Advice on how to prepare when barely skirtting by as it is?

I love this link! Food storage has saved our bacon when we didn't have any bacon!!! You already know this, but here is a reminder. Going out to eat (even fast food) adds up in a big hurry. If it costs 3.00 on the dollar menu for a meal, try going thru the ads and seeing what you can buy for 3.00 instead. We tried this for FHEand it was fun seeing what our kids came up with. It does take planning to eat at home instead of eating out. My 3.00 thrill with coupons last week was 4 boxes of cereal and 2 doz eggs. Now if I could do this on a regular basis..... -
I took DD down for a pregnancy test. Even if they used birth control, women in my family get pregnant on birth control. (Me, 6 times, 1 sis had 4 boys in 5 years...)My mom will probably be with us until the end. I found out we are at the line for qualifying for state medical for DH but I was told that it wasn't enough under the line. It will be ok. I believe food storage and we have always been frugal. something great is bound to happen sooner than later. Thanks guys. It isn't smooth sailing but I'm done bawling and now want to get a handle on things.

Instead of sleeping since I have to work early (on Sunday. Again.) my mind is trying to figure out what to do next. My sweetheart of 17 years is bi-polar. We recently found out that our 16 year old has slept with the guy she wasn't allowed to date. DH isn't handling the stress well. My mom has moved in with us since my sister she was living is going thru a nasty divorce. DH and I are stressed over our jobs as several people there have been laid off. Add to that our basement flooded and caused 6 Gs of damage. No insurance. I know that God loves me. I know that He cares about my life. What i don't know is what do I do next? I'm responsible for my mom (darling, old blind) DH (bi-polar, off his meds) 3 kids whom I love dearly, and me. None of this is new. Others have had these problems and come thru them valiently. I feel struck dumb, immobile, spiritually deaf. Believe me. Being physically deaf is SO much easier to deal with.
