I just don't know what is going to happen.
This is not a post asking for sympathy, it is more of a place for me to organize my thoughts and try to figure things out.
This last week we got news that the site Michael works for is closing down. Meaning that they are working on getting everything shut down and moved out. He could have moved to Newport News Virgina and kept his job. But the moving package they were offering wouldn't have been enough to move the house. Not to mention that we know no one there, we would have to rebuild our social group have NO family in hte area - we feel that moving while would secure a job - wouldn't be in the best interests for us. but it is still a possibility
Michael is starting to look for accounting positions and if he can find one- should pay more than he was making - his job nets an average of 36-42k a year, and he wasn't making 31k at his old job but the benefits out weighed the money and hassle of looking for a new job. So again a possibility
He is going to be getting a severance package and all so we will be ok at the very least till the end of the year... of course Christmas is going to SUCK... but that is ok. Maybe I will see about doing Yule more then Christmas...
Now on the upside - I could possibly be doing some nanny/babysitting work - which would get us some money and would be something I can do that won't cause my migraines to kill me. watching a baby and my own - doing some basic house work , laundry/dishes etc from 9-3 during the week. If it pans out - we will be able to catch up if I am able to get this job - even with Micheal on unemployment...
but if I don't - I am not sure how we are going to scrap by even as we have been .... :sigh:
So I am hoping to be able to get the job babysitting during the day with a 3 month old while momma is working from home -
Also to do some random during the evening babysitting and cleaning jobs for extra cash -
Still going to get food boxes, and such to make sure food is supplied
Help Micheal find a job - that makes at least the low end of his field...
The really nice thing is my girlfriend from Canada is coming down the last week of November for Orycon - and I actually get to spend time with her :)
