Don't want to go into just now, because I simply might lose it, but I am leaving the office to go home because of an emergency with Justin. Not trying to insight panic, just don't know exactly what I'm dealing with yet. Think of our little family. Please.
***Well...it's not great. But, we're not the only ones in this boat, I guess. Justin (and another server) lost their jobs yesterday because they were "taking the restaurant in a new direction" and wanted to start fresh with new people. The owner called him on the phone and told him while Justin was trying to feed Violet her morning bottle. He was very cavalier in his approach, and very much "Oh well, good luck to you!" and Justin is just beside himself with grief and anger and well...when he called me at work yesterday to tell me, he said he needed me to come home because he felt like he was losing his grip on any reality he might have. The baby was screaming and and he sounded like he was a centimeter tall. His voice was so small. So...defeated. Like he had just shrivelled up and died right there. So, I quickly had my mother go pick up Violet and take her for the day because I just didn't feel right about having her there with him--he sounded so changed, you see? And, I had his father call him, to make sure that he wasn't going to do anything stupid. He didn't say that he was, but he didn't at all sound like himself. And I know my husband. I know when he's very upset and this was...strange. He was disassociated. So, I went home and found him lying in a fetal position on the couch with some sleeping pills on the table. Thankfully, it was a new bottle, seal still on. So, I'm not sure what he was thinking of...rest, or the other thing. Anyway, I made him get up, wash his face, comb his hair, shave, etc..and drove him first to the unemployment office and second to the emergency services to have him evaluated. They gave him some sedatives and a referral to a psych. In the meantime, I'm just trying to keep it together and not think about what will happen to us. We were already just barely making it....And if I let myself think too much on that part, I think I might have to check myself in to the ward, too. I was pretty together until I saw Violet. And now I can't stop crying or feeling like we're just going to get swallowed. What little time I slept last night, I dreamt that I was drowning in a stormy sea.
He won't be able to make a claim until 10/20 for unemployment, but is starting to look for a job, any job, today. I'm just not sure what we will do. Please continue to think of us...thanks girls, for worrying about us. |

Thinking of you Jonni and hoping everything will be o.k. Very worried about you though.

Prayers sent.
My husband was laid off from his job of 17 years when our son was 6 months old. I am a sahm. I was terrified, but my husband had a job the next day and it was a better job. When God closes a door , he opens a window. I truly believe that. Instead of looking at the closed door, remind your hubby to look for the open window. |

I sent you an email. This happened to David after working ten years for the KY Humane Society. No notice, nothing. He had to clear out his office in an hour. What didn't kill us made us stronger. We took the piddly severance money and had a basement dug and started the addition on the farmhouse. And another door did open and the job he has now is better than before.

Just caught the update, and I am relieved that no mortal injury has befallen either of you or Violet. However, I can completely sympathize with you. My thoughts are with you, warm hugs to you and your little family. Prayers that Justin will find another job very, very quickly.

Thinking of you and sending prayers.... When ones door closes, another opens....it's that cheesy saying but it is true....I know it's going to be hard, but you have to be strong right now... I have been in a somewhat similar position... I wish I had more helps and assurances to give...you know we're (farmgirls) here if you need us!

Jonni, you, Justin, and Violet are in my prayers. I have been worried and I'm so sorry to hear about this. I hope that Justin feels better soon. I pray that something even better jobwise will come along for him. If you need anything or there's anything I can do please let me know. (((Hug)))

Jonni, what a crummy thing to have happen and the way they did it too. Sometimes you wonder what has happened to compassion and being as civil and making it easier on people being let go. I am very sorry that you have to deal with this. Poor Justin was probably so shocked and stunned he really didn't have time to process it all, and got very overwhelmed. You know many other people are in the same boat, but it is still scary when it happens to your own family. You did all the right things for Justin and I know a job will come a long. I pray for all of you. Remember honey, as long as you still have each other and your darling baby you two will be fine, that is what really matters in this world, that I know for sure.Everything else will follow.
Hugs, love and prayers,
MJ

Praying for all of you. I hope another job comes along for Justin that's even better than the one he had. Sounds like you're doing all the right things. I don't know if you're a church-goer, but it might be helpful to seek spiritual support. hang in there...

Jonni-- I understand the scads of emotions you must be feeling. I am praying God would hold you in His arms and that He would show you the way when right now it doesn't seem like there is one.
Hugs and prayers to all of you!!
