My husband has been doing his best to find another job, but nothing has worked out so far. I guess we will have to start packing and head back to Tennessee. At least we have a nice house back in Nashville that is paid for and in a nice neighborhood. The house can be put up for sale for about the same price as what we paid for it. We just can’t make the mortgage payment without my husband’s income.
Not a Happy 4th
I’ve always loved the Fourth of July. It’s a day off with family and neighbors, picnics or barbecues, parades and fireworks.
But this year, we just found out that my husband has been laid off from his job that brought us here to Chicago. He only has a week or so to find another job here with comparable pay, or we are going to have to move. We’ve only been here about two years and I was just starting feel settled in. I don’t want to move again – I like it here.
So while the rest of the country is celebrating, we are searching the online job sites and starting to think about packing.
