I know that isn't really the term, but I am going with it! We have had a rollercoaster couple of weeks. We have been going back and forth on what to do about our kids, adoption, work, money, everything!
We finally came to the conclusion that Shon would quit his full time job and work his part time night job, knowing he will get back on full time there in July. It will still be nights, but that is kinda what we needed. Babysitters were going to cost us $800+ a month which was the sum of one of my paychecks a month. Which to me, made it pointless of one of us working, save that money and not have a stranger watching my kids.
SO...here is how it all went down. Shon gave his two week notice from his job on Monday. Well, instead of letting him work out his two weeks (budget wise for us) they fired him! **SIDE NOTE, I would not reccomend working for IM Flash Technologies to ANYONE! Even my worst enemy! They suck as a company and are skimming the line of of having several lawsuits coming their way from many different people with the way they handle things.
So anyways, that made me freak out, because we were really budgeting on him working those two weeks on top of his part time job. But, little did I know...well atleast I am hoping, things might just be ok.
Shon informed ModusLink (his part time job--FYI the job he worked at for 5 years when we first got married) that he no longer worked for IM Flash, so immediately they called him to pick up another 12 hours--on top of his 24 hours he gets already for the week. Then they called him back again and asked him to work 10 hour shifts next week, which makes it full time for him next week too!
On top of all of that, since those are night shifts (which is what helps us--no babysitting cost and Shon works better at night) I get to work pretty much all of my hours...as before I was having to take an hour lunch to take David to school, leave early to pick one of the boys up somewhere in town. So this saves my hours too!
ModusLink can't offcially hire Shon on until July, but that is ok. We are almost positive he will be hired, and the are going to give him nights or weekend (days).
I have to admit, after the weekend and Monday I was SO done. I was having major anxiety attacks, freaking out about everything, money, kids, work...but I have faith that we will be taken care of and I just need to trust that we will never be given a trial we can not handle.
So let's just hope that everything works out and we will be set for getting in to a house like we wanted and finally have some stable careers.
