you just want to crawl in a hole and never come out? Ladies, I'm about ready to have a breakdown! Dh's stupid paycheck didn't show up AGAIN! I just can't take this any more!! He's looking for a new job and booking lots of photography gigs but most of them aren't for a few months. He's staying at this job for now because (assuming they're paying the premiums) at least we've got insurance. This is really serious... I'm at the point where I just don't want to do anything. It's all I can do to get up in the morning, take a shower, and get the kids where they need to go. I have no motivation at all! I know I should at least keep the house up and make sure everyone has clean clothes so that home is a refuge but I have a really hard time convincing myself to do it.
Anyone have any advice? I'm thinking maybe I should see if I can find some seasonal work to get us through but I haven't even seen any signs up lately. What (if anything) should we tell the kids?

I'm so sorry. Now, I haven't read much else today, so I have to ask. Did the check that was dated the 31st actually arrive? And then he should have been paid again today, right? Honestly if I were you I would be finding some kind of seasonal job.....tis the season! I would just start hitting up as many retail stores as I could....and bonus, they usually have an employee discount which could help with holiday shopping.
I sure hope that he finds something else that pays well soon, or that this gets all figured out. How di they expect people to work for free?!? Lots of hugs.
Thanks for the hugs!!! I need them. Yes, the first missing check did show up - yesterday. The check from today didn't but I just got an email from dh and at least insurance is paid up for November. It turns out they have a major client that owes them lots of money and until they get that straightened out (no idea when) things are going to be tight. Even though the news wasn't good, I feel better knowing what's going on.
Thanks again!
Thanks Tam!!! The money from the paycheck that he should have received on the 16th showed up yesterday so at least we got the mortgage and some bills paid. He was supposed to get paid again today and didn't. I just got an email from him and insurance is covered but until the major client pays up, not much else forthcoming - no timeframe on that either but at least I know where things stand. Bare minimum spending for now. I can do that!
Thanks for your advice on what to tell the kids. I'm never quite sure where the line is on how much detail to give. Evan likes to know everything and Megan is too young to have to worry so much. Think we'll have to have two separate discussions.
Oh sweetie--you have to be getting me!
