My head is pounding for you! Not that you have any stress or anything! And girl, no coffee beans!? Your day cannot start out hopeful with those circumstances! Sending a little love your way ; )
I feel ya, girly. Just keep hangin' in there... this too shall pass.
Being without insurance SUCKS. We were there for about 5 months. Then got Goof on State medical and us on another state program (way reduced cost medical). We start insurance through DH's work next month.
It is such a pain in the rear. As is unemployment and not having enough money to live.
Good luck! There are many of us out there who have been in that situation (and who still are).
I completely feel your pain. Hang in there.

Omg, I am so sorry. I hope something, anything comes out of those resumes.
Hang in there hooker. The numbers are bad - no doubt about it. But hang in there, girl, hang in there.
Oh dear!! My goodness I am sorry.
Number of prayers said for you by me:1
And counting!
Blessings-

I know that *HUGS* and *LOVE* and *PRAYERS* can't make this better right now, but please know that we love you and are praying for things to turn around soon for you all...
Much love my friend...

oh honey, my heart goes out to you.
Number of times the phone rings a DAY and I don't answer it? 100.
yeah. I hear ya.
Oh my love, welcome to my world! Dumb thing is America thinks it is the best country in the world but all you guys are struggling! At least we can see a doctor for free!
Good wishes sent your way! We are broke too, irrespective of insurance!
Oh, this was my entire year last year. I'm so so sorry, and I cried when I read this because the grief and hardship is still so raw within my own heart. My husband was out of a job for a whole year, I worked on and off part time (not making much), and we had a baby with no insurance (and no job). I went a whole year never knowing how we were going to buy diapers, or eat the next day. But God always provided, and we found a way to survive. We filed for Bankruptcy this summer. We are making our way through it, and all I can say is to keep getting on your knees and keep praying, because the Lord listens, and hears. For me, it was such a growth experience, learning to live on so little, and being thankful for my family. I'll be praying for you and your family, and health for you guys so that you don't even need that insurance! Hugs and prayers!
Those are scary numbers indeed Lissa, I can understand living on one income and it can be soo stressful.
Here's another number to make you feel a little less alone: dozens of sisters and bloggy friends that are lifting you up and praying for good things to come!
Stay warm and safe...it's scary times!
I'm so sorry Lissa. Those are numbers that no one wants to see or even contemplate. There is nothing worse than running out of money before running out of month, we've been there and it leads to stress, and marital discord and general unwellness.
I so wish that there was something that I could do. Of course I can't do much, but I will lift you and your family up in prayer.
There sure has to be better days ahead for you, and we will all be right there with you celebrating when that happens!
Lissa, I am so sorry! I will keep you and your family in my prayers!
Oh Lissa, I'm so sorry you have to go through this. I think if we are all honest, most of us have been through something like this or similar to it. I know we did and it all worked out. Just try to have faith. Hugs and prayers!!
I just know that something will give, I know it! I'm so sorry you're going through this, I'm saying some prayers for all of you! Much love to you.
OK, after reading that list, I just have to say....THAT SUCKS ASS! On your behalf, I am shaking my fist at LIFE and cussing like a sailor. I am so sorry that life is so difficult for you right now.
It will get better. It will.
Love you, skanky hooker : ).
Oh hooker. No fun. I'm unemployed since February, and just recently became insured after 7 harrowing months without. IT JUST PLAIN SUCKS.
Big huge hugs. If I could send you a beer with olives, I would (that's you, right?)
By the way, I have decided to declare 2009 the sh*ttiest year EVER.
Except that I got to know you hookers better. That's a GOOD part.
I know things will get better. Lots of love, hooker. {{{HUGS}}}
damn. I don't envy where you live at.all.
After reading this post I think you needed the vodka and dancing. Hugs to you. I can't imagine your stress...
