Hi Folks!

[Annie&Hallie'sMom]

I know it's been EONS since I've been able to get here and post.

Just wanted to say that I missed y'all.

Update on me:

DH is still out of work, but still trying to do some consulting while looking
I may be laid off and have been looking for new employment (and been out on several interviews -- no news yet)
No news on the adoption process (we've been with this agency since March).


The "good" news is that supposedly a bunch of people were getting laid off last week, but it didn't happen. Since I've been holding off and holding off on my vacation plans, I finally said enough last weekend and booked a trip to WDW! Economically, it's not the best time, but with some dipping into savings (not killing the savings, just dipping) we're doing it. It will be the last time for a LONG time (since our passes will expire in December). Plus we really need the break. There have been too many days when I have gone home and cried and the stress has been just too much.

Hope everyone here is doing well and hope I will be able to pop in a bit more often (work makes it IMPOSSIBLE -- of course that's better than not being employed at all!).

Hi there Liz!!!!

I've been wondering how you and your DH are doing! Sorry to hear about all the employment related stress but glad you are getting to take some vacation time despite it. I did that once -- lost a job 3 weeks before I was leaving for a week in WDW -- and it was the BEST thing that I ever did. Boy did we have fun...I'm sure you will, too!

I think you are doing the right thing! When DH was laid off we considered not going to WDW, and I think it was the best thing we could have done. It was a good family rebuilder, he took his laptop and be available, and actually did an interview on the phone. Didn't get that job, but got one soon after. I really think it made a huge difference in his mental state (and mine!) to get away and relax a bit.

I am so happy for you Beth. If anyone deserves a vacation it is YOU! Cherish every moment.
