It's never fun to get up in the morning with a headache. I couldn't sleep last night. Our financial situation keeps running through my head like a freight train. I thought we were doing so well making adjustments from the 20% in pay in February. I really REALLY tried to focus on everything positive then. It was hard and there were a few boo-hoo moments but we did what we needed too.

I felt that God was blessing us more then we deserved. He was answering unasked questions. He was guiding us in stretching our dollars - so Faithful.

And now? I don't know..................I really don't know. I don't feel Him close to me at all. (just being honest)

Yesterday my husband had to do lay-offs and this morning he has to tell the rest of the crew ALL the changes that are taking place. Pay Cuts Again AND No Work / No Pay the week of Thanksgiving - No Work / No Pay the week of Christmas. Last night he was exhausted from the stress - there was a time I saw him just staring off into the distance, so upset about one of the guys who got laid-off.

His hug this morning was a bit stronger and a bit longer than his usual goodbye hug ~ so much is on his shoulders right now --- I wish I knew how to lighten his burden.

Well it's time for my crew to get up ~ it's time to put all this aside and focus on being the best Wife and Mommy I can. Just typing this sentecnce puts a smile on my face.

I Love My Family and no matter WHAT is put in our path I KNOW that we have SO MUCH LOVE we WILL get through this and whatever else the world throws our way.

~ A Woman In Love ~
