"shut er down for a few days"
Yes, that the solution. Allow the house to go home early from the special session, get additional payment for another special session, while I fill out job applications and pay for Cobra insurance ($2500 per month) and my husband will suffer the consequences of a "shut er down" mentality July 1.  Go to work tomorrow and don't leave until a budget is passed. There is no excuse for not passing a budget. I know all the people I will be voting against next election.
