I am a married mother of three beautiful children ages 16, 11, and 10. I am scared to death about back to school. We almost had our house foreclosed on, though thank the Lord we got caught up on it, but we can't pay our regular bills, let alone my car payment and we have barely even been able to eat. I started extreme couponing and that has helped us with groceries, but now it's back to school time and I have no money to buy supplies or clothes. All three of my kids have outgrown their clothes from last year and I don't know what I am going to do. I can't find a job and my husband is a GM mechanic, he works on a flat rate pay scale which means he may be there for 50 hours, but only get paid for 10. We were lucky though for the first couple of years of the declining economy, but this year it's hit us VERY hard. We can't even pay our bills and I'm in a constant state of panic about bills, school stuff, medical needs, etc. I just don't know what to do.
