Gakkk!

On the way to take Zelda to get her hair cut, the phone rang.

Her client called to let her know that the company is taking all projects in house.
Doesn't matter that she has two years of working relationship with this particular client, nor that she is faster and cheaper than doing it in house, the new pres of the company is trying to keep his folks employed...

While it was only 8 hrs a week for Z, it covered all her monthly expenses...
That would include our cell phones and internet...

I have an interview tomorrow am.
A friend called with two possible leads with interiors firms.

He's a fellow Aggie.

Cross your fingers...

Zelda is sad for a number of reasons.
One being she wanted to have her business so she could stay home to care for our baby...

Had the economy not turned south, we had everything in place for her to be able to take two months off after the birth...

We currently have too much in our savings, (two month's expenses) to qualify for medicare.

Our mortgage company can't help us until we are behind in our payments.

They will allow a Short Sale - allowing the house to sell for less than we owe on it.

They will allow a Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure, but the house will need to be on the market for at least 90 days... that would be the week the baby is due...
***
We are keep on keeping on...

The weather is too nice to be sad...
