Are You Kidding Me?
My husband, his brother, his father and our good family friend have been informed that as of December 15, they no longer have jobs. Right before Christmas, can it get any better? Sometimes I just wish things would go well for more than a moment or two, it feels like we haven't been able to catch a break for the last year and a bit. What is the most devastating thing of all is that I was actually looking forward to Christmas this year after a dismal one last year. The crappiest thing is that it affects Shane's whole family. Now instead of debating on what presents we will be getting our girls this year, we will be trying to figure out how to keep a roof over our heads and our bills paid. Excuse me if I sound a little bitter right now.

Oh, no, no, no, no. I'm so sorry, Margaret. That is just so awful. Sending you love and wishing you didn't have this stress any time, let alone now.
ReplyDeleteOh Margaret I am so sorry. What a crappy turn of events, and at Christmas too. I hope all this resolves into something positive.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you.

Margaret, I am so devastated for you! I just want to puke. You are not alone my friend. We just got out of this hole (been fighting with a busy signal and the Unemployment site all morning) and you and Shane will too, but what a bunch of scrooges to do this to a family right before the holidays. Especially yours. I'm PISSED! Big hug dear!
ReplyDeleteDeep breath, you will find a way, and you can still have a good Christmas. You've been through harder...I too am saying ARE YOU KIDDING ME???? for you.
Thinking of you!
Oh no. I am so sorry to hear this, especially when things were seeming brighter. I truly wish for new employment quickly.
ReplyDeletewhy does it always seem bad things happen to the best people during the time of year when you should be happy.
ReplyDeletei am so sorry to hear about shane being laid off, lots of prayers that they will all be able to find something else soon.
We were there in april when my hubby got laid off, so i know how nerve wracking it can be.
you guys are in my thoughts and prayers.
only good things for 2010!
I am so sorry Margaret. That is just awful. I will be praying for you and your family.

I am so sorry for you guys! We were in this position last year...well with Nick in school the last 5 Christmas' were rough, but last year was the worst when he was done with school, looking for a job, and no hope of things getting better. They did though, just like they will for you too. Let's pray for new beginnings in 2010 for all of us.
ReplyDeleteDearest Margaret - there is never a good time for things like this to happen... but right now? I am sorry you are going through this. You're right, you deserve a break. Sending you lots of positive vibes.
ReplyDeleteLove you,

Oh Margaret, this is awful. I am so sorry you guys are going through this. I simply cannot imagine. You are in my thoughts, as always but for different reasons today. xo
ReplyDeleteThat is terrible. I'm so sorry Margaret. Hoping something better comes your husband's way.
ReplyDeleteDamn, that sucks. I'm really, really sorry. I hope it all works out..somehow...
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry that such hardship has fallen on your family. It is just unfair. I will be keeping your family in my prayers, and hoping that Shane finds a new opportunity for work soon.

Hugsssss. The economy is really bad right now...I wonder when it will get better.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry Margaret. That is awful news and so unfair, especially at this time of year. I hope that Shane, your brother-in-law, your father-in-law and your friend find some work soon. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh, Margaret :( This is HORRIBLE news. You do not need to excuse yourself for sounding bitter! Not at all. I am so, so sorry to hear this. If there is anything at all we can do? Probably not :( Name it, if there is.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping fingers crossed that an opportunity will present it itself really, really soon.
that is just awful.. :( you certainly have a right to be bitter, what timing..Things will get better..keep your head up!
ReplyDeleteI read this verse and thought of you this morning. I have no idea where you are at mentally as you read this, but I want you to know I am praying for you and thinking of you with love.
ReplyDeleteRomans 12:12.
Rejoice in hope,
Be patient in tribulation,
Be constant in prayer
