Who Knows

So I have been going through a wide range of emotions this last week. We found out Mike's group will be cutting 40% of the staff. My first emotion, panic. We have lived fairly frugally except this last summer. We have money in the bank and no debt except our house payment, but I can't help but worry. I knew all the debt would catch up to the country someday, but I thought if I had followed the rules, I wouldn't really be affected. I love to have a plan for everything so this has been hard. I was able to block it out a bit with Rockband Saturday night. Sunday helped Mike and me a ton. It was good to interact with people who weren't feeling totally down about things. I am so grateful to be able to feel the Holy Ghost give me comfort. I am also SO grateful to have a hard working husband who has done all he could no matter what the outcome comes to be. We all have our health and still live a great life, so I shouldn't really complain. :) This has been a good wake up call for me. I do check prices on most things I buy, but I think from now on I am going to be loving the bulk section at WinCo. I looked at the price of a 5 pound bag of brown rice I had purchased a couple months back and it was $7. I looked in the bulk section and the same rice is a dollar per pound. Good to know even if Mike is able to keep his job!
