The last few days have been kind of rough, and the stress of having no income is starting to really lay heavy on our family. We still have our home, but we are beginning to view our options as far as pulling out our 401K money and trying to lower some of our monthly obligations.

The loss of one of our cats has hurt, and with neither of us working we notice her abscence even more than we normally would.

Eric has left this morning for a job interview, I wish him lots of luck, we really need to get him working again, not just for the income, but for his self esteem. He is such a smart man, it's killing him knowing he is not bringing in money for his family. I have also been looking, and thought I had a job only to have it taken away again before I could start due to the economy. I am hoping that option will still be available later, when the company recovers in the future.

I will be having surgery on the 23rd of Jan and I am more than a little worried about how long the recovery will take. I'm going to think positively that it will be quicker than I think!

Anyway, later today Eric also has an interview with another company and this will be his second interview with them! I am very hopeful about that position and pray we hear something from somebody soon.

Good luck baby! Things will get better soon...
