Time

After a year and a half of marriage, my husband and I are finally having some alone time. Without the children. But not the way we wanted to have time together. No, there is nothing wrong with the kids - well, nothing more wrong than being 11 and 13 year old boys. Last Friday Mike came home from work to tell me he is laid off. For at least 3 weeks, but we don't know for sure how long it may last. He spent yesterday on the phone calling people in the company he knows or has worked for before to see if there are any openings in their departments. Tomorrow he is going out knocking on doors to see if there are any jobs out there. Today we got to take an afternoon nap together- a nice treat. We are torn between glad to have some time to get all our projects completed, and worried about the job market. Lord knows that with this new twist in our life we have to get the third apartment done and rented ASAP. We even have a lead of someone looking for a place who is supposed to give us a call around Christmas time- that would fill the one we are working on right now. Wish us luck. And anyone who has any great ways to stretch a dollar...let me know!!!!
