We really really need some prayers. I am trying so hard not to ball my eyes out in front of the kids. Please pray that I get some good news soon.

Of course, What is going on if you don't mind me asking

I have been staying home since my son was born 2 yrs ago. I watch kids in my house and was doing great. I actually was so happy yesterday b/c I paid some bills and didnt hide them under the couch! Seriously, I was suffering from PPD and would hide them. I have been doing GREAT!!

UNTIL...today when the mom of the infant I watch found out she is getting laid off. I still watch another little girl, but losing the baby will hurt financially. I am so afraid that I will go back to being depressed. I could just cry. So please pray that I find another kid soon or that the babys mom finds a new job. I would even take going back to work if I can find something, even though I dont want my baby in day care. But you can not be picky when you pray and I know that.

Thanks for all the well wishes!
 
I have three girls -- 3, 8, and 13. My husband and I both have great jobs, schools is great, wonderful babysitter, etc. Everything is perfect, right?

No. After DD3 was born, I couldn't seem to handle things like balancing the checkbook and paying bills. I didn't understand why, I felt miserable, and I walked aroun thinking I was just stupid and irresponsible. I never talked to anyone about it.

Now, three years later, I know I had PPD. But I hid everything so well, not even DH knew what was going on.

Thanks for telling your story, because it helps me (and maybe others) see we're not alone.

I'm saying prayers for you and your family. And please get some help if you need it.

Lots of prayers coming your way. :hug: But here's a suggestion--if there is a college or trade school near you go by their office and see if you can put up a flyer advertising child care. The new semester will start soon and students will be looking for child care. I must have 50 ask me every day if I know of anyone.

You can also ask local stores (like Walmart) to put a flyer up in their break rooms.
 
:hug:

I will pray that God opens the right door for you. :grouphug:
 
I hope things look up soon. I suffered from PPD for a year after my son (baby #2) was born, so I can sympathize with what you are going through. I will be praying for you.
