My family and I need your prayers....getting some things off my chest =Oddy=

Hey everyone. I needs to ask for some prayers for myself and for my family. I don't often ask for prayers for myself, but I really need some support. Last month, I lost my job. I was fired because I really wasn't catching on to the job and couldn't get past a certain production standard. At first this really upset me because I usually excel at tasks I take on. The more I thought about it though, the more I realize that you can't do EVERYTHING well. Anyway, I've been out of a job and we've only had my husband's income for the past month, which is not enough for us to survive on. We have moved in with my in-laws because we lost our house. We've had to sell my husband's truck so now all we have is my car. I am supposed to start a new job as assistant manager at the pharmacy I used to work at, which will actually pay more than the job I was fired from. The only thing is, I won't be able to start for about 2 months. We are already so far behind on our bills that I don't know when we'll catch up, which is the main reason we moved. Don't get me wrong, i love my in-laws. It's just that no one really wants to live with in-laws...or for that matter, your own parents.

Also, I have to have a root canal because of a previous filling that my old dentist failed to fix. He didn't get the entire cavity and my tooth abscessed underneath the filling. Since I lost my insurance, I had to cancel my appointment with my new dentist and I have to pay it in full....over $600 up front. I can't save that, because we HAVE to pay our bills. So I've had a toothache getting progressively worse in the past 2 months. My husband suffers from high blood pressure and it is really elevated right now because of our stress levels. I've been trying to keep calm so he will stay calm, as well as making sure he is maintaining a healthy diet, but staying calm is getting the best of me.

To top it off, we were in a car accident two weeks ago and my insurance won't cover it because my husband fell asleep at the wheel. It only did very minor damage to the car, and no one was hurt, thank GOD.

I have had to put the baby back on WIC and Medicaid so he can have formula and food, as well as health insurance which is a relief. They weren't going to see me for a month, but I threw a crying and sobbing fit on the phone saying I would NOT see my son suffer for a month while I diluted his formula so I can wait for them to see every illegal alien first who has 12 kids so that the government will keep on supporting them while I am sitting in dire need for one child in an actual unplanned emergency. That's another monster of a debate though.

Also, I am having to find a temporary home for my cat and none of my family members can take her because they have too many animals. I am not giving her away because she is mine. She's helped me get through lonliness and she is the first animal I could ever call my own. I tried to go through the animal shelters to see about foster programs, but there is a waiting list. I can't keep her outside because she is declawed and cannot defend herself. I just wan her to go to someone I trust who I KNOW will give her back to me when we get back on our feet, but no luck so far. My father in law said we could keep her here if all else fails, but she will have to stay in my dog's crate. IT's a big crate, but it still wouldn't allow her to roam around. My dog will be able to come to my in-laws because he's an outside dog, so he's already made himself at home.

Also, my father in law was stung by 8 yellowjackets last night and his arm is swollen pretty bad. I suggested some benadryl, but I don't know if he took it or not because, "it makes him drowsy."

I'm at my wit's end right now and I'm trying to keep it all together for both my husband and my son, but I seem to only get more depressed. Please pray for us and our situation, as well as our wits, patience, and perserverance.
