Bad News or Good News . . .

Well, it is official, DH is getting laid off at the end of the month. We knew this was coming and have been trying to be prudent in saving money and getting stuff done while he still has a job. Hello: braces, fixing/updating duplexes, getting said duplexes rented, sending out resumes, car sold, etc. etc. He has been waiting anxiously the last 3 months for this to happen, so we are relieved it finally is here. But it is still nerve wracking. I just applied for my business license and was looking into launching my own business, "Old School Chic" to get ready for Crafts 4 a Cure in July to raise money for the 3-Day Walk and possibly opening a booth at an antique mall. Some of those plans are just going to have to be put on hold. Still doing the sale because I signed up for the walk already, I have a little over half the money raised, and we are donating all of our sales to Walkers for Knockers. I have completed or in progress of some of my crafts I plan to sell, just can't buy anymore supplies, make due with what I have.

I am approaching this as a cup half full opportunity. It will all work out and maybe it will give DH some time to spend at home with us and getting some of the honey-do list tackled.

WOW! Talk about coming back to blogging with a bang!
