This is turning out to be a tough but not terrible change in our lives. House is still going to be auctioned.
We have friends who bought a new house but can't yet sell their old one, which is outside of town and very nice. They are going to rent it to use for a VERY reasonable price, no problem bringing our cat!!! I am so relieved as I have spoken to at least forty rental places (called that many numbers - argh) and they ALL say that they won't even take an application from us even with my parents cosigning. So this is awesome news!
Then a teacher at the technical school run by the state board of ed's division of tech schools left to take a job out of state. husband was asked to take over the job for the rest of the year. If they like him - and they will - he will be offered a contract for next year. This is a separate educational system from the high schools and husband was already working part time on their business development division at close to what some of the univ profs make. The benefits are wonderful once you get the full time contract, the pay is at least 3 times what the reg school systems pay, and they do not fire people. It is a really great part of the educational system to work for.
husband's paycheck for the rest of this school year, which is not even a month of work, will be more than he made working for the computer company AND he won't have a 90 minute commute each way!!!!
So things ARE starting to look up- WAY up - for us!!
Thank you so much for all the good wishes you sent our way!
Keep them coming, please, because the cat now has an abscess and is acting very sick. These jobs are great but we have ten days before we have any money at all!
(My folks are giving us the deposits if we need any and our friends said not to worry with one - but I will put $$ aside anyway for one!)
