Both of our kids can swim, S15 is really experienced, and D9 can swim, but doesn't have the underwater breathing while swimming down. I might just take D9 to some swimming lessons now this summer anyway, so less excuse for OW2 or stbOW2 to give her lessons.
And...I got laid off from my job today. They said their OPS budget was cut in half. The other OPS has worked there for years and has to be kept b/c she works late afternoon & evenings when no one else is there. So...my first laying off or firing or whatever.
Surprisingly, I don't feel that bad about it. I'm not thrilled or happy about it, but there are a lot of good things about this. BTW, when they fired me, I thanked them for giving me the office experience and asked them to consider me if they get the funding in the future. I gave them both hugs. (I'm always gonna be a cheesy goob) I worked the last half hour which was left.
OK: positives are: I figured out $30 to $40 of my $100 paycheck was going to gas. Another $10 or so at least on fast food b/c I'd be out and not always have made a sandwich. With commuting time, I was gone about 25 hours driving and working for about $50 so about $2 an hour. And H was trying to suggest that I needed daycare which would have been impossible to afford. He also was prob. going to say that b/c of my part-time job I couldn't homeschool the kids as well or something like that. So this may actually help me out in mediation at the end of the month. I'm hoping anyway. The job pays a month later so I'm still going to get a full paycheck next week and then a one-week paycheck at the end of July. So I feel I have about 2 months to look for a job now. And I have current work experience.
I'm not planning on telling H about this. I figure the kids prob. will. I'm going to tell the L tomorrow, and email her about this.
