Close Call

Yikes!! I almost forgot to post!! I would have been so mad; I've posted 14 days in a row now. That's quite a streak for me!!

Perhaps the reason I forgot to post is.......my husband got a job!!!!!!!!!

We are so, so blessed......

And it looks like I might get to stay home with Liam during the week, and just work Saturdays!!!!

The blessings are just being poured out on this little family of three.

I want to be sure that we learn everything God wanted us to learn from our mere 3 week journey through unemployment. Some things I've realized thus far:

-we have too much wiggle room in our budget
-we don't 'need' as much as we thought we do
-people who don't have jobs have a really, really tough road
-God is our provider, and He loves us more than we love Liam (WHOA!)

I'll continue to process these past few weeks, as the weather warms and I get to try out that new jogging stroller......

Adventures in Unemployment

The realities of unemployment continue.

We have health insurance through COBRA now, but it's the same exact insurance as before, we just pay out of pocket for it. The paperwork has been sent in, as well as the check. I go to the pharmacy today to pick up Liam's Prevacid, and guess what? We don't have insurance. The pills that normally cost us $10 are going to cost $133.

Now, I know it's a paperwork thing, but it continues to illustrate how complicated things can get. I start thinking of all of his doctor's appointments, vaccinations, and of course his prescription, all of which require health insurance. What are we going to do if God doesn't provide a job for Will before the insurance runs out??

Trying not to freak out. But sometimes being a grown-up sucks.
