Ok I've calmed down since this earth shattering news was delivered. He applied for two jobs and we'll see what happens. He's going to start reaching out to contacts and see what is out there. I know that somewhere in this has to be some sort of blessing in disguise. We are fortunate that the retirement and disability cover the mortgage and our bigger bills. So between the two of us we'll be able to come up with the rest should he not get a decent paying job.
The contract is up next year anyway so this is just sort of a year early. I thought we'd have the year to plan and pay off some bills before we were faced with all of this. No such luck... or maybe somewhere in this there is a silver lining.
I'm job hunting and going to submit my sub packet this week. I applied for two jobs on line today and maybe one of them will pan out. So much for being home just for a little while. That is the part that is heartbreaking for me because I am at peace and just feel like this is what is needed right now in our lives but that's not to be. My girls were happy I was here and Steve enjoyed it too. Maybe the job I find will allow me to be home in the afternoons etc.
I am just disappointed at the way they did this all. I'm disappointed for Steve because he likes the job but has also said he is bored so maybe he'll find something more challenging.
Thanks for your thoughts and prayers and I know that there are blessings we aren't always aware of. I hope beyond hope that things work out and we can find a way for us to live comfortably without working ourselves to the death. We'll do what we have to for our family though..

Yes, what Jen said. I am sorry that you are having to jump right back into looking for work when you were obviously happy with the way things are now.
Big hugs and lots of love & prayers coming your way. I really think God has bigger things in store for you & Steve!
