So, the company where both Hubby and I work was one of the many that announced layoffs in the last week or so. Luckily, both of our jobs appear to be safe for now, but it still makes me a little nervous, especially since our company has already stated that it will be doing more layoffs over the coming months.
It does make me feel good about being a working mom, knowing that if, heaven forbid, Hubby got laid off, we wouldn't lose our family's only source of income. (Hubby and I work in different areas of the company, so hopefully we would not both get laid off at the same time!) I saw a post today on one of my mommy boards from a stay-at-home mom whose husband got laid off. She is pregnant again, and now has no health insurance. I cannot even imagine.
One upside of the bad economy is that our company is seriously slashing travel budgets. That means fewer trips to Seattle, and more time at home with Hubby and Littles! :) I had been going about once a month, but my trip next week will be my first since early November. It would be great to go another 2 to 3 months till my next trip!
