Fun-employment

Confession: My husband doesn't have a job, and I'm loving it.

Truth: When the severence runs out, it may be another story.

We're always in a phase

Confession: I'm struggling with the adjustment of having my husband home full time. Yes, on the one hand, I love it and wouldn't trade it for the world. The other hand? I'm just really not used to someone else being in my house that has the authority to make decisions like where and when are we going somewhere, and what in the world is everyone going to eat for lunch.

Truth: Like I said, I wouldn't trade it for the world. When I see the man I love with a four year old girl and two year old boy on his back roaming around the room on his hands and knees playing "horsey", bucking them off to their delighted giggles and squeals, really, what in the world is better than that?

The No-Job Blues

Confession: My husband lost his job last week, and since then I have acted. . . . let's just say, less than Proverbs 31-ish since the dreaded day.

Truth: Driving in the car, listening to a praise song, the God of the universe became so clear to me, yet again. He has given us an amazing gift by having my husband home for now. He had been driving an hour and fifteen minutes one way to work each day. His place of employment was extremely pressured and stressful. My husband was gone from his babies (3 under 5) over 70 hours a week. His health was failing, and he was a very healthy guy. He was offered 6 months severence pay. We thought it was unfortunate that he lost his job right before Christmas. Unfortunate? Absolutely not, what a gift to spend my favorite time of the year with my hubby and father to my beautiful children!
