Still no job..

[Janet]

I can understand Linda. I like having time to myself too. I don't understand, after all this time, why he won't take "something." It's better than nothing. Is he still able to draw unemployment?

You probably need to have a heart to heart. If he's not going to find work, no matter what it is, then he needs to keep that house spotless so you don't have to on your days off. He's probably doing like Rick did when he was out of work. On the computer all day trying to find jobs. I finally told him to get off his a$$ and beat the pavement, so he did. He was only out of work about 4-5 months I think, but I thought I was going to lose my mind with him around all the time.

You vent when ever you want okay, it's so much better than taking a ball bat to them...LOL

I don't know, he did teach me how to shoot a gun 20 years ago. LOL.
I'm just kidding. I love him to much for that. We also found out he is diabetic too.
He went back to the dr today and it's much better. He is on medicine so it is helping thank goodness. But dr put him on blood pressure meds today too.
It was up. When it rains it pours. I'm in the monsoon season right now. lol.

I'm really sorry Linda. It was a big adjustment for me too when my husband got sick and could no longer work. At first he was so sick, it didn't bother me, I spent all my extra time taking care of him. But then as he got better after about a year, I began to really miss my alone time at home. Now we do everything together and I am never alone anymore, but I have gradually gotten used to it.

I just don't know what I'd do if my husband couldn't/wouldn't find a job, I think I'd be plenty mad! I feel like I personally, would take any job just to bring in some income - and to show prospective employers that I had been working, even if it wasn't in my field. I have heard it looks bad to have such a long gap in your resume - although I'm not really sure about that.

I sure hope he finds work SOON!!!

I'm so sorry, Linda. I knew that he had an opportunity that came up and I was praying for him. I know what you mean about needing some time to yourself......with having Karlie all day and Glen and Jaci in the evening. I really appreciate the time that Amy and Tammy watch her.

I agree with Janet about the heart to heart. Let him know that while he's home he could at least help you out. Give him a list for the day or make recommendations on what he can do. Good Luck! I'll be praying.

Thanks Girls,

I gave him a list today. My youngest called me from school because she forgot
a couple of things. So when I went home for lunch I told him what she needed and that he could have the van and take the items to school for her. Then I told him what we needed from the store. SO he had a busy afternoon running errands. Picked me up from work the I told him to go hunting. So now I'm home alone. It's so peaceful now. Now what do i want to fix for supper. I really do appreciate you ladies here.

Thank You.
