So when I came home last night my husband informed me I either chose my parents or him and that he went ahead and made the choice for me. He wants a divorce. So I guess my marriage is finally over. Its hard to think about or grasp but I will be fine. I am a stay at home mom so he is willing to keep paying the house payment (in my name so he let me keep) until we get taxes back or I can find a job and then hes moving out.It's so hard because I have been at home 3 years and have a 2 year old and 5 month old but I have decided I can do this and it will not break me down or tear me apart I have to stay strong for my girls so thats just what it is. Anyways I planned to go to a club with my friends tonight to celebrate new years so I guess I just have to suck it up and get the girls ready for a night with dad. They LOVE these nights so I guess its good thing. Anyways please everyone who prays keep me in your prayers. Emily

I'm sorry this happened, but I'm glad you're holding strong. Join us on the single moms forum for support (or a palce to vent).

He works at freaking TACO BELL--why should it matter that he can't do heavy lifting??? He filed for unemployment last night online and hopefully will get it, but I'm also pushing him to keep trying to talk to his boss. I need him to work at least 2 days/week because I can't pay for everything now that I'm having insurance taken out of my checks. Unless I work even more overtime than my current 8 hours of overtime every week I can do that, but my job is physically demanding and I get really sore if I work too much. Like today--I didn't even want to get off the couch.

Grrr. Is he covered by the ADA? Can you really still get fired for being sick? Probably. Well, I hope he's wrong.

Well, Happy New Year everbody!! I'm probably going to celebrate by going to bed at around 9 pm. Never cared much about the ball dropping, and the baby will be up before 7 no matter what I spent the night doing. I hope you all enjoy.

ok.Well one hint is for the corners of your fitted sheets.Men's briefs wear out but the elastic on the waist will go on forever.Instead of buying those clip on elastic things for your sheets,sew on the elastic off a pair of retired mens briefs.I know it sounds funny and its some work taking the waist band off,but it works great and mine outlast the sheet!!Also instead of buying cakes for special occasions,make your own and use a washed new window cling and pipe frosting around the edges.It looks great and saves money.Just make sure to take it off before serving,lol.
