My dad use to say that all the time along with when things did go our way ...You must be living right. So on July 17th I was schedule to work 8-5 (ish) at one hospital and then 5-10 at the other. Also I am on call that night from 5-8 am for the hospital I am working the day for. We rarely get call out. But there is a chance. Also Lee decided instead of leaving for the bike trip Saturday the 18th he is going to Kamiah the night of the 17th. Too much. I couldn't be in three places at once (work, with the kids and possibly getting called in) so I emailed my one co worker who wanted to pick up some extra shifts and she said no. Then another coworker agreed if I took a shift for her earlier in the week. Couldn't have worked out any better. Not only do I now only have to work the day I also don't lose any pay/ Now I just have to find a babysitter that day and find somebody who is willing to be on call to come watch the kids.
Every year I become less and less thrilled with these bike trips. Maybe because every year I have more and more kids. I am still debating a trip somewhere. Just not sure, Luke sleeps so horrible at night but the days we have so much fun. Victoria's dance studio is not doing summer classes and Jake's tennis lessons will be over so we could come some where for a few days, Oregon Coast???
So when I was at the cabin last week Lee informed me that he would have to take a 10% cut in pay. Same work. We were less then thrilled, Then Thursday he was called into HR and was told his pay would not be cut. There were a few reasons. Today they started lay offs. I really don't know how stable Lee's job is. We had already decided that if he doesn't find another job by the time the kids go back to school that I will apply for a another part time job with the stability of Lee's job going quickly out the window I want get our debt paid off sooner then later. It is going down just not as quickly as I would like.
