Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
I got a call for an interview for Piggly for next week for a full time position. It's a very short drive from my house and my son's school. The sub position at my previous preschool job, and where I was kind of dreading going back to, would let me set my own hours, pretty much, especially when he's out of school. It's farther away and I hate the traffic to get there, so that's a no-brainer, but I really hate to give up weekend time with my family. I've trusted God this far. I cannot quit now. At this point, I'm not too worried about pay because anything beats the zero I've been bringing in. 😉 My husband let his current boss know he was offered another job, and they are going to try to meet the other company's salary offer to keep him where he is. They really like him and don't want him to leave. He doesn't want to have to leave, either.
My son is in his school's gifted program. He's a smart one! He also applied for the robotics club. He'd do very well in that. They only take fifteen kids from 3rd-5th grades, so I hope he's one! He has no interest in sports. He hates to lose, and I think that's a big part of it. (He comes by it honestly.)
I vaguely mentioned I'm going through my own ordeal right now with a long lingering injury that's making life difficult, especially raising my son. Lots of parallels with you and your husband and my wife and I. Putting everything in God's hands, and He has always delivered, but it's never easy.
Thanks for all the updates. It continues to lift my spirits vicariously. 😃♥️
You're right! It's never easy, but it's always worth it. I'm glad to hear it helps you.
Prayers to you sister
Thanks so much!
