I GOT A JOB!!!!!

Oh my heavens!  I am shouting it from the rooftops!!!! I GOT A JOB!  I start tomorrow!  It is temporary for 30 days but can go to permanent if both myself and the employer agree it is a good fit.  It is right in my wheelhouse from what I used to do.  I could not be more excited, especially since DH and I had it out the other night.  He is adamant that he is taking a OT job next weekend so that he will be working that Friday night and all weekend WHILE TWO OF HIS KIDS ARE HERE! 

For those of you that have not read my other entries, my DH's ex is taking the middle child on an out of state trip for 3 or 4 days.  Therefore, his two other children are coming to stay with us for two extra days and then the weekend he would nornally have them (so 8/2 - 8/6).  My DH so graciously agreed to take the two kids over to his ex's house every day to feed the animals while she is gone (which is about a 50 mile round trip).  I was already not happy about them staying the extra days, but when I heard about the animals (chickens and cats), my head almost exploded!!!

So, the other night he told me that he agreed to take the OT that has him working basically non-stop from 8/3-8/5.  I reiterated to him again, YOUR kids will be here.  Again, he was adamant that the OT would be good money (granted, we do not NEED the money).  We argued and argued and I finally caved in and said fine, work it.  However, I NEVER agreed to take the kids to the ex's house, etc. AND, I was already making plans that would take me and my dogs away from the house for most of the day during those days.  Soooooo, imagine my suprise today when I was offered this job that I was really interested in.  I had been offered another job earlier this week, but it was not a good fit. But alas, this one seems to be great!  I am 99.9% sure it will turn into permanent.  BUT, that means that I will not be here with those two little "darlings" (please tell me you know I am being sarcastic) during the week and DH can take them to ex's house when he gets home from work because even with OT, he will be home before me!  OH YAH, OH YAH!! I am doing the happy dance!!!!!  I wish you could all see me!  Smile

Congrats!!!!

Also good call on not driving them. I love animals, but 50 miles daily to feed someone else's? She should have kennelled or gotten a neighbor to feed.

And oh yes, I remember the total bullshit that was your DH expecting you to drive skids 50 miles R/T to feed their animals at BM'S HOUSE!!! Glad you are not doing that! It's even bullshit that he is!

Yes, now my only fear as I sit here and think about this is that we only have one family vehicle.  The other one is my DH's work truck that holds three people at most.  Sooooo, I swear to God if he asks me to pick those kids up on my way home on Fridays the weekends that he has them, I may have another reason to blow my top!  Of course, BM could always drop them off.....hopefully it will go that route since DH gets off of work normally by 2 or 2:30pm and his kids are out of school by 3pm, and I will be working until 5pm.  Oh please, why did I think of this.....I have enough to worry about as I will be taking our two fur babies to doggy daycare each day and picking them up!  Ugh...here comes the pit again......maybe I need to stop so I do not jinx things LOL

Don’t do SK pick ups and dog feeding.  Not your problem, you did not agree to this B.S.

Yes, BM can contribute to drop offs. What's with these parents who think they shouldn't do some of the work sometimes? So happy for your new job! We're all excited for you *yahoo*

I know the feeling. Im happy for you. Being a stay home wife means being a nanny to skids. I myself was excited when i got a job. I was praying for one for my own sanity. I just needed to get out of the house and have a job that will keep my mind off my problems. Now i have a maid and i dont have to deal with SS or be bothered to do anything for him and i see less of him.
