Husband's "New" Job :)

If you've been reading my blog you'll remember my post One Step Forward Two Steps Back about the job my husband had. Well, he's back there again! His first day was yesterday!

We're so excited! He's on the shift that he originally wanted. Since it's Spring they have more of a demand so they need more people. With the way my husband works I'm sure they'll hire him full-time.

Amazed at how God works and how he always knows what we need right when we need it.

Hubby's Got A New Job!

I don't believe I've ever told you guys, but my Hubby has been looking for a new job that's closer to home to save us money and to hopefully get better pay. Seriously who doesn't want better pay? So anyways he's been looking and looking and had a couple of places that we heard were hiring, but they never worked out. 

Well, we heard from one of the people that he works with that a place in our town was hiring. Unfortunately they only hire through Manpower. So he goes to Manpower says he's interested in this job.

I believe the next day, maybe 2, he received a call saying they wanted to interview him. So he goes to the interview that day and the interview went really well. The lady said they would talk to who they needed to talk to and get back with him on Monday or Tuesday, which was a few days away... Bummer. 

Monday comes around and we haven't heard anything so Miles calls and gets a hold of some lady at Manpower who says, "Oh, I guess _______ hasn't told you. You start on _____________." So Miles asks if he needs to go in for a drug test. Which of course he does... seriously I've never heard of any place giving a hire date until the test has been done. Obviously he passes the test, which he found out right away.

He gave his current job a 2 week notice and will be starting his new job after that! 

We are so excited!

Now it's going to be less pay for the first 3 months since he'll be working through Manpower, but after that the actual company will hire him full-time, we'll get full benefits, and better pay than his current job! 

I knew God would provide and he did! He didn't just supply a job in our town, but also the better pay. I can't believe all the great blessings we've received in the past 4 months!

Career :/

I mentioned in a previous post about money being tight around our home and yes, it's still tight. Anyways, the money issues have really made me wish that I would have spent some time building a career. You know at least having college done before having a baby. 

I know, I know it's never to late to go to college especially now that they have online classes. Which I've thought about many times, but it never seemed like the right time and I didn't want to spend the money on college especially when I have NO clue what I'd want to go for. 

I mean I know of a few things that interest me, but I want to be realistic. I don't want to get a degree in something where I'd be waiting forever for a job or that is totally against my personality. Or worse something that I'd start college for and then realize that I can't memorize everything that I need to know. So some interests: Psychology (but that deals with people and I'm not very good at talking to people), Pets (I love pets, but I could never be a Vet. to much to remember and I couldn't give shots or "put down" an animal), Writing (I really love to write and quite often I get the need to write, but don't always know what to write about. I'm not sure I would have the creativity I need to really write books or anything like that), etc. So there's a few. 

My safest bet would probably be writing, EXCEPT for the fact that I'm not really that great at English like the subject where they teach punctuation and such. But it's perfect because I can write from home, which means being able to stay home with my baby and do housework and such. 

Psychology is great because I really do love to help people, I've been helping people (or at least trying to) since I was 12. I have a real passion for teens (13-20's) and I know that Psychology would be a great help for what my real passion is. 

Well, and Vet. is already out due to the above mentioned reasons. I could however go for maybe an assistant. 

So maybe I could go for writing and once I've paid off schooling and earned some money go for Psychology, which could help with (a) my writing and (b) my passion. Sounds like a great plan, eh? Now if only I can get myself to go through with it!

Or maybe I should look for something a little more realistic? I don't know I REALLY want to be able to stay at home. So whatever I choose will have to be something that I can do from home so I can be with my baby and keep up with the housework. 

Any ideas? I'd love to hear them. Just leave me a comment on here.
