its a sad day

While we’ve only just reviled this to our family I feel the need to vent and bring it out into the open. I usually just post my scrap LO’s here and I know I don’t get alot of visitors BUT it’ll make me feel a bit better.

We are being foreclosed and probably will have to be out of the house by the New Year.

Sigh.

We are doing Christmas here so it can stay as normal as possible for the kids but after that we need to pack up and move (not that packing won’t start soon, sorting today and boxing tomorrow). We are going to move in with my MIL and FIL. Its going to be incredibly cramped, space will be at such a premium that gold is worth less. The only thing that makes this a bit better that we’ve had talks with a local mortgage co and with the money we will be saving we will probably be coming out of this in a better position come spring time. We hope to be back in this house or a house for that matter by the time the snow is all gone in Michigan.

It doesn’t help feeling ashamed of myself or like I failed my children but we did everything we could and it just wasn’t enough. You know when they say that when you have to live paycheck to paycheck one mistake or unforeseen event can mean your downfall, well that is us. It’ll get better. It has to.

My MIL is resigned and my FIL is more angry at everything but after the conversation we all had last night the next few months are just going to be horrible. My parenting skills were brought into question, my reactions to things were told were inappropriate, she told me I’m fat and it became abundantly clear that she thinks very little of me. Luckily my husband isn’t going to defend her and we’ve talked about it and he is going to talk to his mom and maybe it’ll be ok but right now I feel like a little kid. I guess I have the right to be yelled at and maybe a bit of belittling thrown in but c’mon! Did you really have to pull the fat card? I’m the first one to tell you I’m fat. My mom has a slow thyroid and when she got meds for that slimmed down. Looking at how my entire family plumps up I don’t think its so much my eating habits, they aren’t the best but its not the whole story. Still. Leave your comments to my actions NOT my weight. That’s just low.

We’ll get thru and it’ll be a good chance to pair down to what we need but its still incredibly sad. Sorry for the sappiness but I do have a new LO to post as soon as my batteries charge. TFL is you took the time 🙂

    I’m SO sorry for all you’re going through! We ‘gave away’ a house in Florida. Everything is just a mess. I wish I had a magic wand to help all who need it and turn all the ‘suits’ who got this mess started into toads…real ones…not the form they’re in now. Keep your chin up! Smile for the children! Hang on to your husband and wish for a magic wand for your in-laws….
