He found out last week that salaries are being decreased....and we aren't really "getting by" on what he is making now. (Love that song by the Dead...if that's the right song!) BUT, that said...I'd rather be home with my kids than working....I have to remind myself of that every time I have to buy something and then almost vomit b/c I'm spending $$$ that we might not have enough of.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09118735680417129631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27333904.post-42518182649277401252009-07-25T11:45:10.369-04:002009-07-25T11:45:10.369-04:00I know, I see it so often with so many close famil...I know, I see it so often with so many close family and friends. It is such a hard spot to be in! I am so sorry and will pray that his business starts to pick up. It is so sad to me to see so many men that have wonderful decrees without jobs. I hope that life picks up for MANY people, including YOU!!!!!!!!!!Shanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12119154251508839114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27333904.post-2495866115533692562009-07-23T15:08:33.519-04:002009-07-23T15:08:33.519-04:00I'm right there with you.

And the thing that gets me the most is that I think it could be different if I just knew how to budget better!<br />Kids are all in school next year. Anyone know of a job I can get that allows me to be home when they get off the bus?Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01554535880101320716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27333904.post-1815013043143779772009-07-23T12:07:27.933-04:002009-07-23T12:07:27.933-04:00Been there since January when B's company slas...Been there since January when B's company slashed their negotiated salaries by 10%, gave him a promotion and re-slashed his salary by the bigger percentage, murdered the 401K match plan, and are now yanking tuition reimbursement. My pretty little go-back-to-school plan is being slaughtered. But alas, we get by, without all the little extras and in the meantime I'm sure we are both building a heaping supply of character. And that is priceless!Topsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14280040921496431358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27333904.post-73404824168450987802009-07-22T22:37:29.229-04:002009-07-22T22:37:29.229-04:00You don't have to be a "Dead Head" t...You don't have to be a "Dead Head" to love the song "Touch of Gray" by The Grateful Dead.<br /><br />listen to it...you will be walking a little taller after listening to it.<br /><br />"...we will get by."Davidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27333904.post-85978121333969456452009-07-22T21:37:31.818-04:002009-07-22T21:37:31.818-04:00I can so relate to that touch of gray!

I feel so blessed to have been given a great fun job recently to keep me positive but, it really is no fun when you wonder how all the bills will be paid. Somehow the Lord has always provided a way and I keep the faith that it will all get better real soon for all of us!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02546897412814032616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27333904.post-64748232888615617002009-07-22T18:12:53.912-04:002009-07-22T18:12:53.912-04:00OH I know the name of the song - "La Vie En R...OH I know the name of the song - "La Vie En Rose" made famous by the incredible Ms. Edith Piaf...wait, that's the rose-colored glasses reference, though I'm not sure on the "framing life into pretty pictures and happy thoughts" line.
