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 Sad expecially around the hollidays Sad

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 Sad
i really just need someone to talk to. Crying or Very sad
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 Sad

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 Sad
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 Sad 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?

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.
