Here I am,I just wrote a very uplifting post about my cup being half full and then not even a half an hour later I was hit with a blow and I am really going to have to trust God on this.There is No paid maternity leave for me.I have only been working in the school for a little over 2 years and you have to be here 3 years to get a paid leave.The only thing I could possibly get is 6 weeks paid time from the sick bank, but the only way I can get days from the sick bank is if their is a problem with my pregnancy."who would wish a problem with their pregnancy!!" Then the Doctor can write a note saying I need a leave of absense for a health reason.Even then though I have to write to the Sick bank board telling them of my problem with the Drs note and then they will "consider" my situation and may then issue a 6 week paid sick leave.After the baby is born I can then again with a Drs note write and ask for another paid leave from the sick bank.But in all of this their is No certainty.The thing that gets me is that I still have to pay over $200 every 2 weeks for the health insurence.I will be blunt, my husband only gets $500 every 2 weeks so that gives us $600 a month to live on and that doesn't include taking out the bills.I am very greatful that we don't have an appartment to worry about paying for too.I know that God Will take care of everything so why do I worry?! Just makes me nervious with the baby coming.Please pray for us as we work through this.Also pray for my husbands job.Things have not been going well for him at Lowes.It's almost as if they are trying to force him out.The other day the store manager cornered Stephen and pretty much called Stephen a liar.Thankfully there was a witness there so that he could file a complaint, but you really don't want your boss against you.Stephen likes working at Lowes except for his boss is not a good man.Stephens mother went to school with him and said he was bad even back then.Who knows maybe that is why he doesn't like Stephen because of his mom.Who knows!!Monday, February 9, 2009
