So much going on, so little time to blog. I'm working more to help bring in more cash flow. I'm now driving to the pool 5 days a week. 3 mornings I leave the house at 5:00am to open and 2 days a week I'll still close. I don't want to think about how this is going to mess up my body clock. I should throw a sleeping bag and change of clothes in the car this winter just in case.
DH is meeting with an old client in the hopes he can freelance, but its not a permanent solution. It could pay better than unemployment though. I'm praying something comes along.
The boys lives haven't had to change and for that I'm grateful. I was worried having DH home more would change our unschooling, but its only enhanced it. Lately our favorite game has been Repeat Or You're Obsolete. We received it as a thank you gift for bird sitting. Its a memorization game everyone in the family can play. DH is really good at it, of course he's always had an amazing memory.
In some ways, I think because we are homeschooling, it's helping him get through this difficult time. I know it helps him when he can help us, even with small things. Everyone wants to have a purpose in life.
Yesterday we visited the zoo, and I took the photo of the Timber Rattler you see above. I think they are so beautiful. Its one of only 2 poisonous snake species in Wisconsin. The zoo was having a Halloween event so a little extra fun was to be had that day. The zoo keepers carved a pumpkin with several holes, they loaded the pumpkin with snakes, and then the snakes came slithering out of the holes in the pumpkin. It was very cool and creepy!
We we hoping to carve our pumpkins, but we ran out of time yesterday. Maybe tonight we'll get to it.
I have to get on the ball and finish the doughnut costume! My sewing machine is completely locked up so I hand stitched what I absolutely had to and now I'm painting the rest. DS14 still hasn't decided if he'll dress up. I know he wants the candy though!
I better get a move on. I just wanted to check in, jot a few notes and say a quick thank you to everyone praying and thinking positive thoughts for us. Take care of yourselves!

You are in my prayers!!
That's great that you can get a few more hours at work. Every little bit helps. Hopefully this client will come through with some work for your hubby.
Can't wait to see the finished doughnut costume.
Take care
Every like bit helps Dawn. Hopefully your husband will get something even if its not permanent. Good luck with finishing the costume and I look forward to see it. Happy you did end up going to the zoo, sure it was a nice distraction.

Yep - still praying for you guys, Dawn. Sounds like you have things under control. I just know it will all work out for you. Hugs.
I think it's wonderful may be able to freelance. It sounds as tho this could be a WONDERFUL opportunity for him. :) I hope you have a good weekend and a short reprieve from all you guys have been dealing with.
