    Angry My DH lost his job yesterday

    It's such a long story, but the end of the story goes like this: my DH lost his job yesterday. It's kinda a blessing in disguise b/c he had been looking for a replacement and if he left the company he was going to have to pay back a several thousand dollar bonus he received a few years ago, but since they fired him, he gets to keep it. We got 3 months of severance pay. The most stressful thing is the insurance that runs out on July 1. We are going to have to get COBRA or something. I am going to try and get WIC (been there, done that before) - Anyway, I won;t be online as much for a while because he lost his laptop (buisness) and he's home for a while. We have about 5 or 6 options that he is talking with, we are just waiting for the ball to start rolling. There's a few places that we may have to relocate to, so I may be getting back on and asking some questions. Thanks for listening - he doesn't want me to talk about it around here - so...........keep us in your prayers! I'll keep you all posted!

    I am so sorry to hear about you're going through. We found ourselves in the same situation right before Christmas 2005. God is good...he will provide everything that you need...and from the most unexpected places & people you will survive this. Your family will be in my prayers.

    I'm sorry you are going through this but keep reminding yourself of that blessing in disguise. Bumpy ride ahead but I'm betting it'll lead you to a better, happier way of life. Hang on!
