Hello,

My name is Terri, from TN. I am a married mom of 3 sons ages, almost 16, 19, &20.

I am also disabled. My husband's job is 1 hr away, and bcause he doesn't have a college degree, he doesn't make as much as others in his field.

We r constantly trying to save $$, but with the economy the way it is, we have none left 2 save.

I am looking forward to meeitng other ppl here.

Welcome!  Can't wait to hear more from you!

Welcome TMealer! 

 I am the oldest of a "My Three Sons" family and I am sure that my Mom can relate to you quite well.  I am 31 and my brothers (huge age gaps!) are 24 and 18.

 She always wanted to use the name Elizabeth and it's a running joke in the family that is one of us kids doesn't use it for our own we're outta the family LOL.

I hope that you enjoy the forum as much as I do and I look forward to future postings.  I've been here just over a month now posting regularly and I consider this to be a safe, enjoyable, valuable learning experience to be had,

My best to you ~ MATT

 Hi, Terri, welcome to the community. The economy is making things more difficult right now for everyone, it seems. Jump right in anywhere, we're glad you're here.

 WelcomeTerry (tmealer)!!

Thank u all 4 the warm welcome. I enjoy hearing new ideas.

Today my hubby's work has ordered EVERYONE in today for a meeting. Work has been slow, we r afraid of the plant closing. I don't want 2 say who or where they r right now.

Also, there will b days that u don't hear from me @ all. I am losing my sight due to a very rare disorder. I have trouble holding a focus. Some days, I am just in lots of pain.

Now with the unsecurity of hubby's work, stress is higher. My youngest son suffers from severe anxity disorder and cannot attednd a pupblic school. we have been keeping him in a home school extension program. If his dad loses his job, I don't know how we will pay 4 it this yr.

I know there r families in worse shape than ours.

Hope u all have a blessed day.
