Baby Steps
Since I am trying to find a new job I thought it was time to transition Marissa into her crib and Zachary into his "big boy" bed. I really thought it would be no big deal, but I was really wrong. I don't remember having any trouble getting the other two out of their cribs and into a bed, but Zachary was truly a challenge. I ended up sleeping with him the first few nights until he got used to the fact that baby sister was now going to be in his crib so he had to sleep in the bed. We finally got him to sleep all night by himself....if I could only get him interested in potty training.
Things with Paul and I are getting better. He found out that his new boss is an ok guy and that for now he has no intention of making any changes. That and the fact that I'm on the job market again has been a relief for him. I know he was feeling overwhelmed being the only income source and being unsure if we were even going to have that when his new boss started, but things got really bad for awhile. I grew up with an alcoholic step-father which created a very violent environment when my mom would drink too and I always said I would not ever do that to my kids and I could see him starting down the road my step-dad was on so I had to do something. Leaving was really his wake up call and he has really made an effort since then. We both are kids of divorce and want to avoid that if we can so I'm glad he decided to make changes instead of ignoring what he was doing, we are all much better for it. Besides his boys adore him and I hate to think of what would happen to them emotionally if we split up.
I had 2 job interviews this week that went really well, I hope one of them offers me a job. They would both be nice, but I have a preference so I hope the one I want also wants me. Keep your fingers crossed, we are in desperate need of more income!
