Well, it’s been about seven months since I lost my job. I’ve done everything I could to try to find work. My resume is out there, I’ve sent it in for at least seventy five different positions. Although I was a good candidate for a Tech Writing position, (pharmaceutical manufacturing industry) an executive to the company decided he would like a friend to interview for the position; we all know what that means.

Now I am faced with the very real possibility of losing my home. I’ve inquired about programs I may be eligible for, but, because my mortgage is a conventional loan, I do not quality for any of the Federal programs that are out there. I have exhausted all my savings and retirement funds and now only have my unemployment check to live on; and that check doesn’t even cover my mortgage. I have 3 and a half year old, twin girls that I cant even afford to take on day trips. They are so bored that they can’t help but to get into trouble. I find myself so stressed out that I find myself constantly yelling at them.
