Goodbye Quiet
I was right. I knew I would be.
One half of my gut feeling came true yesterday. Shawn is no longer employed. He’s rather happy about it actually. He was starting to hate his job, the new boss (cuz his immediate boss was also fired about a month ago) and he was turning into a fucking prick. I mean that in the nicest possible way.
Shawn’s not a bad guy or anything. Don’t get me wrong. But he was becoming this fucking asshole and was down right mean to the kids. He was smoking like crazy and his job was his excuse. I’ve told him though, if not having a job is going to be your new excuse to not smoke, it will NOT be tolerated. I won’t fucking have it. I am a non smoker now and I won’t support his smoking habit on what little I make at my job. Unemployment doesn’t pay enough for him to piss away $5.75 a pack either. So either he quits or.. well… shit will hit the fan.
He’s already nicer. Shocking. He’s already perked up abit an the tension in his neck is going away. I see a guy that I used to know slowly reemerging in him. Its a huge improvement from the prick he was for so long.
So Monday he starts with unemployment and goes to look for another job. He has a CDL license and I’m encouraging him to use it. We pay out the ass to maintain it so why not put it to use? Roughly $140 every 3 yrs to keep the CDL so I think he should get back behind the wheel of a truck and make it worth the money. He’s got a lead from a guy I work with and he’s trying to get into a local distributor not far from here that does local wines and the micro-brews. Hopefully, he won’t be out of work long.
I’m a wee bit stressed but I will just manage my money tighter and keep the reigns firm on how we spend the cash we have. I’ll apply for some food assistance until Shawn gets a job and that will help supplement the house. I’m not too proud to take the help. I never keep it for long and always contribute to local help so I feel like now that I need it, its ther for me to use.
Lauren is going to Moms tonight and going softball shopping with her and Aunt Joan. They are going to outfit her for me with what they can find for the least amount of money and we are going to get Logan finished off today as well. He only needs baseball pants and cleats and he will be set.
Monday also takes me back to Dr Ryan for my post surgical appt so I can get released back to work. With Shawn home, I will want to work as much as possible. One week of vacation was driving me nuts, so theres no way I could do it daily. Plus, I’m bored being home so much. I want to get back to my job and the girls I work with.
Ok time to hit the shower, get ready and head to Moms. I have to get motivated or I’ll sit here all day.
