Idearc?

Bro. Hartman let Kyle know that Idearc is hiring last night and this morning he found out they have a product manager position open! So say a prayer for us!



And in general I have been meaning to let everyone know how we are faring in this blustery economy and unemployed time. Most of the time we are very frustrated. But the rest of the time we are grateful. We are glad we took some steps to get our financial house in order. We are a little upset that we didn't do even better at that, but we are in a decent spot. We are doing our best to stretch out what is in the bank. I have even taken my slightly embarrassed self down to the WIC office to get benefits. Hey, we qualify (and we paid the taxes into it). I am only putting this out there on the blog so others in our position will understand that its not wrong to do everything in your power to save.



Now about Christmas, When this lay-off was just on the horizon I took measures immediately for Christmas. All items for the big man in red were ordered in early fall and have been tucked away since. I knew come what may I didn't want to be stressing over that. I take Christmas very seriously :) As far as what will be exchanged other than that - It will be very modest. I am actually looking forward to that. We have prepared the kids to expect less and they seem to completely understand. Its time we become less materialistic at Christmas.
