so today Travis mom got laid off. she was
a Human recorces coordinator and manager
of freescale a HUGE company here in texas.
and they called her and a few people in
and told then they were being laid off
today. she gets 7 weeks of pay still, but
wow. its a shocker.
everyone is upset
im still in the whole shock thing but we
really dont know WHAT shes going to do.
she made almost 30/hr at that company and
absolutly NOWHERE in austin is going to
hire and pay that much  expecially around
the hollidays
what im really scared of is that travis
parents might want to move back to houston
now. since she could get a job there
paying the same amount at her old job. and
im scared that the conversation of moving
again is going to pop up. then what the
heck do I do?
ive got a baby due any day now and i CANT
move to houston. ugh. im really stressed
out right now and i know i need to stay
calm but i dunno what to do guys
i really just need someone to talk to.
on top of that ive been sick all day. ive
been feeling like im going to throw up.
and i slept in until almost 3 today
because im so freaking exausted and i dont
know why?! im getting lots of sleep?!!!!
ugh
thanks for listening
sorry about all the b*&^$#ing

That is awful that she lost her job. I'm
sure she and Travis's father are pretty
torn up about it. I would be devastated
if that happened to me.
You must be stressing. I know I would be
if I were in your shoes, and I don't know
how to say this without sounding
insensitive. That really really isn't my
intention, but right now you are focusing
on you and how his mom losing her job is
going to effect you and I think right now
you have to put yourself in their shoes
and think about how it is going to effect
them. Geez, they just lost a job that
payed over $60,000 a year. That is huge!
Is there a way that you and Travis can
move in with some of your family?

travis dad is devestated. hes one of those
people that stresses really bad.
his mom is alot more calm. i think shes
still in shock though. they think this
happend for the best and she says thank
god she has 7 weeks of pay instead of
nothing. she said she is going to find
another job, but i dont think she will
find one that paid as much as this did.
i dont know. shes got alot of expierience
in the medical and gynocology field and
then in human recorces so who knows? but
its the hollidays and travis dad said
people arent really hiring right now.
i know i shouldnt be thinking of myself at
all right now. i really shouldnt even
worry about anything but its hard.
ive been thinking about the whole moving
in with my family thing
theres not really any room for us at my
moms house. and my dad has an extra room
but i dont really think i want to live
with my dad. if it comes down to travis
family haveing to move back to houston i
dont know what we are going to do. i
really dont.
i feel so bad and i dont even know what to
say to them about it
so im trying to just stay out of the whole
talk about everything.

I would try to avoid those types of
conversations too. I bet his mom is in
shock. She's probably one of those women
that hold it together really well in front
of people only to lose it when she gets in
private. I'm sure she'll find something
really great, maybe even better....who
knows.
7 weeks severance is excellent. I would
love to have 7 weeks off with pay right
now.
I don't blame you for stressing out at
all. You are so close to having Kristin.
You are to the point where it is time for
you to be nesting and putting the final
touches on things. Things will work out
for the best, I'm sure of it.

thank you so much! i feel better kinda
lol
i knwo i shouldnt be freaking out.
everything happens for a reason so
hopefully things will work out ok. it was
just a shock and really not expected.
expecially so close to christmas time i dont know why
people do that:9 thats really sad and i
feel so bad for everyone who they laid off
today that DOESNT even get pay at all. so
i am grateful for that.
and yeah she is one of those people that
holds together really well. im going to
call my mom and talk to her tomorrow and
let her know whats going on. and im going
to tell her everything. i think that will
make me feel better

im not too sure? does unemployment depend
on the other persons salary at all? like
would travis dads salary affect her
getting that?

well my mom would let us move in hands
down. i know she would. theres not much
space there thats the only problem. and i
dont know how travis would even react to
that. i dont know. im trying to not think
about the whole houston thing.

I'm really sorry all that happened, Suzy.
I'm sure it'll all work out fine, but I
can't imagine how awkward and stressful
the situation is for you. I hope she
finds the jobs of her dreams soon... like
down the street from where you live now.
