Hey Amber,

I am just catching up on videos. I am SO sorry that this happened to you guys. The whole economic stuff didn't seem real until all of this job loss started happening, you know? I really hope this doesn't affect your school stuff too much. Hopefully this bill they're trying to pass will get needed help to everyone really quickly.

[meltingmamma]

I'm actually working at my surgeons office. They hired me to come in 3 days a week and help with insurance issues. I really enjoy it, its just a lot to get use to! How about you, what are you doing?

[puttingonmywings]

I hope for the very best for you and your family! I run my own business and it is very tough right now - thankfully my husband has security in the army. I really hope everything works out well for you

[workingonfreedom]

Everyone can feel your pain. Take care and keep chuggin..that's all you can do.

I'm so sorry about your bad news. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Things are tough right now but try to keep your head positive. My fiance and I were layed off in December of 2004 and he went back to school then and I was already in school. It's hard to balance everything but I have faith you can do it! Hugs, Amy

[workingonfreedom]

thanks amy!

[weightnC]

Oh Amber, I'm so sorry. That sucks!!! I'm glad you are able to get more hours to get more income in, but it sucks that it is so hard you on. I'll keep you guys in my prayers.

I am too chicken to even try coach to 5K, so kudos to you for even giving it a shot. :)

take care - jenn

[workingonfreedom]

lol thanks jenn!

[wbrca1]

You will pull through it. God is in control. No matter how hard its going to get. He will pull you through it. About the 5k. At least you gave it your all or tried. There are a lot of people who dont even attempt it. :) May God continue to bless you and your family. :)

[workingonfreedom]

thanks!

[MyStillLife]

Praying for you and your family...the Lord is in control and promises not to leave us or forsake us...even if we don't always understand why He allows things to happen the way they do sometimes. :) Keep us posted!

[workingonfreedom]

[Peterson2u]

Girlfriend! You stay strong! God will always provide! :) I know times are hard for alot of people. Something will come up for your hubby! probably something better!!! :)

[workingonfreedom]

Thanks!! I sure hope so!

[mia2292]

Sorry to hear it, but these are also opportunities for changing directions, and new and better things! A lot of entrepreneurs are born out of times like these. Hang in there!

[workingonfreedom]

I know you are right. He's talking about finishing his degree now, as am I, and really in the long run it is good for us! Its hard right now though!! Thanks!!

[mia2292]

Kudos to both of you! The majority of America is small business, and we are still transitioning from an industrial society to more of a knowledge society. My spouse worked at Nucor steel, and he said that he was so happy to leave that place. Move toward earning a living doing work that is satisfying for you, working with and for people that you enjoy.

[bobosmomma]

hang in there you are in my prayers.

[workingonfreedom]

Thank you!

[allisonpacino]

I'm sorry to hear about this Amber. It is a scary time ,but I know that God will see us through this crazy time.

[workingonfreedom]

Thanks Allison!

[Seedcovers]

I am sorry to hear that you are down to one income right now. Just keep your focus, don't let the "economy" take a toll on you.

[workingonfreedom]

I'll try not to. :) thanks!

[winelover215]

Hang in there Amber.  Now you can hop right back on the C25K ... when your ready. It works!

[workingonfreedom]

Thanks Tom. I do want to do it!

[bratlee2u]

Oh, Amber. That is horrible news. You and your family will be in my prayers. You do NOT suck. Yes, you need to exercise but you probably do enough running around work to justify not exercising right now. Congrats on the 1 lb. If you need a friend, let me know.

[workingonfreedom]

Thanks Brit. It means a lot. xoxo

[katiejuly]

[MySilentSerenity]

Hey Amber!!!! Everything that's going on in our country right now isn't fair at all. There are so many hard working people who have put in their time at their employers who think they are safe and the truth is no one is safe and it's so un settling. You and your family will be in my thoughts. I wish you the best of luck. Keep your head up and everything will pull through.

[workingonfreedom]

thank you!

[Thebodells]

Amber, we will keep you and your family in our prayers. Things will get better, don't panic and don't think your a loser. What your feeling is natural.

[workingonfreedom]

thanks

[ladyblue3]

Your not a loser (well maybe as far as weight loss) you just have a lot going on. I hope things settle for you and your family and you can ride out these crazy economic times.

[workingonfreedom]

[yellowknife4]

Lots to think about, but nothing to worry about !

You will move forward.....

Praying for ya.

[workingonfreedom]

[tallsmartbeauty]

I will pray for you because this economy is really bad. And we just have to do everything we can. But what sucks is that so many people are doing so so bad.

[workingonfreedom]

[workingonfreedom]

[modeadwyler]

I am sorry to hear about your current situation. I was where you are now about 6 months ago. My husband lost his job and I was working a ton of hours to make the bills AND going to nursing school. It can be done but you will be worn out. Just remember that the situation will pass...as long as you have love in your house that is all that matters. I will be thinking of you in your hard times. Keep your head looking upward!

[workingonfreedom]

Thank you.

[ChristineJovan]

Wow, you and I are going through the same issues... NO warning and my hubby was laid off Friday as well in the telecommunications field. Things will get better. Keep your head up. Great job on the weight loss. What are you going to school for?

[workingonfreedom]

:hugs: Sorry you are going thru this too! I'm going back for my RN.

[ChristineJovan]

Good for you... You'll see a big difference in the paycheck by having those 2 initials after your name. I am going back to school as well but I will be getting my BS in Psychology. I graduate July 2010 and then I hope to work as a middle school or high school counselor.

[workingonfreedom]

Well good luck to both of us then!!! xoxo
