Im a bad blogger....

I have become a very bad blogger lately. Its not that there's nothing going on to blog about! Its just that things have been crazy! Adams hours at his job got cut. At first it was just 4 a week. We can handle that. Then it was 8 a week. I started to get scared after that. Well now its just a waiting game. Like last Wednesday when he went in they let him work 3 hours and then he had to go home. They "laid him off" for that night. Some of the departments are already down to 20 hours a week. I pray that does not happen to his department. So since his hours have been cut so much he has taken on a 2nd job to make up the income we will be missing. I'm so thankful that he is able to do that!

Then last Wednesday at my job they laid off 2 more people. 1 of those people being my boss! She was a great boss and I am going to miss her so very much! This is the 3rd round of layoffs I have survived in the past year. Our staff is now half of what it was 1 year ago. I am so very thankful I have somehow survived all of the lay offs. I am just not sure I will be so lucky next time. In order to not have to cut more jobs they are making us all take 1 week off without pay in the 1st Quarter. Thats not so bad for the people who have tons of vacation saved up and can just put in vacation time and still get paid. But for people like me it sucks. I dont have enough vacation time to cover a week off. So thats a bit stressful also.

I know I shouldn't complain. I know EVERYONE is feeling the effects of the troubled economy. It just sucks right now. Adam and I are doing everything we can to cut costs. Thankfully I have found some awesome blogs out there that have great money saving tips!
