Perks of Having an Unemployed Husband:
1. He is his own boss
2. He can have time off whenever he wants or needs it
3. I have a babysitter 24/7 for when I need to run errands, go to appts, work...
4. I have extra help with the kids
5. We can go to the Temple anytime we want
6. The "honey do list" can get some attention
7. I'm sure there's more... :)
P.S. THANK-YOU to everyone for all your well wishes, prayers and sweet comments. It means a lot to us to have such great friends and family. We are so grateful to all of you for your love and support during this time!!!

Good girl Heidi--I'll try not to be a buzz kill or anything, but I can't imagine any man (even a spectacular one like Kyle)getting completely through a honey do list. If nothing else motivates him to get a job the honey do list will!! You guys will be fine, if worse comes to worse you can move in our basement and Kyle can employ himself with baseboard hanging, and the funky electrical system of this house. You will be fully employed in brushing my kids teeth and flossing them--we don't have dental insurance and I would rather eat dirt than deal with someone else's teeth (NASTY) so needless to say someone should pay attention to their oral hygiene!! For sure he'll get a job with that threat hanging over his head!! I love you both and will keep you in our prayers.
Way to stay positive Heidi! Love it!
I'm glad your enjoying it. Like you said, if you knew how long it would last, you could really enjoy the time together more.
I was at a meeting last night and one of the women there was complaining about her unemployed husband driving her crazy and messing up her routine "what are you doing?", "why are you always on the phone?', "is this what you do all day?". She keeps wondering if this is what retirement will be like! I guess there are some perks to having him gone sometimes too so you can miss him!
He's always wanted to be his own boss. But aren't Kate and Preston his 'bosses'. They tell him what to do all day long, ha.
Becky's plan might not be too bad. :) But then again, it might be.
The Temple is a great idea. Line up a sitter!
Hehe, I imagine those are some great perks. I loved it when Steve took the week of Christmas off work. Lemme know if you need someone to watch the kids for a bit while you go to the temple or something. You know I don't go anywhere during the day. ;-)
Your positive attitude is contagious :) !!
I'm so sorry Heidi. I hope things turn around quickly. You are so fortunate to have a built-in back up plan already with your work! I wish you two the best.
i am Kyle's coworker who got laid off on the same day. it's a big stinkin' bummer, and they didn't even tell me they would hire me back. no matter. we'll all be somewhere else by then.
it's too bad that i (we) can't just enjoy this time off, but it's so scary when you don't know the date that you will be returning to work (if ever). i wish the best to you and your family.

Heidi you are a great example of "enduring it well" like Pres. Latimer talked about on Sunday.
