Well, the Second Shoe Dropped...More Bad News

E got laid-off from work yesterday, due to lack of work.  I came home yesterday around 5:30 p.m. and he was sitting at our tabletop video game in the corner of the living room...not saying much at all, but concentrating on the game.  After about 10 minutes of not talking, he says to me...got some bad news, they laid me off...paperwork for unemployment is on the kitchen table.  I wasn't initially shocked, but just feeling like here we go again.  This isn't the first time E has gotten laid off, so we have been in this situation before.  It was just 6 months ago he got this job after spending 6 months searching for a HVAC job but no HVAC available to him (this industry was hit hard by the economy).  We had just moved to this area and 3 weeks later he applied and got this job and we were feeling hopeful.

I know he wasn't happy with this kind of work and the environment there, but I was hoping it would have lasted alittle longer until he could find something else.  He is attending school for computer one evening a week and he has some more course(s) to take before he can go for A+ certification, so we are hoping that this career change would be good and yield a potential job in this field down the road. 

So, as the saying goes "life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you will get"...I am so believing our life (lately) is this saying.

In my younger career days, I always had a plan for the future and about 95% of the time it worked out...now though, I just have to live each day and not think too far ahead.  There are so many dreams I have for our future, but each time I feel like that dream might come true, we hit another "wall".  Let us just hope that this "wall" is temporary.
