
My world is spinning again. What the fuck am I doing???
We just got informed that we're going to need to give a $3000 Earnest Money Deposit. No one ever mentioned this before... so we're looking at $11000 with down payment and closing cost and now $3000 for the EMD... Yeah, here let me write you a check or $14000... NOT! I mean if we'd...

Oh, honey, this is awful. I am so sending you whatever resolution is best for you and all parties concerned. This is just the pits. lovelovelove.
We went to look at the house today. Went pretty well. She's definitely a fixer-upper, but I think we could make a go of it. We put in a bid...
Yeah, actually, Alan nearly gave me a coronary today. I'm already stressed nearly to my limit and I'm trying to be good and clam and keep going. But between school, the kids, money, worrying about...

Awesome. Keeping my fingers and toes crossed for you.

I'm glad you understand, because I always feel so bad that I don't keep in better touch when I really do care. I was using your sugar scrub on my leggies the other night (it's great for exfoliating before a shave!!) and I thought about you haha
yeah I can't wait to see what the phone looks like in person haha, I don't care about features, but cuteness is a factor haha
yeah and our dads were right... hate to say it. lol. I never thought I could afford it... but it turns out it's not so bad after all!
where's the house that you looked at located??
good luck on that xoxoxoxoxo love youu

xoxoxoxoxo love youuJust got the first real bit of good new about the house. We got a per-approval! I sent it off to our real estate agent after having gotten it. I'm so excited. It's not a "done deal" yet, but it's a step in the right direction!!
'm still worried about Steve, he still hasn't found a job. I'm really hoping something happens on that front....

gah. looking for a place too, one of us has also had a tough time finding steady work too, won't say who
found a place we loved, offer accepted but then the building didn't have necessary financials
should be good time to buy though...make sure you have a good broker & lawyer
good luck!

Hooray for progress! Your positive thinking must be paying off. Are you finding the time you need to work more?
Things are challenging,but there are successes to be had - and you just had one! I hope Steve finds something soon.
