Prayers are being sent. Sorry you are both having to deal with this. The stress of it all, makes it that much worse.

Thank you everyone. Its been S-T-R-E-S-S-F-U-L around here. A blur of doctor's visits and sleepless nights. I came home from work early this afternoon because I couldn't even spit out a sentence right.... I'd say something like "Here's your total on the pen, use this paperwork to place it safe on the signature." Instead of "here's your paperwork with the totals, you'' want to put it in a safe place. We'll need your signature at the bottom, you can use this pen" Scary thing was people understood what I meant! I left at 2:00, went straight to bed and didn't wake up til almost 6:00

Hubby has felt a bit of relief since I last wrote. He found out LATE last night that the therapist will sign off on paperwork to get him out of work for an indefinite period. ~WHEW~

I don't care what his not working does to our finances. We've been in money trouble before and survived. We'll do it again. We need him healthy and happy again.

Does he have any sickdays to use before FMLA kicks in??

I've been out of sick days since about October, and am now using intermittent FMLA for when I can't deal with work and people.

I've been out of sick days since about October, and am now using intermittent FMLA for when I can't deal with work and people.

He has over a month of sick days saved, plus he's "banked" a lot of days in addition to that. He won't have to worry about going back to school for the remainder of the year. He will hopefully find another job before we have to worry about his disability insurance kicking in.(whoohoo, he paid for that without knowing it for years!)

Now all we have to do is get Ashley in order...... yeah right I have the feeling that now he's home, he's going to be seeing things he never noticed before. and he's going to be telling her to shape up or ship out. He almost did the other night when she tried to claim I was rude to her friend when the girl dropped Cam off after babysitting. She didn't know he was standing right behind me when the whole encounter happened. He saw me be perfectly friendly and polite. She tried to say I was rude and b*tchy to her friend.... he told her that the girl was LOOKING for signs of b*tchiness because thats the picture Ashley paints of me to her friends, and to stop her attitude towards me and to get out of his house. She sped out of the driveway so fast we have black lines from her tires.

Kim, I am just seeing this thread and was glad to read when I got to your last post that things will be moving in a better direction. I hope he will be able to relax and get his BP under control and healthier days will be ahead for him.

If she only knew that this sort of behavior is contributing majorly to her dad's stress. *sigh*

Kim, prayers will be offered for you and your husband. Worrying so much about your husband cannot be good for your health either.

So... he's getting out of teaching?

I'm trying to get back down to elementary. I'm so tired of Bethlehem in general, and this is the longest I've ever been in one job/career (10 years).

I would love to start a catering job, but that requires money, and list of clients to at least start out with. Oh well. I guess when I'm out of debt and can afford to try the catering thing, I will. You never know what is in store for you!

Hope all goes well for you guys. Big hugs, and I'm here if you ever need anything.

Hubby had another meeting with the therapist this afternoon. The therapist had lots of good things to say about me and told hubby he's lucky to have me (got that right!)

He had another meeting with his family doctor today who asked him repeatedly if he's taking the BP meds, which hubby repeatedly assured them he was (he is). His BP was its highest ever this morning. Hubby said its because his principal called right before he left for the doctor's and grilled him on how long he'd be out. He simply needs to find another job. I don't care what he does, so long as it makes him happy.

Just a suggestion ... If there is a possibility that Ashley will be "leaving" the house, you should look into getting custody of Cam before then (if you are interested).

Oh Kim, I'm sorry to read that your hubby isn't doing well! And it's sounds like you're worrying yourself sick over this, too, but who could blame you?!

Positive thoughts and get well wishes for both of you!
