Feeling depressed....and worried!

Well its been a bit hectic lately with everything going on. All though we are unpacked for the most part in our new house, we are just NOT feeling like its home to us. We really miss our house, friends and of course the girls old school. It has been very difficult for us and we are having a hard time dealing. I have been having melt downs as well as Mark (more frustration). I can't tell you how upsetting it is for us now that we lost our home b/c of sub-prime mortgages. We worked so hard for our house and did lots of renovations and here we are renting, That is just crazy and we are feeling ashamed that we allow this to happen to us. I know we will be OK, eventually! The girls are doing great in school & ballet and the really like there new Friends. They miss the more room, like their playroom, tire swing & etc. Don't get me wrong, we are very grateful to have found another house even though we don't own it. Lately its seems that everything is going wrong. My daycare enrollment is low, Mark might be laid off in February and every time we turn around money has to be put out for something. My sister Sherry & my girlfriends Dana & Cin has really heard the brunt of it. We will be talking and I am just venting or telling them what happened, before you know I am uncontrollably crying. I feel like half the time just sitting in a dark corner and cry until I can't cry anymore. I fear the strain on our marriage because of just the worry that me & Mark have. Our house is still for short-sale and we did get an offer on the house. Although it would be good to get this off our plate, we feel that it really sucks that the bank would take loss with someone else rather that us so we can continue to stay in our house. We called the bank this pass Monday to see if they would consider helping or modify our loan and they wouldn't do it. I am hoping that we will come to terms with this soon, b/c it is tearing us up knowing that someone else will make it their home. We miss our friends dearly,although we do see them occasionally, but its just not the same when they were across the street from us on our old street. This has been a very frustrating ordeal for us and we pray that will overcome this. Right now we are focused to getting the daycare up enrollment ( for more money coming in), getting my drivers license by July 3rd (hopefully) and just trying to be positive for our daughters sake. We do Thank god for our health, roof over our heads and for our beautiful children and of course each other.

Hey Debbie!
Times are tough and all you can do at this point is pray to God. You WILL get through it all. God wouldn't lead you down this road if he knew you couldn't handle it. You and Mark are in my prayers every day. You can always call me to vent. Just know that I love you and I'm here for you.
Love,
Sherry
