Jumping ahead a bit

As with a lot of other people, we have been making it by the skin of our teeth lately.
Money's tight, and times are hard, all over!
Like I wrote in another part of another blog, my husband Ronnie worked for a company named Arcade Marketing Inc. for 23 years before he was laid off permanently in November 2008. So, our life was all of a sudden going in a different direction! But not a good direction.

Thank God, I still had my job at Wal~mart. But our life is totally changed now. From a combined income of $150,000 to maybe $30,000.
 Big difference, but we will make it.
Everybody says God will take care of us. I believe this, especially now. We are going on 2 years with Ronnie on unemployment, but right as his next to the last check, he gets hired @ Wal~mart!
Since June 15th, 2010, I have been out of work due to having surgery on my ankle that I broke a while back. I am on short term disability. Thank goodness for insurance and the FMLA. Also, Wal~mart has been great working with me about the surgery and my time off from work. From what people have told me, my spot is still open.
There's times that I wonder, how are we going to make it? I'm not sure how, but I know we will.
I've gotten to spend some quality time with my kids and granddaughter while I have been out. I have just began to be able to do things around the house though. I can walk without crutches now for the past week, I don't even have to get an electric cart when I go to shop anymore. Yay!
