AW…that’s really awesome. R-T has been home for a week of vacay, and the first day is always a little bumpy, but we’ve navigated the rest of the week quite nicely actually. And we’ve even been snowed in for the past two days, and still aren’t looking for the bullets yet. I’m impressed with us. Keep it up, you family you!!

DH and I get on each other’s neves when we’re home too much, but I like to think, push come to shove, we would handle it with grace. I do hope we won’t have to find out. Regardless, it’s a lovely post and testament.

I keep saying my recent mantra: “It is what it is.” For whatever reason, that’s helping me to keep things in perspective. We’ve all had our mini-meltdowns this past month and a half, but thankfully I could count them all on one hand and still have a finger or two left over.

Awwwwwww! This makes me happy reading this….And yes, like what Sandra said. So many families buckle under the stress of unemployment.
And I love the way you’re handling the employment search with such an open mind and a spirit of adventure. True life lessons for PL.

I’m glad it’s going well. When Mom #2 is out of work we do really well for a few days, but then she has to get out and go SOMEWHERE after a week or so, for both of our sake, LOL.

Sounds like y’all are doing great. I hope DW finds something soon . . . you know . . . but not too soon.

I’m truly impressed at the grace with which your family is handling a stressful situation, even managing to enjoy each others’ company in trying times.

I love the days we’ve spent together when one or the other ends up with no work. It’s usually because of the weather.

But we do get on each other’s nerves occasionally.

Still, it’s nice to have nothing important that we have to go do. We play cribbage, watch movies, snuggle on the couch…

Ahh.

When we transfered to shore duty I was a bit worried about how things would change. Ian would be home EVERY SINGLE NIGHT! Would the boys and I adjust, not to mention Ian being able to snap out of work mode? After 3 years of shore duty I was crushed when we had to return to sea duty… I had a glimpse into “normal life” and loved it….

Sounds like you all are enjoying your family time…
