I'm just having a really hard time today. AF started, so that dang witch is mostly to blame for how down I feel, I'm sure.

DH and I are moving on June 1st, we're renting a condo. It took us forever to get qualified for it because of DH's credit. I didn't find out until the middle of the process that they want a $2000 deposit. I thought it would be closer to $1400.

We had a stressful weekend because DH's parents want us to rent a house from them....a house that they haven't even bought yet! They are buying 2 or 3 investsment properties, but are just now putting offers out. They are offering like 60% of the asking prices, so it's not like they are going to get one any time soon. We need to move on June 1st. No later. We don't have time for stuff like that. Also, the stuff they are buying isn't really that nice and I don't want to live there. AND, the rent wouldn't really be any cheaper than our condo that we are getting, it's not like they would be cutting us a fat deal or anything.

DH and I agreed to just move forward with the condo that we got approved for. It's really nice. I am having a terrible day at work. My boss told me that I can't have a day off to move. My little sister graduates from HS on June 5th, a Friday. I am taking that day off. We won't really be able to move the week of June 1st because I will be too busy at work (magazine going to print that week). I need to hurry up and get it done so that I can take Fri off to go to my sister's graduation. It will work out. So, we were planning to move on Sunday and Monday after we get back from her graduation (it's 3.5 hours away). My boss was asking me about the condo, and when I said I was going to move that monday, he says "absolutely not" ***?! Screw you. It is the most dead time at work and what else am I supposed to do?! I'm already paying for an extra week at the condo even though we can't move until a week later. I'm doing that because I am putting WORK FIRST. It just made me so angry. All I wanted to do all day was go home. I hate him sometimes. I WILL take that Monday off and he can just deal with it. I don't have a friggin choice.

I was looking in our bank account, doing some math. I need to send the landlord that $2000 check in the next couple of days. It's due by May 15th. Too bad DH's take home check that he gets on Friday will be only $500 He usually makes SIGNIFICANTLY more than that. He hadn't sold a car in 2 1/2 weeks. This is the WORST time for him to bring home a check of this size. It will leave us with $98 until he gets paid again on the 25th Not do-able. Not even close. Not only do we have bills do before then, but we have daycare to pay! We need another $1500 to get through this month after we pay the $2k deposit, and there is no guarantee that his next check will be that large. It probably won't be, the way things are going in the car business. I get paid next on the 30th, but that needs to be for NEXT month and our first months rent.

I've though of asking the landlord if we can pay half of the deposit this week, and half next month....but that really don't do us any good. It would just be delaying the inevitable. Usually DH takes home between $3500-4000/month, but he will be lucky to take home like $1500 this month. It's killing us.

I don't know what to do. I am sad. I am stressed out. I hate my job right now. I hate my boss right now.

Sorry. Thanks for letting me get that out. I don't even care how much personal info I just shared. Whatever.

That's alot of stress.

*hugs* I'm really sorry things are so tough right now. I hope things turn up some how!

[HopeWishWait]

I'm sorry you are having such a rough day Hang in there hun

[szczepanski]

I am so sorry you are so stressed out.....I wish there were magic words that could make you feel better. I can't imagine going from $3500 to $500 so suddenly either. Moving is stressful enough without having to worry about work and taking time off and most of all....money.

Money is so the root of all evil. I'm so sorry you are so stressed over it.

(((((((((((SUPER BIG GIRLY SQUISHY BOOB HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))

I'm sorry Bre, money sucks a FAT ONE. If your ILs aren't willing to give you guys a 'break' for doing them a favor and being good rent-paying tenants in their investment property then there's no reason why you should move someplace you don't want to live and have the stress of not knowing where you'll live in less than a month! I think you're making the right choice by moving into the condo versues this unknown place of the ILs. The money thing sucks pretty bad and I hate that your boss is being a douche about allowing you a day to move, that's just the icing on the cake. What day do you have to be out of your house by? Maybe Will could just shoulder the brunt of the moving? That's really frustrating, I hate that you're having a bad day.

oh, and SCREW AF!

Sorry bout your bad day, that is a lot of stress. I hope tomorrow is better and that more moola comes your way. We've all had our fair share of money issues and they SUCK

[bittersweet]

Oh no. It really sounds like you are having a horrible time. I just moved, so I can empathize with the stress it causes. As far as finances goes, maybe its time for Will to get out of sales and get a salaried job. If that is an option. Sales makes it nearly impossible to budget unless you live like he is making 1500 per month all the time, even when he making 5000 a month. I really hope things pick up at his work (i recently bought a corolla...if I lived in N. Cali I would have bought it from him

[midnight_starr]

Sorry you are so stressed.. Money sucks big time.. Things will get better!!!

[A*LOT*OF*HOPE]

Im so sorry you are having such a crappy day!! Money sucks, plain ad simple!!!

[**Jenn**]

I'm so sorry you're having such a tough time right now! Big *HUGS* to you! Things will start looking up soon for you I'm sure but for right now, yes things suck big time! I know the stresses money causes so I feel your pain. I hope you guys get a big turnaround very soon!

[Resi]

After you get over this hump things will start looking a lot better. I'm sorry you are having a rough time right now. I know how tight money can be at times. Big hugs!

[~Caroline~]

I'm sorry things are so difficult right now!

[IamMom]

Hugs Bre.... I wish there was something we could all do for you other than hugs. This too shall pass and you'll be okay. Is there anyone you can borrow the money from in the short-term - or a credit card you can get an advance on? Or an employer advance? There has got to be a way you can get over this hump until your DH gets a big check again? It will all work out....I'm sorry it seems so awful right now...

[Lash]

Its so incredibly overwhelming sometimes, and we've been there alot. Many times not sure how we were eating or how we were making it through the month-- it makes me sick to think about and this summer will be like that for us, not sure how we will fully make it paying for Clint's school

We are getting by, but one time in the last month we had $15 to spend for 2 weeks. Good thing there was gas in both cars!!! Things are definitely looking up now, but Mike has been so sad about not being "a good husband and provider." Sir, do I have clothes, a home, and food to eat? 'Nuff said.

[Alison81]

(((((hugs))))) You have a lot of stress, so I can only imagine how you're feeling right now. I have been there a lot lately, and it's tough. But hang in there, and somehow, someway, it all works out. But anytime you need to vent, go ahead, that helps too!

[..Christine..]

I'm sorry Breanna! Sounds like you are under a lot of stress- just have faith and know that things will get better and always have a way of working out!!!

[Kristen_at_the_lake]

Breanna I'm really sorry that you're having to go through this right now. I hope that something works out for you and quickly.

[Kristen_at_the_lake]

Double post

Thanks for all of the kind words, especially the "we've been there before, it does suck". I feel like a huge loser right now because of the situation we are in, I need to remind myself that just because our situation sucks, it doesn't mean WE suck
