i'm feeling a little down

I'm not sure that i am depressed, maybe more stressed LOL. We have always struggled with money because jobs weren't what they were cracked up to be etc. Well we have been trying for a while figuring out what we should do, where we should head, what direction etc. Well we have made the leap into the electrician field. starting off the pay stinks big butt. plus we have to pay for gas to and from sac and to and from redding for his tests. i just don't know how we are going to do it. I mean i could get a full time job but then i'm paying most of what i make to childcare. so i don't see the point in that. our bills are 2250 a month not including food and gas and we only make 2400 a month. So i am not sure how this is all going to work but we have to make it work. I mean if we don't then we will be stuck in a dead end job forever, at least this job is going somewhere and when he is done we will be set, with good pay and good benefits. my hubby is a great guy and has taken a great leap and he does realize how broke we are and such, not that we haven't always been broke LOL. At his old job (termite inspector) he was a commissioned sales person and for a while the job was great, we were seeing good commission checks almost every month but since the market has slowed down his commission has slowed and we haven't seen a commission check since january, with out commission he only brought home 1800+ what i make which totals= about 2400 a month, but we didn't have to pay for gas cuz he had a company truck etc. however this job wasn't going anywhere except down, so that is why we needed to do something for our future. I'm just really scared right now. I know that we will be fine and will make it but that doesn't help the way i feel. I feel like i need to do something but i don't know what other then what i am already doing. I'm so thankful that I have such great friends online (Krista, Donna, Lisa, Joyce, Deb, Melissa, Vickie and so many others) that are so supportive and understanding, I am also greatful to the most wonderful family (mom, dad, heather, neils, and dad and sue) and friend (schelley) that i have in real life. if it wasn't for all of you I don't know what i would do. I love you all and thanks for listening and understanding and being so supportive. You are all fantastic.
