I finally have a train of thought so I think I can now explain what happened at my work on Friday......I went to talk to my supervisor about Shawn and the possibility of picking up a few extra hours to help out at home....and she responds with something like...."So glad you brought that up, I have been meaning to talk to you 'bout your schedule"....Basically the essence of what she was getting at is my hours for the position I am in do not meet the business needs right now.....(Mind you I got this schedule in a different position and got moved to this team during the last downsizing).....she was going to talk to me about changing my schedule so that I am there for full days....but still part time.....OK, if Shawn didn't get let go from his company I would not be able to adjust my schedule....So my question is what would have happened if he was working and I couldn't change my sched?....Who knows if I would have had a job........just another sign we are in need of a change.....anyway with Shawn out of work....I now have a new schedule starting next Monday....I will be working Mon & Tue 6.30-3 and Payday Fridays (every other Friday).....It increased my hours by 3.....but I must say it will be nice to have 5 days off in a row.....So when Shawn does find a job who knows what will happen......
On to Shawn finding a job.....his search has begun....His main focus is out of state.....we had many conversations about top cities we would want to move too....with Austin, TX being at the very top of the list....Seattle being at the very bottom....the main focus for us is buying a house and quality of life....we have many cities in between, Raleigh/Durham, NC; Bozeman, MT; Denver, CO; Portland, OR; and Albuquerque, NM....its fun and exciting to be thinking about moving out of the state again.....no time like the present.....and of course owning a house big enough for all of us (I think we are one of the few of our friends that do not own their own home..)....I am sure Shawn will find something soon....After tomorrow Shawn will be completely done with Zango....he just has some paperwork to sign and pick up his severance check.....The only thing that sucks is health insurance....the girls were all on his....his old company will pay for Cobra for June...but after that we have to pay for it....holy expensive....$700 for all three girls and Shawn per a month....and of course Lila's 4 month appt is in July....so I am going to call an see if I can bump it up before we lose coverage....worse case I will add her to my health insurance....I have until June 30th to do that....but because I work part time it will be pretty expensive, but not as much as cobra....man why doesn't this country have better health insurance options.....or better yet make sure all Americans are covered......oh well we will get it all figured out.....
So here are some pics of Lila one from the weekend and the other from today.....She is growing so fast....and man is she a talker....holy smokes I am not sure what I am going to do with 3 Chatty Kathy's....
For the twins you get to enjoy Morning Dancing to the Ruggs.....from today...
And after nap, dancing to Top 40 Music.....ending with MJ wanting to see herself on the camera.....Funny Kids...

I'm so glad to hear that you & Shawn have a game plan! Isn't it exciting to think of moving out of state? I love Seattle, I really do but it is so freaking expensive to live there. Ridiculous!! And the cobra...isn't it awful? For me alone I have to pay $366 a month.
You know...in western NY you can buy a nice home with a yard for under 100K. Hint, hint... :)
It makes me a little angry about what was said to you at work...you didn't ask to be moved to CM, they knew your schedule going into it. It's like the title of your post..."signs, signs...".
Hang in there, I know you'll be just fine...you always have such a great outlook & positive attitude! :)
