I took a new job


MyBrownEyedBoy wrote: I'm still at the hospital, but I took a job that will have me working M-F, 8am-4:30pm. I'll be home every weekend and on all major holidays, but I'll no longer have my 7on/7off schedule. Aaron's complained that he spends too much time alone on the weekends for years now and if I stayed on my 7/7 schedule, I'd be working the next 6 Christmases and Thanksgivings. Not really fun. Anyway, I also decided that if push comes to shove, M-F is better in a custody situation. So my daycare prices went up from $200/month to $325/month, but at least he's happy there and loves Miss Micah.

moped replied: Congrats girl - I think that will be great!!!!!!!

It will be an adjsutment for you to go from shifts to M-F but after a couple weeks it will be all good!

Is there any more news on things?

KingMom replied: Congrats on the new job! I thought things were getting better?

TheOaf66 replied: congrats on the new job, glad you'll have weekends free thumb.gif

redchief replied: Gratz on regular hours! thumb.gif

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
We're still living together, he was in a very bad place when he said that, I know it, he knows it. Still hurt. Anyway, he agreed to go back to counselling and I agreed that we'd move into a rental rather than going into a quarter million dollar debt right away. We'll buy a lot and work on our marriage at the same time we work on our dream log home.

luvmykids replied: Good for you, hope you like the new schedule hug.gif

Calimama replied: Congrats! I hope you like it. hug.gif

redchief replied:
It sounds like a good plan for healing the chasm that has developed between you two. I hope and pray that you can work out your differences and heal your marriage.

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
Thank you, Ed. I do still love him more than nearly anything. I never wanted this to be a "starter" marriage.

lovemy2 replied: That sounds great Kelly - even though it must have been nice to have those 7 days off with Logan - it will be nice to have a "normal" routine - good for you and Logan and maybe also your marriage - I know ours suffers from DHs schedule - he works 4 days on 2 days off - and more or less we are like ships passing in the nite as far as weekends, etc. the only thing that saves us from time to time is that he does work days so he is home at nite -

Sounds like things are coming together in some senses for you -

I will be in touch - now that the trauma of Kindergarten is over:)smile.gif

bawoodsmall replied: Congrats on the new hours. Good luck on the homefront. I believe marriage is hard and takes a lot of work. I hope the two of you can work things out.

Our Lil' Family replied: Glad to hear that y'all are going to continue to work on things Kelly. Maybe this new schedule will help with that as well. I continue to wish the best for you!!! hug.gif

Sam & Abby's Mom replied: Good for you, girl ! No more missing Christmas will be awesome smile.gif

Good luck with your marriage, too. Keep the Faith.

HuskerMom replied: Congrats! Good luck with your new job!

Congrats. It sounds like a good opportunity and will work out for the best all the way around. Glad to hear your DH agreed to counseling again... you're in my thoughts and prayers. I'm here anytime you want to talk.

Congrats about about the new job. It's awesome you are off the 7/7 schedule. That is hard on a family. I was scheduled for all the holidays because of how my work schedule fell. hug.gif

MyBrownEyedBoy replied:
Sure, Holley, but only if she doesn't usurp Logan's slot as the daycare favorite.

C&K*s Mommie replied: Congrats on getting those hours!
