All Cried Out

I'm not quite over my pitty party just yet but "I'm All Cried OUT"...I am mourning the loss of this house and my job all at once.  It was a bit much to take.  I asked my hubby "why does it always happen?"  I mean we will get to a place where we are doing well here and something life changing will happen and mess us all up.

Several years back my husband was diagnosed with diabetes.  He was VERY sick and was out on short term disability for 3 months to recover.  He gets back to work and the co. he gave 10yrs to fires him after being back 30dys.  In those 10yrs he had NEVER received a bad review, never been written up.  He couldn't find a job.  The economy was tanking. 

About 1yr later he finds a GOOD job working for D.E.L.L.
As their store manager.  He was feeling better about himself.  He was running thangs.  I was proud of him.  BUT after 15 months of having a store they close it down.  Poof no job.  He couldn't find a job.  The economy was in the crapper. 

So I get a temp job while Dre was running his store.  It became perminate because I told them hubby lost his job I need the benefits of a full time job.  I need health insurance.  So they offered me the job and I took it.  As the economy and the housing market tanked they started letting people go.  It was mass layoffs.  I was the last hired so I figured they would chuck me.  I should have been looking then.  I made it through the 1st, 2nd and 3rd round.  I thought I had made it.  Then yesterday happened. 3/18/10.  I.WAS.LET.GO.

So all the house hunting and prep. must have been a test run for the real thing.  When ever that is. I am trying to keep my head up and press on.  ALL.MY.LIFE.I'S.HAD.TO.FIGHT!!!
And I'm going to keep on fighting. 

Speak on it ....

Thank you Nerd Girl for your kind words. You and others with there encouraging words have helped me more then you know. It's been a couple of days and I'm not as raw as I was. I mourned the loss of the house more then the job but everything happens for a reason. Right?
