A Crappy Week for a Crappy Economy

This week has not been our family's best week ever. Rick got laid off from his job and we are with no jobs in our house at the minute. We have just gotten on our feet after almost 5 years of marriage so we have hardly any savings and little food storage. I recommend that if you don't have these things that you start working on them RIGHT NOW! We were doing it but it didn't get done in time apparently. I hope that I can find some piano students soon. I have been advertising myself all over but no takers yet. Rick has decided to do some free lance for a while. He has wanted to always do that and feels like this is the perfect opportunity. I am proud that he has been so self motivated to work 8 + hours a day on it and is trying to get some more stuff out the door. So please pray that we will find gainful employment and that this economy turns around soon. Please vote for those people that you feel will help our economy the most and will hold those who made risky decisions that have ruined many Americans responsible.

I'm so sorry. I've been there, and I remember the anxiety and anguish. It is so hard, especially with kids. I'll be praying for you.

I have wanted a few piano students, and the one I had set up to start, just called yesterday to cancel. I know what you mean about the economy. I'm so sorry. I will be praying for you too!
