The recession is hitting...

So far we have been doing OK with this recession. Yes, we have cut back on our expenses a little yet suddenly it seems to be hammering us on the head!

Sir L finds out next week if he is going to be laid off or not. If he is lucky & he gets to keep his job he is hit with a 5% pay decrease & no 401K. If not we are in the "do do" as there is no work around here as we live in the boonies.

My Preschool has a low registration so far for the Fall so I am hoping that we will get a few more little darlings so I still have a job.

I am ready to dig up the garden and plant a huge vegetable patch, get ducks, chickens and goats and pretend we are in the "Good Life!" Remember how men always fell in love with Felicity Kendall? Not that I would be the Margo type at all...except for her love of drinking!

Maybe I should plant a vineyard........

I'll keep my fingers and toes crossed for Sir L!

You should definitely put in a veggie garden. We've been thinking about it. Well, I've been thinking about it for the last 4 years and DH has been fighting me on it - never agreeing with my suggestions as to where to put it. So I dropped it - and guess what? This year he raised the idea all by himself and has decided that it should go where I wanted it in the first place! It may be another 4 years before it actually happens though . . .
