Things are as they are

It’s official. Chris’ last day of work is the 13th. We lose insurance that day, and that scares me more than not having his income. We’re going to have to skimp on a few bills for a couple months until my money starts coming in, but I’m hopeful we can call and make arangements for that. He is going to apply for unemployment, too, and I’m hopeful that will start up a couple weeks after he’s done working. I’m just worried that we will have a 1 year old and no medical insurance to cover anything if something comes up with him. Chris and I can survive without it, but having a baby… I’m probably worrying for nothing, but I just don’t know what’s to come, and that bothers me.

I’m trying to pick up extra hours this week so I can have some more money starting the first of March, but they aren’t available when I am. My grandparents are forever offering to baby sit, but I would hate for Aiden to become a burdon on them. We have a couple friends who also have offered to baby sit for FREE, but one of them Chris doesn’t want watching Aiden due to her boyfriend (he’s not so good with kids), and the other friends work 3rd shift, and I hate for them to have to skimp on sleep just to help us out.

I just hope and pray that things work out for us and hope we don’t end up missing out on too many bills while we make this transition. It’s definitely not going to be an easy one.
