Hi guys. First off I just want to say how much your posts mean to me. I have not been discussing this issue in real life as you guys know. And coming on here has been a good way for me to cope.
My husband has been offered a job. Of course he has accepted it as we need money coming in, but he is still hoping to get the other job I was telling you guys about. Please think of us. Please include my family in your prayers. While I am very thankful that he has been offered something, this other job, if it is all we think it is, will really compliment his experience and education and help him to get his foot in the door for where he ultimately wants to be.
This has been the most stressful thing I have been through since I have quit. I am not happy it has happened. But in a way I am. I mean, what could be more stressful than wondering how you are going to feed your children? Of course this is an irrational thought, but scary times bring on irrational thoughts. And I have made it through without smoking. I have conquered another 'first'. I have learned to cope by not sitting around, by not falling on my sword, by getting up and putting things into action even when I have not felt like it, I have learned to hug and cry out of frustration rather than kick and scream, I have learned so much ... and you know what? It feels so good.
