And So It Begins....

Well, we found out yesterday afternoon that Mr. Pants is getting laid off today. That is not good news. The only bonus to the new situation is that I now do not feel quite so guilty about taking that new job. He is a welder/steamfitter (read hot) and work around here is just slow right now.

And the beat goes on..... Atleast we are almost completely finished with Christmas shopping. Both boys spent Saturday night with my mom and we hit Target, Toys R Us, Old Navy and Walmart. We then had a nice steak at Colton's along with a few Coors Lights. All in all, a very pleasant evening. We have just two more Lowe's gift cards and we are through. Hey, don't ridicule, these people asked for Lowe's gift cards!

Hopefully he will get on with another company soon. We cannot afford for him to be out of work for long - I only have one good kidney, so selling it on e-bay is out of the question. I wonder how much I could get for a sliver of my liver? It's not even rock hard yet. If you need it, you may want to catch me before New Year's.


Update - He will be going to work for another company in the morning. That's right, the man hasn't even been unemployed for an hour and he gets another job. Thank goodness, because I can be that perky and upbeat for only so long, you know.
