Tuesday......

So here I sit wondering what this next week will bring to my life. My husband flies up to Philly for his job interview. I know from past experience that my husband has never flown somewhere where he didn't get the job and we moved. I am so sad about this. When we moved to Florida I was so excited to finally be back in this state. We lived here back in 2000 to 2002. I really loved it. I am the kinda girl that loves to be warm. I hate cold weather....rain, snow, sleet, scraping ice off the windows in the morning, and the list goes on and on. Thankfully though after much discussion with my hubby we have decided that if he takes the job that he will go and me and the kids will stay for a year. That within itself brings on another reason to be sad. I don't want to be apart that long. We have worked it out so that he can come home every 8 weeks or so but still. I will have to be a full time student with an internship and a full time single parent.....not exactly where I say myself a year ago.

On top of all of the stuff above my Grandpa Jim and Nephew Ethan are coming to stay with us this summer. They will be here from Mid June to Mid August. I can't begin to tell you how excited I am about it. But I have soooo much I need to do before they get here. When I fly up there I am going to New Hampshire to host my Best Friend's Bridal Shower. So I have to get all that stuff together and get the house in order for them to come visit. Oh and did I mention that I am going to school this summer. Only 2 classes but one of them happens to be a Loss and Bereavement , can I tell you how much fun that is.....NOT!!! It brings up alot of things that happened in the past that I am not sure I want to bring back up. Oh and I have to write about my own death. Too much fun for one person don't ya think??

So I guess how this summer will go and what the future holds comes down to one things and that is.......Tuesday!

Change...

So since the last time I blogged some things have changed. Since December my hubby has had 3 10% pay cuts and he lost the night shift differential. Hubby has been coming home every week for a couple of months asking me to send out resumes. So I have been. Well on Tuesday he got a call from a company that is very interested in him. The plant is in PA. We have talked about this before and we had decided that We (me and the kids) would stay here while he goes up and works. Well now that it is a possibility hubby doesn't want to be without us. Now I realize it will be hard and ideally I would not prefer it to be that way but honestly there is no other choice. I was looking online to see what the cost of living is up there and honestly in order to make it up there I would have to work full time along with going to school. I just don't want to do that. I have but I didn't get to see my family at all. To me it just isn't worth it. However there are many many job opportunities for social workers if you have your BS which I will have in a year. I just can't see leaving when I am so close to that goal. I can put off grad school for a semester but not my BS. My good friend Annie has offered to let me and the kids stay for a year. The fact that she would offer such a wonderful thing is amazing. She truly is a wonderful person and a great friend. After discussing this with hubby he seems less upset about having to be gone from us for so long. The other thing that is troubling is the kids. Hubby told the boys today and Ty wasn't too bad but Gabe just lost it. It is such an awful feeling to see your child cry like that. I wish there was another option but really it seems like the company he is with now is sinking fast and we truly can not take another pay cut. We have dealt with moving many times before but this time it is so much harder. So whether we like it our not I think the only thing about the future that I am sure of is.....Change is a coming!
