A couple of weeks ago my work had to cut back because of the economy and work. I unfortunetly had to take the brunt of it, probably because I am pregnant. They cut me back to part time and I was only to get about 16 hours a week. I talked to one of my co workers one Sunday night and I told her what happened and that I really want to be utilizing this time to make money because once the baby comes I'm going to be home all of the time and money, on my end, will not be coming in. So, the next day and basically that whole week she made sure to let me help out in the dept. she worked in because they are the only dept. that is really busy and they could actually use the help. I ended up putting in more than 16 hours for that week, so I was happy that not only was I helping but I was helping my family out.
They needed me again this past Monday so I came in and did the same thing as the week before...but when Tuesday came along!......my supervisor took me out of the office and cut me back completely! I have NO hours now! Basically Im on an on-call status and am only supposed to work when they call me. That hurt...because I've never been fired before and its almost like I was that day...I was just supposed to pick up my purse at that minute and get out of the office! Wow! ....My work agreed to keep paying my insurance because that is one of the most important things with the baby coming, in which I need to make sure I have! But I want to be able to be making at least some money...so it was kind of like...ok so Im stuck?
I left work and called Daniel immediately, I was crying and told him that if he could he needed to check to see if I got on his insurance policy (because if I was I wouldnt have to stay on with the company with their on-call status and be able to try to get another job). Daniel calmed me down and told me...wow that's crazy that this happened because just today the guy that has been dealing with the insurance thing, at my work, came to me and told me that you're on my policy! That was a huge relief because most insurances wont take you on after you are already pregnant...but his did!...and just when I needed it!
I am blessed! I have a great husband that loves and cares about me and have the security in knowing he wouldn't leave me for another woman! All of the times we've been together he's always been faithful to me and that is an awesome thing to have in a husband. For a man to be that way automatically makes him a good father because he is what our child will be looking up to. I will be too for that matter but, I could be wrong, but I think the father makes more of an impact in their actions than the mother.
Through it all, I am a blessed wife and mother! With or without a job I will continue to be blessed and God will take care of our little family.
