...I apologize in advance. I try to keep my blog happy and fun because who wants to hear about all the troubles in the world. But, today, the troubles are winning. I am sure some of you know that my husband has been out of work since January 2008. Well, this week we thought things were finally looking up. Unfortunately, the job he was supposed to start today is not going to work out. And now we have nothing and that's exactly how I am feeling. Empty. It's too much. I know that there are so many other people in the same boat right now and I am not at all trying to imply that my troubles are somehow worse. It's just that it has already been a long year of barely making it and now who knows how much longer we will have to fight. I am losing my fight. I just want things to be okay. I don't think that is too much to ask for.
Okay, now I have thoroughly depressed anyone who may have actually stuck around long enough to read this post. Sorry about that. I just needed to get it out and here seemed as good a place as any. I'm not looking for pity or anything so don't feel like you need to leave a comment. It's just that hubby is not ready to talk about it and I needed to get things out before I tried to get some sleep. Sorry to dump it on all of you.
That just plain sucks Tracey. I'm so sorry. I really hope things get better for you guys very soon. Hugs,

Oh Tracey, I am so sorry that the job did not work out! I can't imagine what you guys are going through. If there is anything I can do please let me know!
ReplyDeleteTracey, I am glad you posted about it, so I can send you some cyber hugs. You hang in there. I'll be sending positive thoughts your way, in hopes of a better opportunity. {{{big hugs}}}
ReplyDeleteOh Tracey, I am so sorry to hear this. My husband also found out yesterday that he is being let go in the next 4 weeks. They tried to ring when we was at Zoe's birthday party but luckily he didn't take his phone. He is a contractor so no redundancy pay :-( He was made redundant 2 years ago and it took 6 months to find work then but know it will be much harder now. I will be thinking of you and wish I could give you a big hug. Love to you and your family and easy to say but stay strong. We are here anytime you need to talk. Nikki x
ReplyDeleteAhhh Tracey, I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers...........Sometimes good doors close to pave a path to open better ones....... it must be really tough and I feel for you.........Cyber hugs coming your way!
ReplyDeleteVicki
that sucks ASS!! pardon my potty mouth, you were so excited on saturday too....ah man, sorry about all of this
ReplyDeleteTracey, what a let down that must have been! I'll definitely keep you both in my prayers that something comes along for him soon. Thanks for letting us be your sounding board rather than keeping all of your feelings in.
ReplyDeleteoh Hun, what a disappointment, so sorry that things didn't work out the way they were planned, thinking of you all babe, hope that things pick up for you soon. big big hugs to you and your family.xxxx
ReplyDeleteOh my dear, I feel so bad that he didn't get the job, just keep thinking positve and something good will come your way! Hugs for you and your family! You are all in my prayers. Don't feel bad about telling us, that's why we are here for you!
ReplyDeleteMy heart breaks for you sweetie, more so because my daughter and her husband are in the same predicament. She is devastated that she had to return to work early from maternity leave, especially as Amy is still so poorly with an immature immune system and anaemia, and Rich is beating himself up about losing his job and watching his wife go off to work. I don't think there is any easy solution but you just need to work hard at being there for each other and not let the situation you find yourselves in win! Hang in there babes, for as long as it takes xxx
ReplyDeleteHugs to you guys.
ReplyDeleteSorry it didn't work out!
Dump away Tracey --- its good to let it out! I will be sending you positive vibes for you and your family!
ReplyDeleteYou are a wonderful blogger and I look forward to your sweet comments.
Tracey, I am so sorry to hear your news! Hugs to you guys! I wish there was something I could do to help- all I can say is that I understand and it just sucks!!!!
ReplyDeleteI am glad to see you are expressing how you feel. You amaze me with your wonderful positive attitude and spirit.
Thinking about you, Pat and Maya!

Tracey first let me say that I am sooooo sorry to hear all this. I hope things get better for you soon.
ReplyDeleteSecond, and maybe to cheer you up, the mermaid card and the scrapbook page above are super cute. Also I posted the wonderful birthday card you sent me on my blog. :)
**HUGS**
Sometimes it helps just a little to have an outlet for your feelings, fears and disappointments. Knowing that others care and understand makes all burdens less heavy. You and Pat have held it together through a very tough year - a testiment to the strength of your relationship! Always here for you in any way possible. Know that you are not only cherished, but admired and respected. xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteoh girl! That is awful. So many people are having tough times---sorry to hear that you guys are one of them. I am glad you felt like you can share it...sometimes you just have to let those things out.
ReplyDeleteI will keep you guys in my prayers. Hopefully something will turn up for him. Huge hugs!
Tracey, I am sorry you are having to go through all this. And, hey, that's what us blogging friends are here for! The good and the bad, right?
ReplyDelete((((HUGE HUGS)))) to you xxxx
Life is not always sunshine and lollipops. Downer posts keep it real. Sorry to hear about this disappointment, Tracey.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize this Trac :( I'm sorry. I'm sending you hugs and positive vibes!!!! xo
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear this, but we are in a similar situation, so I COMPLETELY understand. No answers, just (((hugs))) to you.
ReplyDeleteOh, {HUGS} girlie! HANG IN THERE!
ReplyDeleteKeeping y'all in my prayers!
I'm so sorry to hear this Tracey....it just doesn't make a whole lot of sense does it...a person would think with all the baby boomers retiring there would be plenty of jobs....My 27 yr old son is out of work right now too...Take Care Sweetie...I will keep you and your family in my prayers...Big Hug..Ila
ReplyDeleteHi Tracey, after seeing your comment on my blog and that you are also from Ontario, I came to visit your blog! :) Your work is adorable, I've got to try making cards one of these days!
ReplyDeleteSomething else we have in common? My husband is out of work too :( He even went back to college in hopes that it would help him find a job. He's been looking for 8 months now! I know how it feels, it is very scary. You get to the point where you don't even want to turn on your TV or listen to the news anymore because you're tired of hearing more bad news about the economy and the job losses. My heart goes out to you, and trust me, I can completely understand, I'm in the same situation :(
