Stressed to the Max!! LONG

How do S.A.H.M.s found peace? I have 23 month old twins, a boy & girl. I have been a S.A.H.M. for two years now. I'm expecting our third child, due in Feb. My husband works, but his work is slow right now. We don't have enough money to pay our bills let alone do anything else for fun. My dad has been a blessing, & is helping us out a lot!! I have two law firms calling me wanting money for credit cards. Our house needs major repairs or I should say updates. For almost a year now we have had an empty bathroom with a tub & sub floor. We have a smaller bathroom we use, which works, but the other really needs to be finished because it's letting cool air out & hot air in the house, plus bugs. That was a project DH got a wild hair & started, but put us in a place that we are stuck in now because of $$$$. Our house has oil heat & we need a new drum because the old one has rusted through on the bottom & leaked all our oil on the ground. Our van has stop running, but my dad lets us use his. My in-laws drive me mad by being stupid. They called us & told us the would visit every other Monday of each week. Then they don't come for the visits, which doesn't bother me, but they were the ones that told us they would visit every other Monday. They didn't ask, they told. They don't call for two weeks & then call DH, who is trying to work two jobs & go to school, & tells him how disappointed FIL is that DH has not called him in the last two weeks & wants to schedule a visit on Friday. They end up coming on Monday. They do a lot more, but I'm not getting into that right now. I need to find a stress free peace of mind before I do something I will regret for the rest of my exsistence. Please help & pray!

I won't give any advice since it sounds like you just needed an ear. I know sometimes it can seem as if everything is piled up on us. I wish you the best and will keep your family in my prayers. This is a great board and a great place to vent or have fun. Welcome to the board!

Thanks to everyone that replied. I was having a really bad day, the day I posted that message. I felt like the world was closing in on me, but my troubles are nothing compared to the people who survived Katrina. Everyone should pray for them.
