Tuesday, May 14, 2013 update. Well, what now?

In  regards to looking for a job, do I look for that full time teaching position or do I sub next year?

The hubby is talking about a possible layoff coming this summer with his job.  If he is a part of that company plan then he will be coming home to live and we will not have insurance.  That would probably cause a problem with coverage for him and the kids and a problem with my second surgery.  There is always the chance that if he is a part of that he can put in for a transfer or what they call bump someone with lower seniority than him.  That location could be here at home or anywhere. 

Remember, this news is not something news.  It is always a topic and always a possibility about every 6 months.  As long as the hubby works for his company and they have a union contract then on the money front we might be okay because of the contract pay for a layoff, okay for a while.  But it is that looming insurance coverage that is the issue.  Especially now with me going through what I am going through. 

If I find a district that will hire me as a full time classroom teacher I will hopefully get insurance coverage, but will that cover my second surgery if the hubby does not have it? 

You know life is not like movies and TV.  There is not a scrip to read to know what is next.  There is not a team of writers asking input on where the characters go next.  There is not a path laid smooth and covered in precious stones and metals to ease our way.

On the child front, the dear daughter can not wait till graduation!  Here announcements are out and dinner reservations are made for afterward and she is excited.  I am too.  My baby girl is growing up and moving forward with her dreams. 

The dear son is going to be 16 the end of the month.  He is such a great young man, I wish he would understand how much I love him and want only the best for him.  Whether it is his hormones for the age or there is something medical and mental going on with him and most likely a combination of all.  I want to fix it all for him so he has emotional and spiritual hope and enthusiasm for life and learning.  The arguing we have, his only wanting to play computer games, not wanting to Scouts because he is afraid of hurting someone there, they get very loud and act like boys and pick on him to piss him off and get him angry. He ends up acting on his anger and he is the one that gets in trouble.  I am scared for my son.

On the health front, the nurses are still happy with my healing incision.  For two or three weeks though they have been saying they think I will be out of the wound vac in a week.  I am still restricted from driving, doing more than very basic things and the information that the second surgery won't happen till September to December was a shock.  I still see the second surgery getting in the way of getting a full time position.  But I will move forward and on.  Yet, I know where my son gets his fear of moving forward from.
