Okay, so here it is. I've had the best intentions on blogging at regular intervals; I REALLY did! Sadly, this has been on the back burner. We've been dealing with curve balls that this lovely game of life has decided to chuck towards us at lightning fast speed... with uncomfortable spiky bits... oh and thrown from behind while we were completely distracted... did I mention they were ablaze, as well?? (See where I'm going here??)
We received a ever so delightful proverbial cherry on top yesterday. My husbands company has decided that they are no longer providing services in Michigan. Yeah, we live in Michigan. So, with that announcement, you'd tend to think an offer to relocation would shortly follow.
*EERRRRNNNT*
~that was a buzzer for those of you that don't speak (or read) joi fluently yet at this point.~
Well, surely they will give clientele (and in turn employees) a fair bit of warning so that they can possibly make the appropriate arrangements and changes. {Yeah, that was big fat negative as well.}
No notice... just a big fat "finish out your week; it's not you, it's us" spiel... a little pat on the bottom before kicking you down the stairs type of vibe.
That being said. We've been here before... in fact, in the nearly 11 years that we have been together, we have survived 3 major lay-offs... By major, I'm talking could NOT find work for over a year (each time), living off of ramen noodles and hot dogs, struggle to figure out which bill we could pay, which we could put off until the next unemployment check came tough.
Yet we were still guilty of finding strength in each other and lving one another the whole time through
(well, there were a few of "those" days!)
We lived... we know what to cut and where we can go without...
but I'm a big pouty 4 year old stomping my foot down...
"I DON'T WANNA!!!"
*you think if I throw myself on the floor kicking and screaming they might decide his job really IS needed?!?*
I didn't think so...
So, here we are... wondering where this change will take us...
but I'll be here narrating our story with
- heaping scoop of creativity
- a spoonful of whit
- a pinch of sarcasm
and hopefully a whole lot of laughs and new thrifty ideas for you to gain inspiration from.
