I'm lifting prayers continually for you, SM. I have asked my daddy to pray for my TDK family when he gets to heaven and I know he will. No dad can resist his baby girl!
I'm glad you and hubby are being proactive and that you came here, to us, right away.
I pray for peace and courage for your family as you do the footwork. The TDK prayer army is on your side!

I'm going thru the exact same thing you are. I have days where all seems lost, and i have days where i am determined to get thru all the crap and come out on top. Keep the faith, I know it is harder to do than say it. without faith, we are truly lost...

Someone mentioned that your husband is retired military? Check out changes in the GI Bill -- someone was mentioning at work that recent changes made them (retired army) now eligible for a transferable GI bill education. (So they were looking at it to tranfer it to their daughter)

Oh, Liz, I am sooooooo sorry. I know it's hard, but try to stay positive--you'd probably slap me if I was standing next to you, huh? I know it's easier said than done, too. When I read your post, my first thought was, "Well, he's retired military so that's such an advantage!" Hopefully, it will be! :) Does N.M. have any alternative certification programs for teaching in which he could start teaching and become certified at the same time? I'll keep praying that everything just falls into place. Who knows, a year from now you might look back and this will be a blessing in disguise because opportunities came about that you all never even thought about. (ok, you're probably trying to drown me in the toilet now because of the 'positiveness')! I'll keep you all in my prayers and add another just for peace of mind. Please let me know if I can help.

I'm so sorry for your turmoil and grief Liz...it would seem as though we're saturated with it in these times. I find that when times are hardest we offer it all up to God and he has never let us down. Jeff & I are praying that your husband will get another job, your health will stabilize and your faith in God remains strong. {{{Liz}}} {{{Family}}}

Oh SM, my heart is breaking for you and your family. Not sure how I missed this post. You are such an inspiration to me and such a support for the TDK "family". You are so loved. I completely can understand where you are. I am teetering right now and any little thing could push me over the edge financially. I am sending up so many prayers for you and the entire family. Hoping things are not all lost and that there are resources available to you since your hubby is retired military. I know Mini SM is one smart cookie, there is also help available out there for her and college. Unfortunately she may have to dig around to find it but I know its there. I wouldn't have made it through college without it. I know your faith is strong, it will carry you thru this difficult time. Please take care of yourself, don't let this get the best of you (easier said then done I know!). Many, many, hugs and prayers to you! Please let us know if you need ANYTHING! (((SM & Family)))

Hi SM, a couple of places that might be able to help if needed at some time. is the Catholic Charities,they probably have a website ,I've read that they have helped people with bills or rent or house payment, etc, and current bills. I saw someone give this info to someone on this tdk site. I hope it helps. Also another site I saw,but I dont know anything about them,but to look into them it is called Modest.Needs.org again same type of help, with car repair,bills ,late rent, etc.
These are just a couple to see what their about, I hope they can help. Also if your husband is a veteran, your daughter may still be able to get medical or dental care,something to look into. There should be other aid from them also. There is alot Vets are eligible for and their families. Good luck to you and your family.

SM, I'm sending positive thoughts, prayers and hugs. I am so sorry. We will always be here for support and prayers. You are such a blessing to all of us! I agree with the others... one day at a time. I know that it sounds trivial but it is true. Big hugs to you and the husband and of course skritches to the kits. Give each other a big hug and know that we are all thinking about you.

Liz, you will make it through this, with your animals staying with you. My husband is a Vietnam veteran, and if his income is low enough he gets free medical care, and it's adjusted on a sliding scale based on his income. If you were married during his service it should cover you and your daughter as well. Don't be too proud to ask for what you deserve, be it school, medical or food stamps. You paid into these plans and take the help now. We are all praying for you. I've been there too, but if you keep strong, with us behind you, you will make it. {{{HUGS}}}

Liz, I just caught this thread. Please hang in there. If you need a shoulder to use, feel free. I am sending positive energy your way to help ease that fear. Things seem to find a way to work out.

I don't know how I would make it without you TDK family. Your prayers and support mean the world and make it a little brighter.
We were representing our church last night at the domestic abuse shelter fundraiser. I ran into a few students and several parents. It was eye opening. I was praised by an administrator infront of so many people--no one does that. I turned around and ran into the superintendant of the Christian school--I introduced myself. She looked at me and said I know who you are. Shocked the crud out of me, she continued that she checked and knows the work I have been doing. She said she was very pleased. I ran into parents that said their kids still talk about me years after having been in my class--I never knew. I had a student see me and he walked over and swept me up in a hug and said he has been accepted into law school and starts in September! I said where--he is being wooed by 3 collleges. He flies Monday to California--the one he is most interested in. He was wait listed at Columbia--I reminded him a wait list isn't a rejection. I just am overwhelmed by last night. Things I never knew. And it seems to have opened doors for Mr. SM. He was introduced to many last night--there may be jobs out there. May not be at the same wage scale, but that doesn't really matter.
The I re-read this and see all the advise--places I had not thought about that could help. The love is overwhelming, but these tears are tears of sheer joy, not the tears of fear like yesterday. I will never be able to thank you enough!

SM...sounds like yours & hubby's evening was in purrfect timing w/all that you've been handed lately. I sure hope that something does come of it,in way of employment for Mr.SM. And it has to be a wonderful feeling for you to find out later on that all your hard work has made such a positive impack on someone. It makes it all worthwhile.
Continued Hugs & Prayers for you & Mr.SM & chin scritches for the furbabies. -
I think all the positive feedback you got last night was God's way of reminding you that you are not a failure and that He wants you to be as proud of yourself as He is. You are a positive force in the world. Good things are in store for your family! Keep the faith! :)

SM, I'm just now catching this thread, so it seems there's good and bad news. I'll definitely keep you in my prayers. Please let me know if I can help you in any way.
I thought I saw a note that you are working on a master's degree? Have you looked into health insurance through your university? I used some of my financial aid to sign up for insurance this spring and it's already made a dramatic difference in the cost of my prescriptions.

SM, so glad you are feeling overwhelmed by all the love here. The TDK family really rocks!! We are all so blessed to have each other!!
That is awesome how you received so much recognition last night and was reminded of how special you are, and what a difference you make in SO many lives. Awwwww.. how wonderful! I loved hearing all about it. Thanks for sharing!!
Love and prayers coming your way. God is watching over you and things will work out, no need to worry. He just has something else in mind for your family. All the love, kindness and positive things you do, will be returned to you many times over. Keep your faith strong and really lean on Him, He won't let you down.
Many hugs to all of you. If you need anything, let us know, we will be glad to help. -
Probably the biggest reminder I ever needed Bumblebee--thank you. Turning things over is not my strongest trait. For some reason I feel the need to have control of what I am doing--apparently I have no control on this. Not to mention I am ill equipped to deal with this--I am turning it over.
Thank you all for helping this weight not become unbearable. I am praying for a positive outcome from the meeting tomorrow.

WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH SM! Prayers for you and your hubby tomorrow for the meeting to have a positive outcome! Congrats on the wonderful compliments your students and collegues gave to you, you are truly an inspiration to so many! (((SM)))

SM, we will all be willing that meeting to go well tomorrow and for the financial load, at any rate, to be taken from your shoulders. Those of us who pray will be praying and the godless heathens amongst us (like me ;-) ) will be demanding that the Universe return some of that good karma to you that you've been storing up. I know things will get better for you. Heaps of hugs and arohanui.
Then maybe you can start to concentrate on your health and your mum's.
