Bad Ecomony Hits Home

Well, it looks like I've fallen off the blogging bandwagon yet again. Although to my credit, we don't have internet so it is a bit hard to keep it alive.

For those that don't know.....Sage is being laid off....technically last day is tomorrow. This also means all benefits, most importantly health insurance, are done, over, adios! This has been hard to process to try to grasp. I have been in so many offices this week filling out so many papers that I can't see straight anymore. Honestly, I never really thought I'd be in a situation where Sage would be unemployed...just never entered my mind....so I have had to learn alot and sign a lot of papers.

We knew that a lay off was a possibility starting in November but had become quite comfortable in the fact that they were doing all they could...aka reduced hours....to avoid it. So maybe that is why it has been so hard.

Sage has been very optimistic in spite of the news...keeps me going with his excitement for what lies ahead. He says he is glad he won't be bagging talc for the rest of his life.

For now we hold to our faith and our family to get us through. It is kind of exciting...in a scary sort of way...what our future holds. It also makes me appreciate the most important thing in my life and that is FAMILY. You can take the job but you can't take my family! =)
