Sometimes, it's hard to see the silver lining.

My husband has been unemployed since December. Amelia was 3 months old. She is now 9 months old. This sucks.

I'm working full-time from home when there is work to do for litigation. I just feel like I'm busting my ass for my family, and I am TIRED. I wish Alex had a job. We need the money, but I also need a BREAK. Seriously.

But we really do need the money. Right now we can't save because we don't have any extra money. It would be nice to be able to put money away.

I guess the silver lining is that we don't have to pay for childcare, and Alex gets to bond with our daughter. Yes...those are silver linings. But I still want him to have a job.
