So Proud of My Husband!

Today marks an end of the BULLS**T my husband has had to endure at his job, actually the department he has been working in for the past several years.  He loves the company he works for but the department head has had it in for my husband since the first day they met.  I won't get in the details but let's just say my husband has been treated disrespectfully and down right wrong for the past 6 years.

My husband gets up every Monday through Friday before it is even light out and makes his way to his job. The moment he walks in that door he is ready to work.  He does that for his family.  If he didn't have us he would have left this job a long time ago because of the way he has been treated.  He has been degraded, ignored, and treated like he is nothing from his superior.  Last year got real bad and my husband started bringing that crap home.  We were all stressed out and it was making life at home difficult.  I told him if things don't change he needed to leave this job because it's not doing him or us any good.  No job is worth losing your self worth ( I need to follow my own advice- that's another blog post, lol)

Then late last year the company was bought and things started to change.  People in charge were now noticing the work my husband was doing and wanting to know more about him.  Attitudes were changing drastically and there was more communication going on that was encouraging.  Then big news happen that they were going to open a new department.  Everyone was telling my husband that he needed to apply for the position but he didn't want to at first because his self esteem was so low he didn't want to put himself through applying and being told he was not capable of the job AGAIN.  He has applied for other positions over the years and it was his supervisor that was always doing the hiring so he never got any of the positions. His supervisor didn't want him to grow and basically shut him out of everything positive.  Then he got word that his supervisor won't be the one hiring and my hubby jumped on the chance with a lot of support from co-workers and applied!

His interview went awesome and I could tell his confidence was growing.  Guess what he got the position, a LEAD position  Everyone around him was so proud and told him he deserved it- which he did!  His supervisor still hasn't congratulated him and actually made his last week there suck.  But he now can leave this department that has suffocated him for years and rise up to be that confident man he is meant to be! This position is a life changer for us is so many ways.  First, it came with a BIG TIME raise.  He won't be held down anymore and that is the best thing because that was slowing killing my husband's moral.  We knew this year something had to change and thank goodness it changed the way it did.

Bad thing is he has to leave us for 3 weeks to train but we will get through this and look forward to what this year will bring!

My Little Girl Turns "9" This Week

Oh my where as the time went!  Sahara turns 9 in less then a week and I can't believe it.  She has been my shinning light ever since she was born.  She keeps me going every day that's for sure.

The day she was born was very emotional for all of us.  It was a planned C-section so we knew when she was coming but we didn't know she would be born with two extreme clubfeet.  The first day of her life she was put in casts- from top of legs to her toes.  This was very emotional and we had no idea what to expect. The Dr told us she might not walk because of how extreme her feet were turned in.  So the next 2-3 years were a lot of casting, couple surgeries, a lot of Dr Appt's, braces, and a lot of tears.  We do physical therapy now. Today she still has a bit of a pigeon toe run and can't put down one of her feet all the way but she is not letting anything stop her.  So proud of her and her determination.

She loves to DANCE~

I'm so proud of my almost 9 year old she ROCKS and I'm looking forward to what she is going to do in the years to come.

Join Smiley360 to get products like this TRY!

My Review~  We probably won't buy anything else but Mucinex from now on!  My husband and I have had the adult version and love it.  When Smiley360 sent me this to review I was so thrilled because my daughter was coming down with that NASTY COLD everyone was getting.  This cold that was going around was knocking people down for days.  Lil Mama she doesn't do well with being sick because that means she has to rest and STOP whatever 100 projects she is doing.  We gave her the medicine at bedtime- I had her stay home the next day and by that evening she was back to our little whirlwind.  Her runny nose stopped, her cough was just a little tickle (her words) and thank goodness nothing was going on in her chest!  I will be buying this product from now on!
