Complete Financial Crisis?

I have no clue on what to do. My husbands paychecks have been short the past few months. I am getting shutoff notices and his check is coming on the 11th. He is getting $831 and after all of our bills we'll have $7.05...........We have to live on that for 2 weeks. What in the world am I supposed to do?

I'm lost, I'm confused, and have no idea what to do.

Do you think I could get some gov. help for this month? I really hate t do it but I have 3 boys in diapers. (An almost 2 yr old and 5 month old twins)

Can someone give me an idea of what to do?

Update:

104$---Elec. Bill (shut off 6.16.09)

61$--Water (shut off 6.15.09)

129$ Car Payment (was due on 6.6.09)

400$ Rent

110$--Phone Bill (was recently shut off and hd to pay I need it cause of the kids)

Really we have like no extra's... Ineed the SUV cause we can't fit 3 carseats in anything but one. And it was SO CHEAP.. 6000 for 2003 Mercury Mountaineer................................

i don't think I can cut down at all

    Claim some special government help. Or go to a shelter.

    I am so sorry to hear of your situation. This is happening all over. You might contact a food bank to help with those expenses. You might consider a cheap cell phone program like virgin mobile or something and monitor it closely to make sure you don't go over your minutes. You could possibly do a little part time babysitting if you aren't working. Maybe that would help temporarily. Government help might also be your best option at this point. Food stamps at least to keep everyone fed. Email me at bfastlane67@gmail.com and maybe I can at least help you do some research. I don't know where you live but maybe there is something I can find in your area. (i work from home and have lots of spare time). Good luck to you!!!!!
