well,it has been a little over a weeks worth of employment at foodsco and I have to say that I am disappointed.The hours weren't the hours I was told I would be working.In fact they were all over the place.Some at night,some early morning and some afternoons.I hardly got to see denise at all.She hates it,the kids hate it and I hate it.After working for thirty years in the baking industry I have to say That on a personnel note I felt quite embarrassed by the work I had to do and for the poor rate of pay.It feels like I have traveled backwards in time to a period where I have just finished high school and needed a job,any job.I do have some savings and Denise has said repeatedly that she at this moment prefers me to stay home and take care of household chores(dishes,cleaning,groceries,pick up the kids etc).Travis has a few problems with school and things,so we decided today that I would thank the store for their opportunity they gave me but at this time our family life is a tad more important to us.Lat year with a lot of hard work Travis showed great improvement in his school work and we don't want to fall backwards.I think if foodsco could have promised me the 2 a.m. to 11 a.m. shift we could have done this.But the other shifts don't allow for much interaction between me and my new family.I have been thru this in a previous marriage and I don't want to go thro this again.When Trav shows more personnel responsibility then I think we will try for this employment again.We are not actually hurting financially as I think everyone believes.In actual fact Denise and I tend to be overly careful about our money.We would like to thank all our friends from church and our families for their prayers.Deep down they weren't wasted as we found out how much people were worried about us and it is a warm feeling to know we are in their thoughts.We will be fine and I will be back working soon but I think perhaps it may be in another profession as I think the baking industry has changed so much that you don't have to be very skilled to be a baker anymore.oh well,perhaps walmart or target aren't all that bad or maybe even go back to working my other job(bookstore).Once again thanks to all and once again,don't worry"We will be just fine!!"
