So our boss called yesterday and asked if he could meet with us. We were all very nervous. He gave us the good news first, which was that they had enough funds to pay us for next school year. Then the not so good news was that all our contracts were cut. So instead of working 220 days a year, I will work 200. That is a significant monthly financial cut for us but I am sooooooo grateful that I still have a job. When I first knew that a lay off was a real possibility, a few months ago, I was concerned that we did not have more in savings and more food storage. So, now I'm committed to putting all we can in in savings and adding to the food storage. I don't want to be in that position again where I feel we can't make it through a tough economic time. The church has warned and warned, and encouraged and taught us to prepare for hard times and disasters. I feel that that advice has been stressed a lot lately. So I'm going to work on this.
Something I haven't done for many years is plant a garden, so I think I will plant 2 or 3 things this year and see how I do? I definitely don't have a green thumb so this could be a challenge.
