Joseph's schedule is such that he is either gone for two days or home for half a day which makes it hard to plan anything! Or get things done when he does come home in the middle of the day while I'm trying to do naps and clean, etc...Good luck!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17393301964073708558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-14704081459670890502009-03-15T09:54:00.000-07:002009-03-15T09:54:00.000-07:00Anyone as talented as your husband (and I'm speaki...Anyone as talented as your husband (and I'm speaking as an editor/animator) is sure to be employed again before long. I was laid off from my "secure" job of 11 years the year after my daughter was born, and although it wasn't quite the "one door opens as another closes" cliche and the process of giving birth to something new in my life wasn't instant, it's a journey I look back on with absolute gratitude. <BR/><BR/>I pray blessings will come to J and your family and that the path will reveal itself to you.<BR/><BR/>And as others have said, your optimism and faith are inspiring and are what will lead the way.<BR/><BR/>Best of luck.mosey (kim)https://www.blogger.com/profile/14990626697257089908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3995129684573254340.post-26813975880963220282009-03-13T13:07:00.000-07:002009-03-13T13:07:00.000-07:00Hoping the best for J and you with the recent job ...Hoping the best for J and you with the recent job loss.

With his talent it seems he should have people knocking down your door to be the first to get him now that he's available. I wish you the best with that. And enjoy your cake together!<BR/><BR/>And thank you so much for reminding me about German chocolate cake! I've been craving it so badly that I made it for my birthday last year even though I had to substitute walnuts because they don't have pecans and I HATE walnuts. The cake was so delicious, except for the walnuts, and I had to scrape off the topping. SAD! But now I've found pecans here so I definitely need to give it another shot!
