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.
