Stupid Friday the 13th

My husband got laid off last Friday.....can anyone say "Happy Friday the 13th?" The kids are uber excited that they get to play with Daddy "all day!" He'd been working 10 hour days six days a week with a hour and a half commute each way......so he wasn't home so much. Ahh, the life of an electrician. He seems to either be working his butt off or at home sitting on it! No normal 8 hours 5 days a week for us! The really stupid thing is that he can make more collecting unemployment than doing anything here in town, even though unemployment is only about a third of what he makes weekly when he is working. At least, I managed to set aside some money this time so we aren't completely screwed the instant his paychecks stop coming. My new mantra is "Everything will be okay"......repeat until the words stop sounding like words.
