Okay cue the theme song.....
You know the one......
Mission Impossible......
If you chose this mission......
Here goes.....I am spilling my heart out for all to read.....
I am a stay at home mom(you know-I don't stay home that much-used to when the kiddos were little).
My husband found out he lost his job last Thursday or the political way of saying "displaced".
It's been a little rough around here, some tears, lots of phone calls, me sleeping in till 11 am on Saturday morning, him getting up at 4:30 am yesterday......Grieving......
I packed up my sewing machine, fabric, paint, craft stuff, junky stuff for Etsy on Thursday.....
Cleaned it all up so he could come home to a clean house at least......
I felt like all I did was just a big joke-playing house..........
Wednesday......
almost a week now.....
It's all back out.......
I didn't lose my job......
I have had this job for 11 years now and the "fruits" of my labor are beautiful......
My kids......
Drama Queen turns 9 years old next month.....
I have 9 years left for this job.....
I am not going to quit......
Whatever happens to all the "stuff", the house, cars, etc.......
I have a job to do.....
So if you feel inspired visit my Etsy store.....
Say a prayer for our family.....
Jody I am praying for you and I completely understand all to well. If you feel like talking or getting out and not re-hashing it all, call me...or email me:)
ReplyDeletePrayers my friend!

so well put Jody...and the mission might be impossible without God, but you've got him and more importantly he's got you and your family in his hands.
ReplyDeleteJody face it...the job won't be over in 9 yrs!!! LOL That is just wishful thinking!!!! Your doing a great job, and it IS a job! Lots of Love and Prayers Mom
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! I love the way you think. I'll be praying for you too. My husband was "laid off" 8 months ago and there is a grieving process which I didn't anticipate, but it has been nice to see him around more. And there's days I wish I'd see him around less. :)
ReplyDeleteYou have the most important job in the world, taking care of your family! Peace and blessings to you. I'll be keeping you all in my prayers, thanks so much for stopping by,
