So the past couple of weeks have been filled with uncertainty about who is staying and who might be going where I work.  I highly doubt anyone will be fired but I'm sure they are looking to push people into different departments.  We've recently had a new type of program roll out at work that is helping to automate our jobs.  Good as far as saving money goes.  Bad as far as job security goes.  :(

I've been speaking to one of my good friends about this for the past couple of weeks.  His job is in the air too so we talk about it whenever we hear something.  As much as I like my job, I'm not married to the idea of doing the same thing forever.  I wouldn't mind moving into a different department but I have a pretty narrow window of when I can work full time.  My husband works around 4 in the afternoon so I would need to find something where I could leave at 3 like I'm currently doing.  Worse case scenario, I think we would be okay if stopped working there and found a part time gig closer to my neighborhood.  Currently I drive about 60 miles a day to commute to my job.  Ouch!  That sucked even when gas prices  weren't as high as they are today.  I could live without that hot mess everyday.  If anyone has lived in Orlando and has had to use I-4 to get around, I know you can feel my pain!

My husband and I were also talking about it today.  He said that he might look to get a second job and just have me stay at home.  I've never been a stay at home mom before but I'm sure that I could adjust to it.  He makes a bulk of the income now anyway and also carries our health insurance so that makes the most sense.

I don't know....I don't want to think about it too much but I have to be realistic about it and weigh all of the options.  We should be hearing more about it in the next couple of weeks so I guess I'll have an idea soon. 

Ay Dios mio!  Now back to dealing with my slightly crazy children.  :)043 ATT401093[1]
