Update

OK, sorry it has taken so long. Work has been busy and I have been busy, and well, I just didn't get around to an update...anyways, it seems like a lot of you are busy too because I have enough time to surf the blogs and not to many of you have updated either. So there...I am not alone.



DH did make it to meet with the manager at the new dealership on Monday, and he gave him a written out pay plan (commission stuff), list of benefits, and an idea of what the salary would be. It was based on what the previous guy was on track to make. So, I am not sure because that could mean more or less. DH sounded pretty happy and content. I did some numbers crunching and I think we would be OK on his new salary...it is about $10-15K less than what he was offered to make at the current BS place...but, it is closer to home, better hours, a family orientated type of business, and sounds like very honest and laid back. DH really needs that now. So, the question is whether it is worth it. I think anything right now is worth getting the heck out of this BS place he is at now. Even if it meant an hourly job at Home Depot...but that is me.

DH is trying to figure out the best day to tell his current employer he is leaving since the new place wants him to start this next Monday!! So does he tell them early in the week because odds are they are going to just let him go that day...or does he wait until today or Friday (end of the month) and tell them, risking that they may not just let him go that day? I think he is going to try to tell them today and tell him he would work tomorrow if needed. Otherwise, he was going to go in early tomorrow to tell them. I don't know, weird kind of place and when you don't know what to expect from them...you are a little weary of when to tell them you quit. He is not going to give a 2-weeks notice because he hasn't been there that long and really, they probably wouldn't keep him around that long anyway. But, we will see how it goes. Hopefully tonight he will come home and they will have told him today is his last day...thanks and good riddens!!

I know, I really don't sound that excited about this, do I...or like I really know what is going on. I guess after Monday night when he met with the guy and we talked about the offer...the woo hoo stuff kind of wore off. It has been an exhausting 2-months with DH working such long hours. I guess I am just excited that he would be home at 5:30 every night and have weekends off again. Part of me, truly, doesn't care how much he is making, as long as it helps out with daycare and groceries...we will be fine. It will be nice to have DH sleeping again, and not so exhausted too. He is waking up every morning so tired and falling asleep on the couch, coming home every night really Bit$%ing about everything, Miss J and I are eating more and more by ourselves...it is tiring and will just be good to have him home more.

So, really, I am excited gals...I praise God over and over for this opportunity and continue to pray that DH sees this as another place to work, with better hours, better morale, closer to home, and a paycheck. There are going to be woes and crap with every dealership, but hopefully they are so small compared to this BS place that he can look at them with caring eyes and see the bigger picture. I wonder if that is why God put this BS place in DH's path first...so he could have the comparison to this new place and see that your eyes can't be that big and expect everything to fall at your feet!! There are some compromises sometimes, you just have to weigh them and see them.

So, again, we aren't out of the woods yet. Keep praying that this new job would be a positive change (in many, many ways), and that God would open our eyes to the benefits and compromises and remember that His plan is the way and if we have faith, all will be provided for us.

I have a doc appt this afternoon...get to see how much I have gained in 2-weeks, get to see if my measurements are still ahead of schedule, and get to ask how the heck I keep BP2 from doing gymnastics in my tummy...ALL the time!! And I get to schedule my next u/s in a couple of weeks. yea....can't wait to see the Big bean again!

Hope you all had a great week, and have a wonderful weekend. Thanks for your love and prayers!
