• Exactly. I has a post in another group about this same thing and person said to find another job. Ummmm DUH?!!!!!
  

  Quoting mommybug77:
  
  

  It wasn't until DH was laid off yesterday. He was the only one is the house working. He is also union so it is not like he can just go take any job. A minimum wage job would never cover our mortgage let alone the other bills.

• We are actually better! My husband just got promoted at work and increased our income a lot.  We are taking a trip in 2 weeks. groceries are little more but we are still buying what we always have because we refuse to buy junk food to save, and we even cut our electric bill in 1/2 because we keep everything unplugged if it is not in use.  We paid off a lot of our bills and went down to just necessities in bills. 

  I am a 25 year old wife to Ben(6/07/03) and mommy to Connor(5/14/06) who was planned and most likely our only child.  I vaccinate, don't co-sleep, feed healthy food, SAHM, college student, proud preschool mom, scrapbooker, love date nights with my husband.
