Money Troubles

Hey everyone! I know my posts are usually positive, but a lot of you have been asking why we aren't staying at the hotel where Blogger Fair is actually occurring. The truth is, we are suffering deeply with money problems. I've decided to be completely honest with you guys and not hold anything back.

Obviously with 6 kids, money has always been a bit of a problem. We have been able to get by, except for the past few months. In the end of March, Jeff got laid off. He got a part time, 2 days a week position somewhere else, but it doesn't make up for the 60 hours per week job he had before. I can't work a lot, just some of my online work. It doesn't add up to much, and we are really struggling. We are surviving off of his 20 hour a week job and my blog. We didn't have the money for a hotel, we barely have enough for groceries.

Jeff applied for 3 positions, all paying what he used to get, and he will get a call Monday if he gets the position. He applied for 14 jobs before this, all he wasn't accepted. We are hoping and praying that he will get one of these jobs, please pray!
