Mission Impossible......

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.....

  2. 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.

  4. You 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. :)
