My ears are plugged. It's pretty miserable...so since i just had this cold and I know how crappy it is, i imagine she does too...which is sad.
On the upside, Mikey and i are going on a date tonight! Hopefully poor Lucy will start feeling better so she can have some fun with Gwen and Cousin Amanda!
-------------------
So I started that blog earlier today....now here's the conclusion...
We went on our date...it was awesome! Lots of Lobster, and "She's Out of my League". The dinner was so yummy and the movie was funny and cute. They tried to put Lu in bed at 6:30 for some reason, and had to take her out and try again around 7:30, and she put up a little bit of a fuss, but is asleep now, and has been for a while so I think we're good.
Here's what's on my mind though, and I need some help making a decision...
I'm currently a Stay At Home Mom, and I'm getting unemployment for about 10 more weeks. Should I take a 3-4 month temp position working full time, making a ton of money? Or should we try to get money some other way so I can stay home and get by?
It is a temp position with NO CHANCE of becoming long term. The way we have been thinking about it is this... my husband works at church, and I get unemployment. We made the decision for him to go into ministry and that God would provide. So far, he has, with all the unemployment extensions.
However, unemployment is running out, and we won't be able to make it on his income. We believe it is God's will for him to stay at this job, and have been praying for God to bring us opportunities to make money to put into savings so we will have money to live on after UE runs out.
I did not search for any jobs, two different companies found my old resume on Monster, and called about the same job. I find it hard to believe that God didn't bring this to us when we have been praying for something just this last week.
Anyway, ALL THAT TO SAY, if we keep "making it" on UE til it runs out, then either Mikey will have to go get a completely different job, a part time job on top of church, or i will have to work at least part time, forever. OR, I work for 3 months now, save a TON of money, and get to stay home longer in the long run. And then maybe church can give him a raise, or he finds other opportunities, or we become independently wealthy....
Oh, and my mom, sister, and husband would be watching Lucy.
Now, thoughts? BIG questions, needing BIG answers ASAP! I told the guy I would call him tomorrow... it's a fast moving hiring process.

I think you really answered your own question. You were praying, God provided in a way that could have only happened with his intervention (two different people calling about an old resume when nothing like that had happened since you had the kid). Like you said, in the long run you will be able to stay with Lucy longer. Yes, it's going to be tough leaving her for those 3-4 months but sometimes parents have to make tough choices because they know its ultimately going to bless them. Plus it's not like you're going to hand her off to a stranger. These are her relatives, people that love her dearly. In my opinion, take the job.
I already emailed you my response. As you know, I agree with Justin. Go for it!
Justin, I won't tell anyone from Facebook that you can do nice, insightful thoughts...as I know it would ruin your image.
It would ruin me. RUIN me.
