My husbadn was offered a job working in the call center of a credit card division of a bank..taking incoming calls...this is not what he was doing when he was working at a branch, but it is a job, and it will open up some other possibilities down the road. i am brainstorming about what to do with my currnt job situation, and I think what I will do is take a leave of absence for a few months (if the manager will let me...I know I am new to the store, so he may not, in which case I will go as part time as they will let me...or quit. I am interested in preserving my rate of pay, though, so that is why I would opt for the leave.) Doing this would allow me the time to figure out how to get my dad home, and to care for him for as long as he will be here. The house would not have to be put up for sale if I am caring for him at home. His Social Security checks, which i have been letting accumulate since i have applied to be his rep. payee, and because he is not at the house so I know some of that money is owed out...anyhow, the money he would get after he is home would cover the house bills...so we could survive on just his income. We got a big check today from SSI for my daughter...so I will have some money to pursue different things for her, so I am happy about that.
I am having a very hard time finding the time to even go visit with my dad, because i do not like to drive on less than 6 hours of sleep...i have caught myself dozing at the wheel on the expressway before, so i try to be careful because I am frequently up all night working and then up all day in meetings with schools, or just taking care of the kids, doing a mom's job.
Anyhow, this is where I am at for now...I am still brainstorming what I can do for my daughter long term, but I just take a deep breath and try to get through to summer. i am trying to get the school district to just compromise so we don't have to get a lawyer involved... but i will do what I have to do for her.... It will be so much better when I cut my hours at work!
