I'm so afraid right now.....

NH Glenda really? Where in NH? We'd love to have you in our state :) If you are looking anywhere near me I'd be happy to help you research housing options and could ask around as well. Housing is CHEAP by me... let me know :)

Gosh, I don't remember the name of the town.  I know it's right across from VT and I know it's a couple hours from Keene.  And yeah, if NH happens I'll be sure to ask for help in that department!

NH would be sweet since it's close to MIL in ME and she's not been doing well, and also because it's close to my son in upstate NY who I usually get to see a whooping once a year.......and if I get a new copy of my BC I could shoot through Canada to come visit my Mom and shave a couple hours off the trip.

I really WANT NH to happen.  DH really wanted Atlantic City NJ to happen, but I had some serious reservations about the cost of living there.  NH looks FAR more reasonable. And, NJ didn't happen, so sometimes my gut is right.   And he's excited about NH as well, for a number of reasons.

Ideally, we could pack up and all go together and just hang out in the RV until we can get into a place.  Short term I can deal with that.  It's the long term not knowing and actually being homeless that is scaring the tar out of me right now.

Near Keene ?

 New Hampshire is a state that has great camping places. Surely understand not wanting to make a career out of it!  But it may be a good place to begin.

(Watertown is just a few minutes west of Boston)

 few hours from keene and on the border with VT... ummm littleton, lancaster, plymouth? Hmm that description you gave could put you right near me if you mean a couple hours north of keene. Neat! Keep me informed!

Sending you good luck vibes from NH! 

Lebannon!  Probably misspelled that horribly.  I just wish we would hear one way or another, and if not there, that something ELSE will come through quickly.  My nerves are just shot today.

I'm really uneasy.  The son went out for a bit this morning, now everyone has gone out.  I know logically that even if they are filing for eviction, that does take some time.  And I'm probably being foolish, but I've got a terrible sense of dread right now.

I'm whining and I apologize.  I am so not used to being in control of my own destiny and it's a little tough to deal with.

You have no reason to apologize and every reason to whine a bit.  I'm the same way as you as far as struggling when I don't feel in control. When DH was out of work for a year and a half, I had such a difficult time accepting that there wasn't a whole lot I could do about the situation. I really had to have faith and I drove home most nights asking God to give me peace and calm that all would work out as it should. I also said the Serenity Prayer about a bazillion times . There were many times when I honestly didn't see a light at the end of the tunnel but things did turn around and so much for the better. Still, it was a long tough journey and so I do know how you're feeling. I just don't want you to lose hope. Be sure to take extra special care of yourself thru these difficult times.

Peace!

If you don't like Florida I vote Massachusetts then ;o) We have a HUGE job market right now... it's just crazy! If you or your husband are in the IT industry let me know and I'll get you a job!

I pm'd you.  I'll keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

The prayers and good vibes seem to be helping.  Not on the job front yet, but at least with my new house mates.  They were gone a lot today, and then this evening the son is talking about getting the RV running.  I'm certain we've got some fuel line freezeup going on, DS insists that it's the fuel pump.  But, what happen was a week of below zero temps when it was really low on gas.  His best buddy is coming over tomorrow and they're going to work on it.  I put the dry gas or whatever in it and about 10 gallons of gas, a few weeks ago, but DS kept insisting I was wrong and that I shouldn't put all FOUR cans in it.  The son had us put it all in, we'll put gas in tomorrow (using big gas cans), and since he knows what he's doing, this should be a quick and easy fix.  Even if it IS the fuel pump, I'll have two mechanics to work on it, and all I'll have to do is buy the part.  That's a big relief.  They are being really NICE and so far, pretty quiet.  Sure hope they stay out of the beer tonight and it STAYS quiet.  He's getting ready to put a trickle charger on the NEW battery that's getting weak from not being used too.

Glenda I am so sorry to here this news. SD isn`t so bad (choke) you wouldn`t have to worry about over population of people. I know it is farther from your Son and your Mom but if by some chance it was out in the Rapid City area you just may get to like it there. They are in the banana belt so in the winter a lot of times all you have to wear is a long sleeved shirt outside. Anyway I will be praying that you and your family get good news sooner then soon. Job - house - new house mates - RV. Stay strong. Things Will work out. Remember God will not put a person through anything more then they can endure. I believe he does come close though at times. I wish you the best.

Wow, Glenda, I'm really sorry to hear all of this and you have my thoughts, vibes and well wishes for the right opprtunity to come DH's way and for any and all breaks necessary to alleviate your fears.

Gosh,I just came across this now---it's hard to comprehend. A person doesn't realize how lucky they are , especially after reading your crisis.I'm so sorry for you and your family and will keep you in my prayers.

How wierd.  Rapid City is exactly where we are talking about!  Banana belt huh?  Never heard of that, but I could do with winters that aren't quite so bad for a change!

I have been so worn down by this winter, likely a combination of the really excessive snow fall and not working.  But when it snows every day for two weeks and money is tight, hiring a guy to plow isn't automatic, and talk about cabin fever!  We are getting even more this morning.  Lovely lake effect snow.....but we are 20 miles from the lake so it doesn't seem real fair!  And it is always worse HERE than on the actual lake.  Go figure.

I am at the point of totally not caring where we go......so long as it isn't the deep south again.  That weather is really hard on me.  But I'd even go there if we could go FAST!  I'll find a way to come see Mom frequently, no matter where we end up.

"They" were pretty much fine last nite.  Not so much drinking, not so much noise, although the dogs (theirs) got yelled at a lot.  The poor things are locked up in the furnace room most of the time and only get out twice a day for walks, so yeah, they are going to be antsy and probably not terribly well behaved.  It bothers me to hear the dogs screamed and cussed at.  We'll see today if they actually follow through on the RV or cleaning up the mess in the garage.  My stuff is pretty well buried right now so I couldn't move it anyplace if I wanted to.
