Posted in New Parents on Jan 21, 2007... modified on Jan 21, 2007
Smart, newly married, soon to be first time mother. I work hard and I am fast learner. I had to grow up at an early age due to less than perfect parents. I have worked hard to earn everything I have. My husband is loving and hardworking, very smart. We are both very excited about being new parents, we just didn't expect it to sneak up on us like this. We really and truely thought we had prepared enough for this, boy were we wrong. The new year snuck up on us and everything went downhill in and instant. We still have our love and our faith and the hope and excitement of our little girl who will be joining us in this world march 20th 2007!
My Name is Brandy. I am 22 years old and I just recently got married January 7th 2007 to a wonderful man, whom I love very much. As bright as that sounds we are having trouble. We both had jobs and then it went down hill all of a sudden.I was managing and office for a house cleaning service and my boss turned out to be less understanding than I had expected. She fired me because she couldn't afford to pay me and my husband got laid off got from his company due to lack of work. While my husband found new work, it was for much much less pay. I am 8 months pregnant and have been to a gazzillion interviews and no one is willing to take a chance on me, given that I am so far along. I am very experienced and hard working. I have excellent computer and people skills. Still nothing happens. We are slipping behind in our bills and it gets more and more over whelming when we start thinking about how much further we will get behind before the baby comes and I can go back to work. My husband is doing the best he can but unfortunately it is not enough. I am asking... we are asking for help. Not that anyone should just give us money, we are honest people. If anyone knows of anyone who would be willing to take me on as an employee for a few short months I would be more than greatful and so would my husband. We live in Jacksonville, Florida and some travel is not a problem. We would be ever so greatful. Thank you for taking the time to listen .. or read.
