Leads anyone?

So what is the most ironic thing about Zack starting his job today?

Give you a hint.

Okay I suck at hints. I am much better at laying it out there.

I lost my nanny job today. It boils down to them not being able to afford me, after the grandparents backed out of the days they were doing to help out. Our whole house of cards crumbled.

I am very sad and a little discouraged. Just when I think things are fine and going to be okay, then AGAIN the the ground is yanked from under my feet. I know its not the end of the world (been there, done that) but it is frustrating.

Hopefully something will work out soon in our favor on that front. If you know of a nanny job that will allow me to bring my kids (I have references etc obviously) or any other recommendation... I am willing to try new things. Please let me know.

Thanks friends!

Frustration!

I was just about to sit down and sew when I heard the front door being unlocked. Not a normal sound lately. So I go to make sure the boogy man has not acquired a key and sure enough there is my husband walking through the door. He says he was in the neighborhood. He avoided my eyes, I realize now, but didn't notice then. After he sets his stuff down and such he asks me to talk in the living room. Great, what now, I am trying to sew! (i know rude right?)

He says, He lost his job today! WHAT?! I know right, you are as blind sided as I was! I had no idea. They have been sending him to this expensive training and he thought it was going great. Apparently not. They said it was because someone called in about not liking a cold call he made to them, but when he reminded them that his calls are recorded they said it was just that he is not a good fit there. We don't know what to think.

The only good thing to come from this is that he got a month's severance, and now maybe he can get unemployment (you can't when its your own biz that you close). Things always happen in 3's right? So I am left to wonder what next?

Oh bugger!

I went for an interview yesterday that I thought for sure I had the job. I thought I was a shoe in. And since they said they would probably have me come work half days the rest of the week and start full time next week for their 17 month old son, I was sure the job was mine. Yay! Until today. I had not heard a word about working tomorrow so I emailed thanking them for the lovely meeting and asking about more details for when they wanted me to come. I heard nothing back. I later called to get the same info and ended up leaving a message since there was no answer.

While I was putting Grayson down for the night I got an email saying that they had hired someone else today and that they had meant to call me. Sorry? Wait what?! Did I miss something?! I thought I was starting tomorrow or Thursday?! Arg. Pisses me off. So now I am deflated and sad just when I felt like I got a slight re-inflation (Is that a word!?)

So still we are jobless and one day closer to homelessness. Fabulous!

I'm screwed.
