Done with the how much can a person handle thing

My husband came home last night to tell me that there is a good chance he won't have a job after Friday. There's a very long explanation, but the upshot is pushing product out before it was ready, making costly changes because of it, and a few other things. And the FAA is not forgiving.

I thought last year was bad with the election crap that stretched into January, but this year is taking the cake thus far. And no, I have no idea what will happen is he does lose it, aside from looking for a new job. Don't even know if we would remain here.

My stress levels are very high right now, and I'm ready to crawl into bed and just cry for a day or two. I'm still all over the place about my grandma, and especially my dad. And that whole make lemonade when life gives you lemons... :angry48:

Oh no!
Don't you hate all the horrible things people say "to make you feel better"?
This just sucks. You're being hit with yet one more major stressor - enough already!
Your feelings are certainly justified.
I'm so, so sorry. I wish I had a magic wand to make it all better.
Lean on each other for support and of course, we're here for you.

Having been in your shoes with regards to your husband's job situation...a few times...it is a royal pain in the a$$.
Such a blow to everything you know.

Go ahead and scream, cry, whatever it takes.

I wish him, you, only the best outcome. :happy94:

Oh wow Monica! I can only keep good thoughts for you two and wish for the very best. And yeah, go have a good cry/scream...you might actually feel a tad better. This is way too many things to cope with and I'm so sorry.

:happy94: Thank you all for the support. I needed to just vent and this is my safe place. ;) I'm waiting for Friday now... and not because weekend... *sigh* Where is that winning lotto ticket when I need it? I'd even settle for enough to just pay off the house and cars!

I'm sorry, Monica. That is too much! Have a good cry or two. At least it releases some of the tension.

Well, we survived this Friday and he still has a job. So... we go through this again next week. Yesterday's plane passed and will be on to the new owner. He's at work right now as they work on another airplane to get it certified.
