What Unemployment Looks Like

I am proud to say that my husband started his new job today. Yay!! That said, I thought I would give you a look at what changes we have made since the recession hit home. (You already know about my Diet Dr. Pepper situation.)




We've been eating this. . .

Thankfully, my dad is a farmer. He provides us with lots of beef. I feel a little bit like Bubba when I say we've had beef steak, chicken fried steak, roast, hamburgers, hamburger helper, roast as barbecue meat, etc.

As you know, Kevin is a hunter. He provides us with our limit of venison. Again, we've had venison stew, venison chili, venison Hamburger Helper, fried venison. . .

Therefore, fried potatoes and beef or venison have been on nearly every menu. Not that I'm complaining. We did not starve. That is very important. Now, however, I'm ready for some healthier alternatives. . .like cheesecake.

It looks like we're about to get a serious ice storm in Paradise. I'm going to attempt to pre-post this week, so please do not be offended if you don't get a response to your comments, as I will be attempting to stay warm, remain sane, and entertain my two kids at my parents house without driving them insane (the kids--my parents are already there).
