I'm having a pity party. I am not losing very much weight but it has been a rough road. I am currently homeless and staying with a friend. I got approved for a trailer house but needing $3000 to move in for all the deposits and first months rent. Not too bad maybe in a normal situation but when all you have is $100 and only have 15 days til your kids come home from grandma's it seems undoable. I don't even have a place for my kids to come home too so it doesn't even sound right to say they are coming home. They are coming to a room with a couch and a pallet on the floor. I am working so that is a plus. However there is no help in this state if you are homeless or if you are working and even less when you are both. If I had a home they would help me stay in it. If I wasn't working they would put something towards utility deposits. And they wonder why the suicide rate goes up when the economy goes to shit. HMMMM let's think about this. Well hopefully I live long enough to provide a better life for my kids than a pallet on a floor.
