Sorry I have been MIA for over a week. It has been a busy one, with lots going on...and more to come. Quick update:
*I didn't weigh in last week at WW. I usually go at lunch on Wednesday, well, I was busy with work and just decided to go another day (wasn't really looking forward to it anyway), but then the "another day" slipped away. So I just decided to wait until this week. Hopefully I will do better!
*My FIL got another stem cell transplant of his own stem cells on Friday the 3rd. This was in hopes to help cure this stomach thing he has going on. Last Sunday went well with the anointing and blessing and prayer. We all feel like there is a light at the end of the tunnel now. He looks a lot better, and you can even see it in his eyes that he feels like he is progressing with the healing now. Keep praying though...
*My DH's job has been only getting worse and more stressful. I have been very patient because I know it is only a temporary thing. He decided to start looking for another job last week because the hours and stress he is bringing home is not the best for the family. He feels it and knows it, and doesn't want to be in this type of situation any more.
Soo, Saturday, DH took the day off for a friends party we were going to. His boss called him at home to inform him that the owner has asked DH to be written up for two things (really stupid things) and that as of Tuesday (because he has today off too), he will no longer be working there. Our response, "Good, at least you will get unemployment and don't have to quit on your own and end up with no money until another job comes along." It was kind of a relief with all the crap that is going on...but then yesterday and today it is really hitting me. I think it is hitting DH too.
I don't know what to say or do. I am really starting to get scared. I mean, unemployment will help, but barely keep us above water. Now, if he were able to get his commission that they have owed him from the past 11 months...that would assist us very well for a few months. But, that is in debate right now with the owner. Again...a bunch of BS. So DH is talking to a lawyer friend he knows, we are going to contact the labor board, and going to take every avenue we know to take so he doesn't get screwed out of almost $10K. Yes...it is that much.
Ohhhh, I am just so furious on one end with how poorly this company is managed and what idiots the owners are and how unfairly and poorly they have treated their employees...then on the other hand I am scared to death about what we are going to do with only one income. It was fine when it was just the two of us. But now we have day care and baby expenses.
Guess this is another test of our faith.
So that is a quick update...there is sooo much more to tell you about, but I have to get some work done this morning. I will update you as soon as I can...and you know, who knows what will actually happen tomorrow. The manager could have talked to the owner and told him that it would be a GREAT loss to the department and that most likely the rest of the staff will leave shortly if DH is let go, etc. and it could end up tomorrow that he still has his job. But, then what? Does he quit anyway because he is so frustrated and miserable? Or stick it out and find something else and keep pushing away at the commission that they owe him.
OMGoodness...what to do. The turmoil I am feeling in my stomach is unbelievable. Hey, if anything, it sure fuels me to run and work out like a fiend.
Hope you have a good Monday...will update you soon.

I'm sorry you are feeling so stressed over the job situation. I will pray that things work themselves out quickly and that you'll both be feeling much more relaxed in just a matter of time.
Wow, that is a lot to deal with right now. I will be praying that everything works itself out with your DH's job situation. It doesn't sound like it's a good one and I hope that God will reveal to you both what His plan is.
Love,
Erin
I hope things get better for you. I will keep you in my thoughts.
Wow! It does sound like a lot is going on. I hope that everything works out with your DH's job and money and things. That is a lot of money to potentially get screwed out of! Hopefully everything works in your favor. And don't worry about (I know, easier said than done) about your finances. God knows your situation; He will take care of you. :o)
I'm glad to hear that your FIL is feeling better and I will keep him in my prayers.
I'm sorry to hear about the situation with your husband's job. It does sound pretty stressful. I hope that a solution comes to you soon. Keep your head up...He will provide! :)
I'm so sorry about DH's job! Your right about this being another test of faith. God will provide. I know He will!
Glad FIL is doing better, I will keep praying for him.
I hope all of this craziness settles down soon.
Your family is in my prayers, as always.
I'm so sorry to hear you're going through this stress right now. I know that has to be tough! I will pray that everything works out for you guys. I know it will!
I know your stress level has got to be through the roof right now!...I am so sorry!
I wish your husband the best of luck and with a positive attitude and determination, he'll find a new job in no time!!!
GOOD LUCK and I'll be praying for you, your husband, and your FIL!!
