I haven't been around to whack anyone lately, because I have had a very rough couple of days. My husband was laid off on Friday, due to his company losing a lot of business over the last quarter. He's an engineer, and the company's business was based on new construction, which has declined this year. He is our only income - at least that is what we had planned until the kids are in school the full day. I am really depressed and scared. I have been a stay-at-home mom since the middle of my pregnancy - five years now - and I really don't want to have to go find a job only to have to pay out hundreds of dollars of what I make to put the kids in daycare, which is not what we wanted for them. Please pray for our family, that my husband will find a new job quickly and that things will work out for us.
Amazingly, I do not need a good whackin' at this time. I have managed to eat pretty sensibly even while working really hard not to cry all day. I have always medicated depression with food. This is about as depressed as I have been in years, and for once, I am not eating my way through it.
Well, anyway, I like this thread. It is full of fun and laughter, and it is the second stop I made, right after updating my diary. I really would appreciate any prayers at this time. Thanks.
