Can't Remember Where I Left, But Here is a Rundown of What's Been Going On Since November

I believe that the last I posted my grandson had come back to the area and was planning on staying for a visit. My husband had also lost his job shortly before that. Well, hubby still has no job. My grandson did come to visit for about 2 weeks. Our home is so small that we were really crowded. Little Miss was excited to meet her brother and thoroughly enjoyed his stay. That being said, he got little rest because she needed his constant attention. My husband has many applications in the various places that are hiring around the area. Nothing has panned out. He did finally receive his unemployment benefits just before Christmas. Thankful for that. But, his not having a job hinders our possibility of getting a home loan. I am applying for a Habitat for Humanity home. The process is lengthy. They want to know your life's history. There are background checks, classes that you need to attend, and if you are approved, you need to put in 200 hours of sweat equity. The sweat equity would be no problem for my husband. For me it may pose a problem. They want me to work in the resale store. With Little Miss only in school for half a day, and me having a part-time job that I will start this weekend, I have no time to work in their store. Once she is in school full-time I may be able to work a few hours a week. My stress level is through the roof. Being a stress eater, I have gained weight and am having a difficult time getting back on track. I have rejoined WW, and even with that I don't follow the program. I am doomed. Hubby took out his 401K and has managed to spend almost all of it. Had to get tires for both vehicles. Our dryer died so that needed to be replaced. Thought he had saved most of it for a rainy day. Well, I guess that fixing his 4-wheeler to the tune of nearly $3000 was a priority. Needless to say I am very upset over that. I am tired of trying to make ends meet, coming close, and having set-backs. Sorry if this has turned into a venting post, but guess I needed to. Thank you for reading. Hope to reconnect with you all.
