Rattled Mind

I don't know if it's because we have a big presidential election coming up or what, but many things keep swirling around in my mind. The main issue is our economy. I have heard a couple of times on tv from financial "experts" that this is the worst in modern times since the great depression. The GREAT DEPRESSION. That is some scary shit! When I think of the Great Depression I imagine everyone out of work, people living in shelters, families being torn apart. I hope to God that does not happen to us. But hopefully our government won't let it get that far. They had to have learned from the mistakes of the past, right? I hope so.
Right now I am a stay at home mom and my husband works in the car industry. But since his salary depends on commission sales, times are rough. My husband said more and more dealership are closing! He's working more hours and bringing home less $$$, ugh! I know right now is the time when I should be working to help him pay the bills but I just don't know how, with unemployment being up so high and plus having to pay for school and day care for 3 children. I'm not sure of what all of our futures hold but I know several people that have lost their jobs recently and it just scares the crap out of me.
Regardless of who is elected our next president, they have a hell of job ahead of them. Everybody is going to look to him to change and improve everything. So God bless who takes that position of running our country...he'll need all of our prayers!

I was watching the news last night and I was thinking the same thing. I keep wondering how much worse it's going to get. I was also thinking about my dad last night and I worry about him working so much, he's going to be 60 soon! Let's hope for the best...xoxo
