Two months later

It's been 2 months since I lost my full time job.  Thank goodness for severance packages.  I've been able to maintain things at home for the most part but there were some sacrifices.  We had to pull my two youngest out of ballet because it was not in the budget.  They didn't really mind because between their mother not wanting to take them to practice and the girls not wanting to go to practice, sometimes it seemed like a waste of money anyway.  Now things are about to get crucial around here.  Everybody wants money and my income was cut by 66%.  I've been trying to find another job but nothing has come through yet.  At this point, 2 months later, I don't know how much longer we can survive like this.
