So far so good....

Well, D has worked two full days now since he informed his company that he is leaving. They have picked his brain so far for information that only he knows how to do, and have had him put it in a training format so they can train the other employees how to do the same procedures. Personally this should of been done along time ago, but instead they have been calling him at all hours of the night, when he is not at work to run in and take care of a 5 min procedure and of course, with no pay. With drive time the entire process would take about an hour from when he left home and returned. Really drove me nuts. Anyway, his bully supervisor is now telling him things like, "I'm gonna miss you". D just looks at him and thinks," Really? You shouldn't of been such a prick" He seriously mistreats the employees and my husband just refused to take it any longer. This company is really gonna hurt when he leaves. He is the most productive worker they have and have only been turning a profit since he came on. But the inconsistent hours, the bully boss, no lunch breaks, no hours for a week, than no time off for 20 days...yes...he has currently worked 18 days in a row now, poor man is exhausted. All awhile he was training his body for is IFA, which I was overjoyed when he passed last week.

So now we wait to see what will happen next. He thinks they did their research and know they aren't supposed to retaliate against him. I know they would for sure if he was going to another company to do the same thing. They did that to him once, he went on an interview and they fired him on the spot, only to beg him back 2 days later. I say one more week of pay would be a blessing....after that...they can just go kiss my booty! I'm so done with them! And soooo ready to move on the next chapter of our crazy life....boy are we in for a ride! : )

Waiting anxiously.....

So today I am sitting on pins and needles....D went to work today and plans on giving the big news that he is leaving on the 14th for Basic Training. His company is not a friendly one, and we suspect that he will be immediately released and sent home. We are hoping this is not the case, at least one more week of work would be extremely helpful for our situation. Otherwise we will not have a paycheck til Oct 1st, and it won't be a full check due to uniforms etc coming out during basic. This whole situation has me terrified that we won't pull through, but at the same time I am confident that while it will be tough for a few months we will prevail and get through it. During this process I applied for a job with the schools. I'm still waiting for my prints to clear so I can start work. It's not a lot of income, in fact it's very minimal but there will be no daycare costs, so at least it will be something to help pull us through. So here I am, trying to distract myself and waiting, waiting for him to walk through the door...

Giving it a whirl...

Okay, I've blogged on other sites, but have yet to set up something to document my families journeys...so here I am, giving it a shot. Our family is getting ready to venture out on a huge life change. My husband just Joined the Navy. It's extremely exciting, overwhelming and terrifying all at the same time. He leaves in approx. 2 weeks for basic, and we will be in for a whole new adventure. I think I'm fairly prepared. I've been saving money like crazy to get us through while he is gone, cause funds will be super tight. It will be a little weird to not have him around, but I think our daughter, A, will be the one who will have the hardest time. She has never been away from her father before, so I'm not so sure she understands what is coming up. I on the other hand am an overly independent woman so while I will miss him greatly, I will be able to get through it a little better. Course, I could be fooling myself so we shall see.
