Yes, it's nice to just share, but at the end of the day your blogging and time and patience and love is worth something, isn't it?

I was so lost and scared. We didn't know if we were going to survive. It happened with no warning...and no money in the bank account. I can't put into words the pain I was going through...but it has worked out okay. It took a couple of weeks but my husband found a different job. One that is actually better than the one who gave him the pink slip. By the grace of god and the help of family we were able to pay our bills. I'm proud of how we handled the situation as a family. It showed me just how we've grown. My husband and I cried together and supported one another rather than growing more separate. We became more spiritual together. My husband would have never left his other job--and this one is actually better...so while it was hard really a door was opened for us. When I posted about this on my own blog I was hesitant to do so. The emails I received letting me know I wasn't alone probably helped more than anything. While we know it is happening all across the country--it hadn't affected my friends and family so I felt alone. It isn't fair. There is no fairness at all in this recession. People who work hard every single day, pay their bills, and are good citizens are being affected. I don't usually like country that much but have you heard the Hank Williams Jr. song Red, White, and Pink Slip blues? I have found it to be somewhat therapeutic...I will keep you in my prayers. I know 100% that it was because of prayer we were able to get through this.Super Fun Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15913297366781838430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968242630894103409.post-14998583507931904602009-06-06T21:30:40.254-04:002009-06-06T21:30:40.254-04:00I know change is hard, and things like this can be...I know change is hard, and things like this can be scary (esp. when you have kids!!!!), but I always look to radical life change as a life lesson, in a way...if that makes sense.

My own husband's job has been in limbo since January. He has been laid off here & there (in fact, this week he was "off" for three days-he may file for unemployment, but it doesn't pay near what his regular salary does).<br /><br />Go ahead & do the Etsy shop--I've had two sales and mine has only been up for a little over a week! If you do it-let me know & I will tell all of my friends!<br /><br />I'll keep your family in my thoughts because I know what the uncertainty is like--you try so hard to be positive & think positively (one door shuts a new one opens and all that stuff...), but it is still scary.<br /><br />Take care...best wishes. <br /><br />~JessicaJessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17893337600207680012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7968242630894103409.post-65421436477655996772009-06-05T09:43:03.525-04:002009-06-05T09:43:03.525-04:00Don't worry big sis!
