Husband gave me the news that he is working only four days this week and then is taking all next week off.  I don't know if that is good or bad.  I won't be here for the most part as I have the mail route for Saturday-Saturday.   I am going to hope for good and pray real hard to stay patient.  He doesn't cook he doesn't clean, he doesn't do chores so for me it is real difficult to know he's here all day and I still have to come home after a job and do everything else too.

He also is all excited about getting laid off this year.  I am not.  The last time he was laid off it was 3 months and all he did was read newspapers, shadow me and go driving around.  It caused me so much stress I had anxiety attacks and ended up in the ER.  He doesn't understand that I am not used to being watched in everything I do (or don't do) and having a constant shadow scrutinizing me makes me nervous.  So I am praying REAL HARD that God shows me how to deal with it this time around.  He has plenty of work to be done around here and I wish he'd do it rather than get into my business.

So I am already getting riled up and it ain't even happened yet. 

I was at the thrift store yesterday when I overheard the young woman behind the counter say to someone "I can only work 2 days a week or I lose my health insurance."  I about wanted to cry.  My husband works full time, I work part time and we have no health insurance because I am not given it and husband's work policy is so high it takes more than one paycheck a month.  So we go without.  It really bugs me to hear stuff like this.  What is wrong with a system that takes a perfectly healthy 20 something and rewards her NOT to work.  It is crazy talk!
