Hubby May Change Jobs

[Tink]

Hopefully the difference in the commute will help make up the difference in pay.
My prayers are with you!

Thanks ladies. We won't even know for sure if he'll take the job until after Monday. He's been a nervous wreck here lately and everytime Ricky is mentioned in the same sentence as Eagle rank, he starts crying. I was shocked. He wants Ricky to get the Eagle rank so bad that it is consuming him while being so unhappy in his job. I've just never seen him like this. Ricky only has two more badges to earn and he can have them within the next 60 days...(he has to have it all done by Dec. 20 when he turns 18).

I know you are going through the financial change too Teri..really sucks doesn't it. I thought after working my entire life, that I'd be able to sit back a little bit and take it easy. Doesn't look like that will ever happen unless I win the lottery and I don't play it.

Right now I'm just feeling a little defeated. I know it will get better...but for right now it sucks big time.

awww Janet, I am sorry! We seem to have a lot in common! I feel so lonely because Kenny and the kids are never here. I can't really do much and it makes me sad.

Kevin is working on Eagle too, but I'm ready to strangle him! He has everything finished...all of the badges, Eagle project done, EVERYTHING. All he has to do is finish the paperwork and submit it. It's like pulling teeth! He was supposed to go to NC to see a friend next month but I told him he isn't going unless all of the Eagle paperwork is in. The HARD part is done, I don't understand him, I really don't! He'll be 18 Dec 4th. If he doesn't get this done he will regret it forever, but I can't get him to think that far ahead!

That is exactly the way Ricky is. He will wait until the very last minute if we let him. We are on him almost everyday to get more done. He really should have had this done last year, because he was in the exact same position. What are we to do? I did tell him he had until the end of Sept. to get it done or else his computer and game system was being put in my closet until it is.

I must be a real dork!! I just found out today, that my husband has been trying to quit drinking!!! YAY!!!!! I sent Ricky to town to get a Papa John's pizza and was telling his dad that I wanted to put a beer in the freezer so it would get good and cold by the time Ricky got back. He said he hasn't bought any for a month. How great is that????

Now I know why he's so nervous and crying over the Eagle scout thing, withdrawals maybe. Sometimes it's best just to tell me straight out...LOL...I get so busy I just don't notice things.

I don't know what the pay difference is between the two jobs, but he will save quite a bit of money on gas, so that should help a little.

It sounds like your hubby is trying to change & be happier, maybe he wants to reconnect with you. Maybe his week off could be a really good week.

Oh Janet! Good for him. I hope he is able to kick it and all goes well for him.
