Those Freakin' big lemons

Yeah, okay so we all have heard the saying when life gives you lemons you make lemonade. Well, right now it feels like we're getting ready to have a truck full of lemons dropped right at our front door!
So Hubby's job is on the brink of shutting down. Month to month, we kept trying to look to the positive side, maybe things will pick up, we just need to hang in there, it's all talk, well, you can only be positive for so long. Slowly things have been crumbling down, now it's just about to fall completely apart. There's really no more positive thinking, forget the "if it's" now it's "when". So here comes those lemons rolling up our driveway. Too many to dodge, time to grab them and figure out what to do with them.
I hate this feeling, feeling of the unknown, how to continue, how to survive, it's not just him and me, it's him, me, her, him, him, and him. That's a lot on my mind. Enough to feel the tears barely hanging on the lids of my eyes. What do we do? It's not like there's jobs out there just waiting for us.
So what can we do? Time to start thinking out of the box. Maybe this is the time for us to consider starting a business out of our home? A lot of people are doing that now a days. We have a lot to offer, why not us? When my Mom first brought up the idea of us buying a house we didn't think we'd qualify for anything, turns out we qualified for a brand new house, having exactly what we wanted at the time.
Everything happens for a reason, so I'm told. I'm still learning from that phrase because I haven't seen the comfortable side of living. Okay so there's a reason, maybe my thought of comfortable is different from others thinking. My idea of comfortable is buying what we want, when we want, and not worrying about not having enough until the next pay check. Is it just me or do we all live this way? I don't think so, I see others happy buying and spending, going here and there, and then there's us. We stay home, try to make fun out of what we have and hope that's enough for our children. Granted, my children don't really complain, their wishes are to go on bike rides, to go to the movies, to have a friend come over, to go swimming, to play basketball, baseball, soccer, golf, outside in the morning. They really aren't that picky I just worry about them when they go back to school and friends are talking about vacations they took or places they went to. I dread that story their teachers ask them to write "What we did or where we went over summer vacation". I want my kids to have something great to say and so far it doesn't look that way. It's not too late, maybe we'll take them camping for the first time, the fair's coming, they always look forward to that. Time for us to start squeezing those lemons and eventually we'll find our way to the sugar to sweeten it up. I have to believe we'll make that great lemonade there's just no place for any sourness in our lives!!

Just a Mom feeling those freakin' big lemons rolling up our way....
