Laid Off

Well, I got the news yesterday when I got into work. As of the end of next week, I will be laid off from work. Possibly to return in April, but most likely to not bc chances are they won't be needing us by then. I've already applied to get into a different type of low income housing. My rent would be 30% of my income and would change as my income changes. Not only that but I wouldn't pay utilities, it's a THREE bedroom AND has a basement!! I'm on a 2-4 month wait, and I'm through about 1month already of the wait. I'm really really really praying that it comes through for me! Luckily, I knew the lay off was possible and stashed away some money from my tax refund. Now, it's not going to see me through forever, but it will buy me some time. I've already been looking for new jobs. I'm applying for a cell phone through safelink, and once I am approved and receive the phone I will cancel my cell phone plan and will probably get a home phone which I haven't had in......hmmmm way to long to remember. Seriously, that's about all I have to cut out of my life bc I don't have a car payment due to the fact that I used most of my last years taxes to buy my van, and I don't have CC's. It will solve the daycare expense issue, and honestly, I'm looking forward to being home w/my boys for a bit. If anyone is looking for a babysitter, keep me in mind or feel free to give someone my number! Please keep us in your prayers that everything will fall into place, and that God will continue to provide a way for my family!!!

well by the time you get unemployment and don't pay for daycare it probably balances out. Good Luck

that's the thing though, i haven't been paying for daycare. my daycare was letting the boys go for free & i'm in the process of keeping it that way bc they wanted to take away the boys' scholarships. so i'm not balancing out just saving myself a fight w/daycare bc i obviously don't need them right now.
