In October of last year, my husband and I received a notice from our apartment complex that we had to move out because they would't be accepting CLC or FEMA vouchers, anymore. In November of last year, my husband and I packed up most of our belongings and moved in with my in-laws (his brother and his sister-in-law) plus we had hit a financial slump since our Katrina assistance ran out.

We are still in that same financial slump and my husband is always claiming he doesn't want to run out and get a job because it's the man who he's working for and being a slave. I totally agree with him but we can't go on living like this. I have always wanting us to have a more stable environment for us so we can help provide for his children (his kids live with us part-time) and when they do come around, we have to borrow money or food from his brother.

I just hate living with his friends or anybody because they make me feel so uneasy - not to mention, how jealous my husband acts when we live with them. It's like I always have to prove to him that he has nothing to worry about and it's so emotionally draining. I am so SICK of it since it constantly feels like we're riding on other people's coat tails more than we should.

He also can't sand when I come up with "Quick Remedies/Solutions" to our problems but in actuality, my solutions or remedies or more thought of than his. He provides temporary solutions for us by doing medicine studies for Novum and the money doesn't last us long at all.

He recently discovered a place in Austin called PPD which offers more money than this one out here - they offer $4,000 while our local chapter offers $500. That would keep us financially straight for a while except we have to take care of our transportation, bills, licenses & IDs, groceries, security deposits, and so on.

We still haven't moved yet and the voucher says that it'll end on March 18th of this year plus my in-laws (who we're living with temporarily) received a note from their apartment complex saying that they have to move out if they don't pay an electric bill plus they're rent of $287 or move out by the ninth, they'll have to move out. We are all dead broke at this time plus they're in New Orleans and still haven't come back home yet with the transportation to move out. How can we move out in one day?

Unless they come back today, we can both go apartment-searching where we don't have to pay a deposit and can pay no utilities or pay them at a later date. I hope they do come back, we have nothing packed up and no money at ALL even though my hubby was supposed to be doing a study where we can have at least $50 in our pockets. We would have had $500 by the end of two weeks so that he could do another study in Austin for more than $4,000 but that plan may foil if they don't make into town today.

We also had so many plans for the money but who knows how these days will end? We will definitely have to figure out something to stay on our feet. That study didn't work out but he'll be able to do one this week but I hope I get my taxes this week because I CAN NOT keep living like this - in and out of money.

My Grab horoscope sticks out to me today for some reason and I know it's absolutely right. It says as follows: "You could become lost in your own fantasies today and others may not be around to help you find your way back to reality. Nevertheless, there's important work for you to do and you better finish your chores before things get more complicated. Set your feelings aside early in the day, as they'll only slow you down and make you less efficient."

The fantasy part doesn't have anything to do with me because lately I've been strictly focused on business but my husband, who is also a Taurus (born one day after me but a few years earlier than me) has been having problems focusing on reality. My husband is usually like me but lately I haven't been worried about nothing but our business. The part about things getting more complicated is what I'm having trouble with - I don't want things to get more complicated because I don't know where we'll be if we continue down this path especially since we haven't ever been homeless in TX before and people are constantly saying TX is ruthless when it comes to kicking people out on the street. - (SIGH!)  

I am so frustrated with him, I am so tired that I can't get a good night's sleep, and my menstruation has been down since mid-January and isn't showing signs of going up - (that happens when I'm stressed or worried; I guess my period takes control of my whole body). I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO - URRGG!
